Out of all of the movies by DreamWorks Animation, I’d place Shark Tale among the weakest features they’ve made. If not, then THE worst.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 23, 2024

This is a loud, visually busy, offensive in its obviousness and virtually empty computer-animated film from DreamWorks.

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 9, 2023

As it is, it's an adequate time-killer that benefits from an impressive voice cast... Best of the bunch is Martin Scorsese as puffer-fish Sykes, sounding like he's sucked on helium.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2019

It's awful and is without a doubt one of the worst mainstream animated films of the last 20 years.

| Original Score: F | Mar 11, 2019

Diabolically bad.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Dec 4, 2016

Making a kids' movie that's also funny for grown-ups is a very fine line, and Shark Tale has fallen way over the wrong side of it.

| Jul 29, 2015

There are a couple of laughs, but for me, it's a film that's mainly just going through the motions.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 29, 2015

I laughed quite a lot during this film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 29, 2015

Fast, fresh, funny action comedy set undersea.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Not up to "Shrek" level, but a feast for the eyes, DreamWorks' computer-animated underwater adventure is crammed to the gills with pop-culture in-jokes, movie quotations and a stellar vocal cast.

| Jul 6, 2010

It's obnoxious, derivative, and ultimately an empty experience.

| Apr 29, 2009

Fast, fun and fabulous.

| Oct 18, 2008

The script is a long string of awful verbal and visual puns, and the animation, while colorful, is a big step back from the Shrek films (and nowhere near Pixar's league).

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Quite simply the most middle of the road CG movie I think you'll ever see.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 30, 2006

Want a good fish story? Watch Finding Nemo again instead

full review in Greek

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 3, 2006

The kind of flashy and colorful but insultingly trite Hollywood regurgitation that far too often gets a pass under the excuse that "it's just a kids' movie."

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 26, 2006

Although the vocal performances often amuse and delight, the overall design is charmless.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

Shark Tale is no disaster, but despite the efforts of three directors, two screenwriters and phalanxes of technicians, it seems to be treading water.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Katzenberg and company still haven't figured out that was makes Pixar's features so much better isn't just the quality of the art but the way they manage to generate actual emotion without coming across as superficial or cloying.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2005
