Summary: I woud have given it 5 stars, but....
Review: ...This DVD has nothing on it, but a trailer. Granted, I have never seen the trailer until today! I am the biggest JAWS fan, even though this movie is one of the worst! It has some great qualities behind it, you just have to look beyond the LOW budget! I would have liked to have had both endings on the DVD, but let's face it...I am the only one who is going to buy this movie and watch it again and again!

Summary: A lot of misunderstanding...
Review: This film Could have been a HUGE hit if they had modeled it more after the book, the book explains how a voodoo priest is insulted by Brody , he then puts a curse on the Brody family, the Curse is the "Shark"! and the book includes Hoagie in drug running , he eventually becomes a good guy and changes his ways in the book and seeks to help the lonely Miss Brody! however they changed that for this film, the deaths are more gruesome in the book than in the movie also......the setting for this film is AMAZING! Beautiful place!!! and Lorraine returning as Brody's wife is great! the shark looks VERY awful in this one, however once again, its the Chracters that make this installment fun.the idea behind this film isnt shown, and changed from the books vision and in the end this will always go down as the cheesiest film of the series, too bad they didnt show the voodoo curse! it added another level to the book, too bad they made the film cheesy, its still a fun installment and a Must buy for fans of the series! (anyone hear the shark growl like Godzilla at the end when brody is shocking it? hehahahaha that is funny! campy , yep campy)

Summary: A KICK BUTT SHARK MOVIE
Review: I FIRST SAW THIS MOVIE WITH MY FRIEND TY AT HIS HOUSE.
THE MOVIE BLEW ME OFF MY FEET. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE AWSOME AND THE SHARK WAS WAY BETTER THAN ANY OF THE OTHER JAWS MOVIES. THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE.

Summary: Ingmar Bergman would laugh/be disappointed
Review: For those who don't know Ingmar Burgman, he has made some movies like "Fanny & Alexandrea", "Scenes from a Marriage", etc. that captures a much more realistical view on life, almost like you're really there. The actors and actresses are amazingly great in his films.
Now we see Jaws 4 (Revenge), and it is sooooo much not like his work at all.
There were sooo many places in the film that had bad acting. The story dragged on and on, and really seem to have slowed down soo badly.
If you're in the mood of a stupid movie plus you have NOTHING else to do that day, then maybe, you can watch this, but I recommend a different movie.
This is slow, no story, its so stupid that someone would think the shark is really getting revenge on the Brody family.
It's just ahh.... tastless, and I haven't even watched it all yet. The second half can't be any better.
For a good Jaws movie, get the original!!! That's the classic, and that's a great film!!!
Good job to those who did the first Jaws!
I give Jaws: Revenge -5 stars for the plot, acting, filming, etc..
On a stupid and pointless level 8 stars out of 5, it goes beyond stupidity.

Summary: Yes, Everything is missing from this disc
Review: Let me first say that I think that this film is actually much better than 99% of people give it credit for. The only things that leave a bad taste in the viewer's mouth are the somewhat nonsensical plot and the fact that the shark in this installment is even more fake looking than in the first two. But it does have some great character drama, and in its unedited, extended version, is actually quite watchable. However, this version remains relegated to once-in-a-blue-moon TV showings and has never been released on video. Universal did go through the trouble of including deleted scenes and featurettes on their DVD releases of the first two Jaws films. (Well, with the first one their only trouble was cramming everything from the five-disc laserdisc set of 1995 onto one DVD, which they didn't even succeed at, hence the LD has more stuff.) But their DVD releases of the last-two are strictly by-the-numbers, almost as bad as Warner Bros. pan-and-scan releases of their back library. The fact is that I know there are extra scenes from this movie that are sometimes shown out of place during screenings on Universal-owned TV networks. There is also, of course, a completely different theatrical ending not involving any exploding sharks or footage from the first film. But for the purposes of this Universal DVD, they have no knowledge of these scenes. Overall, this is very disappointing. The studio seems to admit that no one really liked this movie by not putting anything extra on it, when we all know there is a wealth of material waiting to be released to the public in a watchable format. Shame on Universal.

Summary: Well worth it!
Review: This film is not bad, and the shark looks fearsome, but not fake. Good intro., with the haunting tune. The shark made me feel scared. I love the attacks of the 25 footer. They're gruesome and terrifying. Not as good as the original, but good nonetheless. Don't view it as a serious critic, but view it as a Jaws installment and for scares and entertainment.

