Jaws 3-D vs. Jaws The Revenge

Jaws 4 is possibly the worst big budget sequel ever made and its own director has slammed it in radio interviews.

Having watched both recently on Netflix, I can say I hate Jaws 3-D a lot more! A bunch of characters I could care less what happens, a bad ending too. Revenge is no winner, but at leasr Caine was in it, despite the horrible hairstyle of Gray!

I like Jaws 3 much more. it has a sense of humor and even a sense of humor about itself. 4 seems to hold the audience in actual disdain.

I can be entertained by a corny movies (Jaws 3). And whats more... Jaws 3 tried to have those 'Jaws' moments. The fin breaching the surface with the theme in the background, chasing the waterskiers... Or the big reveal near the end.... It had intriguing sequences. Attacking the underwater tunnel.

4, i can't think of anything good.... I remember one time Brody encountered the shark underwater, and it was like,... just floating there.... So bad. no intensity or even trying. The banana boat part was a bonafide attack, but it was handled all wrong... One moment Ms Brodys on the beach, the next moment, there's a person in the shark's mouth. No lead-up... no tenseness... It just happened.

I prefer Jaws The Revenge, sure it is ridiculous in plot but least it entertains me. I have watched Jaws 3 several times, sometimes i really hate it, sometimes I get through it by amusing myself by adding my own scenario's to it or by just laughing at it. That scene where it shows a horror shot of all their faces when the Shark busts through the glass in one the worst effects sequences ever has me in stitches. Also picture quality wise on every format ever released Jaws 3 makes me feel like I had my eyes cleaned with sandpaper before pressing play.

Both terrible with the odd good bits but Jaws 4 is slightly ahead for me.

Jaws 3D had potential. The huge mother could have been a megalodon, and might have been an opportunity to do some old fashioned monster movie business - cuz you would definitely need a much bigger boat. The flooding underwater corridors and the (awful) control room attack through the glass are ideas that point to the sharks-in-the-room-with-you concept that really kinda worked in Deep Blue Sea. And overall the movie is decently done and moves along well, with good music and generally good actors. The effects are the worst, though... Stop motion was not a sane choice for the shark.
Jaws 4 seems like a casually careless TV movie of the period. The story is listless, the actors seem disengaged and the finale is at least as awful as the control room window business in the previous film.
Interestingly, I read the novelization by Hank Searls and it derives from an earlier draft... which would not have improved the film much, since the most notable difference is a voodoo curse which may be directing the shark.

Jaws 3 is worse, but more fun to watch.

JAWS 3-D IS A CLASSIC...JAWS 4 IS SHARK SHIT.
