Out of all of the Jaws movies, which one do you think jumped the shark? Sorry, had to do it.

From memory, Jaws: The Revenge. Even the title of the film suggests it's a personal grudge against a family.

However, the one with the underwater sea attraction thing always reminded me of Beverly Hills Cop III and the featuring of the movie world park.

The title is reference the family getting revenge on the shark, not the shark getting revenge on the family. It is a terrible movie though.

I guess it could be seen that way. I looked up some reviews to see what others have thought and the consensus seems to that the shark appears to follow Ellen Brody and seek revenge.

Yeah everyone thought that, even Roger Ebert. You’re definetly not in the minority. I honestly think Ebert might’ve been the one to start that misconception.

I kind of don't really even enjoy the first one.. but man 3-D sucked balls.

III
I and II were good.
III was pretty bad.

3 was bad enough with the terrible effects and supposed 3D (which, let’s face it was in its infancy back then).

Jaws 4 takes the biscuit though, what an awful awful film! The family ‘revenge’ storyline - ludicrous and THAT ending with the shark being killed by the mast of the boat, it was all just so laughable.
