poor sharks! I haven't seen this yet but I have my pvr set up to tape it.

Sorry I will have to disagree with the save the earth crowd.

Any animal that wants to eat me, I have no pity for. That goes for sharks, grizzlies, or any other carnivores that view me as their dinner.

Any person that gets eaten by something bigger (or not) than them just learned a valuable lesson... survival of the fittest.

It generally goes like, man catches shark, man cuts off shark's fins and makes soup. I mean, what about the rest of the shark?

When a shark eats a man, he eats the man whole. No waste. I think the shark is smarter

WOW!! I cant believe you said that. You should be watching this movie before you make a statement like that. When they throw up stats like "in the last 10 years humans have reduced the shark population by 90%" or "we kill 2,000,000 sharks a year for soup" or "sharks only kill 5 people a year, elephants kill 100....." of thoes 5 people that they kill they dont eat them they die of blood loss after the shark figures out that they dont really want to eat us. The impact on killing sharks is way bigger than "oh well we killed them all because they want to eat me". Need I say more?
