I saw this Tuesday night at the Met. It is quite possibly one of the worst animated movies in recent memory that I've witnessed. Maybe even worse than Treasure Planet. Dreamworks needs to stop casting $20 million actors in their animated films and make sure they are actually GOOD first. The Pixar films would be nothing without the strong stories and well written characters. Shark Tale doesn't have either. So basically, fuck this movie. Dreamworks should be pushing Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence more.
I took my ex-girlfriends' kid to see a movie, and the ads for this came on, and the first thing I thought was...pure CRAP...and I'm glad someone out there saw it before I could. While i like bad movies, I dislike bad kids movies, so I'll avoid this like I avoid said ex-girlfriend :-)
Out of curiosity, what was the worst movie you've reviewed, Oh Vile One? :-)
The SOK has seen the following cinematic masterpieces so far this year:
Eurotrip; Scooby Doo 2; Shrek 2; The Ladykillers; Spider-Man 2; Anchorman; 13 Going On 30; Day After Tomorrow; Harry Potter 3.

The worst movie I've reviewed, I think that was Anacondas about a month ago. The review is thus:

Dude, Shark Tale could be worse than Manos and Breakin' combined and it'd STILL pull down more green than an adult-themed ultra-niche market manga movie. Why should Dreamworks fuck their biz up to satisfy the few hungry geeks out there who'd probably get all I-liked-this-before-it-was-cool pissy if GITS2 DID hit it big?
Once upon a time in China, some believe, around the year one double-ought three, head priest of the White Lotus Clan, Pai Mei was walking down the road, contemplating whatever it is that a man of Pai Mei's infinite power contemplates - which is another way of saying "who knows" - when a Shaolin monk appeared, traveling in the opposite direction. As the monk and the priest crossed paths, Pai Mei, in a practically unfathomable display of generosity, gave the monk the slightest of nods. The nod was not returned. Now was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei or did he just fail to see the generous social gesture? The motives of the monk remain unknown. What is known, are the consequences. The next morning Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin Temple and demanded of the Temple's head abbot that he offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult. The Abbot at first tried to console Pai Mei, only to find Pai Mei was inconsolable. So began the massacre of the Shaolin Temple and all 60 of the monks inside at the fists of the White Lotus. And so began the legend of Pai Mei's five point palm exploding heart technique.

I don't care what a few annoying otakus think. Ghost In The Shell 2 is a great movie, and because of its poor distribution a lot of people that want to see it in theatres WILL NOT be able to. And as far as I'm concerned, the only way to watch Innocence is theatrically.
I'm not saying they should be releasing GITS2 in 4,000 theatres like this Shark Tale chum, but at least give it more than 50. Dreamworks probably also wanted a best animated feature candidate with Shark Tale, but they already have it with Innocence.

I enjoyed the "passing of the torch" scence with Jackie Chan... And speaking of Jackie Chan, his earlier movies had as much plot as this one does and like Big Bad said "Who goes to a Tony Jaa movie for plot".