Summary: What next? A shark in the Brody Pool ? (0 out of 5)
Review: What kind of crap is this? A fourth shark getting revenge on the Brody family. This must be a mafia movie, not a sea creature horror. And sharks do not roar. Have you ever heard a dogfish bark or a catfish meow? The amazing thing is that an oscar winning actor goes straight to a garbage film. Shame on Micheal Caine (what a waste of a talent). Same goes for Louis Gossett Jr. in #3. NOTE: Micheal Caine even missed the ceromony where he won for "Hannah And Her Sisters" in 1986 (or 87) so he could film this junk. And now Mrs. Brody becomes a heroine? Her?! Oh, man. This is so bad, I almost cried and laughed. How about for laughs, make #5.... GUMS! I agree with anyone who trashed this movie...and Universal....give up.

Summary: Warning, Universal is trying to cheat you...
Review: Words cannot express my sheer dissapointment with this release (the now 3rd edition of "Jaws: The Revenge" on DVD!). First of all, "Revenge" is not a great film by any stretch of the imagination (it's only merrit being that it is part of the Jaws series and a treat for "big-rubber-shark-lovers" throughout the world). My problem with this new disk (the Universal release) is the following: In the original theatrical release of "Revenge", the shark dies when Ellen Brody stears the front of the boat into the side of the shark and impales it with the broken mast. The shark writhes in pain as blood oozes from its mouth. Slowly, the giant shark sinks back into the water, taking the front half of the boat with it. The closing shot of the scene is a beautiful underwater shot of the sinking beast falling into the darkness below with the front end of the ship stuck in his belly. The scene is bloody, violent, and an absolute thrill to watch. But then Universal had to ruin it... When "Revenge" was originally released on video, the ending was changed completely. Now, instead of the front of the ship stabbing the shark and sending him sinking to its death, the front of the ship hits the shark, and he/she/it BLOWS UP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. To achieve this new ending, Universal splices in clips of the shark death from the original "Jaws", and uses an embarrissingly crude model to illustrate the shark blowing up (in fact, if you watch the scene frame-by-frame, you can visibly see a small, poorly sculpted wooden shark next to a poorly crafted wooden boat being blown up in what looks like a puddle in somebody's driveway). Not only does the scene not make any logical sense and looks terrible, Universal then decides to cut in shots of Mario Van Peebles' character "miraculously" rising to the surface, having lost 10-15 gallons of blood after being bitten in half by a 3 ton Great White Shark (needless to say, he dies in the theatrical cut). It has been this poor excuse of a cut of the film that we have lived with since 1988. Several years ago, "Goodtimes, a one-time distributor of "Revenge", released the film on DVD (2 versions, one in a snap-case, the other in a hard-case). While these discs contained the "bogus" ending, the transfer is quite good and the image quality is superior to other "nobody-cares-about-this movie-but-me" releases. But for a short time, there was hope... Last month, Universal announced its own release of "Revenge" on DVD (along with the first DVD of "Jaws 3"). It would appear that FINALLY, after years of insulting its viewers' intelligence, Universal would finally release the theatrical cut on DVD. I mean, what would be the point in releasing a title in the same version that's been around for 4 years? Why sell fans something they probably already have? Why not give them something different? The answer to this is that obviously Universal couldn't care less! Not only does the new disk contain the "bogus" ending, but it also contains a transfer that is inferior to the one produced by Goodtimes. I had such high hopes for this release. Needless to say, I am an enormous Jaws fan. In fact, while on a field-trip to Universal in 1986-7, I actually saw the shooting of this final scene on the backlot - stabbed shark and all!) I feel VERY CHEATED by this release, and now hold zero hope of the theatrical cut ever making it to a DVD player in the future. This was Universal's chance to make good on 16 years of [crud], and they blew it. Avoid this disk at all costs.

Summary: A sorely underrated piece of classic
Review: Joseph Sargent's truly great "Jaws The Revenge" is a film whose time has not yet come. To mock its awfulness is to miss its masterful use of sharks and women. Beginning with a great scene in which a shark eats a man, it ironically moves onto a scene with no sharks at all. The juxtaposition is profound and, most of all, surprising, allowing us to note the absence of both man (now eaten) and shark (swimming with a belly full of man). My favourite sequences are when we get point-of-view shots from the shark's perspective - I felt transported and realised this is as close as I'll ever get to knowing what it's like to be a shark. Such is the power of cinema, brilliantly unleashed to its full and utter potential in "Jaws The Revenge" (no colon necessary). A masterpiece of masterful movie magic.

Summary: final movie
Review: Well Jaws the revenge is not as good as jaws1,2 but it beats Jaws 3 by a long shot. So many people disliked it though. I believe it was great! Lorraine Gary did a great job. The shark attacks were good as well. I know everyone is thinking that a family being followed by great whites is stupid but its what makes the movie! Im a big fan of the series and i think this movie really topped it off.
