Just watched this after who knows how long!!


I always liked this better than third movie. Maybe if they did this one right after"Jaws 2" then it would have done better? "Jaws 3-D" really sunk this one in my opinion. It's like they felt they had to do a real Jaws story after that garbage.

It wouldn't have made any difference which movie came first. As far I'm concerned, Jaws: The Revenge sunk all by itself.

At least Jaws 3-D had originality, however laughable some might see it. The concept isn't entirely impossible. Anyway, the main complaint I hear about Jaws 3-D is the special effects being bad. OK fine, it's dated, and hasn't translated well into 2-D format but it's still more entertaining than Jaws: The Revenge.
While the cast does have a fair bit of talent on board, their performances are very phoned in to the point that they appear sleepwalking through the horrendous script that might play well in taking a few cues from the original 1975 film, but it makes a complete mockery of it in total. It was an idea that shouldn't have been greenlit.

Redundancy at it's worst.
