Rating: Summary: A turkey Review: This is one of the worst movies of all time, and releasing a DVD version of it is akin to putting perfume on a pig. For sheer ridiculousness, Jaws The Revenge is surpassed only by Jaws 3.
Rating: Summary: ANOTHER BAD SEQUEL TO A GREAT CLASSIC Review: I saw JAWS 4 REVENGE and after I saw it I wanted to burn it it is a disgrace to the first JAWS just like the other sequels and here's why. I found LORRIANE GARY and MICHEAL CAINE just too uninspiring in thier roles they and the rest of the cast look so bored it's almost laughable even the shark looks fake and stale. So in my opinion avoid JAWS 4 REVENGE I wished I had!!!
Rating: Summary: And you thought you have seen every dumb sequal possible Review: WHO WAS THE PERSON WHO THOUGHT THAT THE WORLD NEEDED ANOTHER JAWS MOVIE? Another massive great white shark comes to the small New England island, but this time gets to munch on a member of the Broady family (about time). So all of the family goes down to the Bahammahs and guess who comes to dinner, yes the great white shark, who only gets a couple other victims and is beaten. You would think that this family would go to the midwest, and live far away from the water after third movie.
Rating: Summary: JAWS4 SWEEEET!!!!! Review: This was AWWWWWWSOME!!!! No wonder it got a PG13 rating, BLOOOD. New invention, SOME FLASHEY THINGEY.That Jaws in this movie looked scarier than Jaws 1, 2 and ,3! New place, BAHAMAHS BABY!! keep shopping!
Rating: Summary: Best Michael Caine comment Review: Cheesy schlock that, like the other sequels, buys into the horror cliches that Spielberg so brilliantly subverted for the first movie (does not the scene in the origninal Jaws where a child and a dog get eaten by the monster in broad daylight at a crowded beach right in front of the hero break every horror movie rule?).However, it did produce one great moment. When asked by an interviewer about this movie, Michael Caine said, "I have not seen the film, but I hear it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it paid for, and it is superb."
Rating: Summary: NOT TOO BAD....... Review: I like this movie despite its lousy storyline and fake shark effect. I like it because it stays true to the spirit of JAWS with its original characters and soundtrack, if compared to Jaws 3. Almost all the characters of Brody Family are here. The music score is wonderful but the original score by John Williams is still the best. The new location, Bahamas in this movie is beautiful with its crystal clear water. Other than that, nothing spectacular about this movie. If you are die-hard fan of JAWS, you might consider buying this for your collection. Forget JAWS 3, it is just like another shark movie with no connection with the original except the main character played by Dennis Quaid.
Rating: Summary: an interesting movie with some deeply scary scenes and laugh Review: glad I saw this one on tv many times too
both edited and unedited it's quite truly a moving , terrifying movie
am glad I have this on dvd
it's worth a spin in my dvd every time
that scene where the shark eats the guys arm in the beginning and he screams and no one hears him and then he goes under again and again is just as terrifying as some of the other scenes in the movie. and sharks can actually travel from place to place. they don't just say that in the movies. read up on sharks. they're quite interesting creatures. the movie also made me laugh too at times.
Rating: Summary: Jaws 3 VS. Jaws 4, hopefully the 5th and final sequel Review: Jaws is simply the greatest monster movie, and it is also a great film on many levels, and considering its worldwide notoriety, I wont go off on that tangent.
Jaws 2 is simply a low grade remake.
I have the distinct pleasure in saying that I have seen all the Jaws movies at the theater, some of them on opening day. As a fan of sharks and movies, its an addition I suppose considering that I have also rented everything at Blockbuster that has a shark on the cover or in the title. My expertise on the genre is admittedly self proclaimed, but if I get some business cards stating as such, maybe my following review with have greater credence.
Jaws 3 is a very bad movie. Starting with the writing, production, acting, horrific 3D effects and most notably, a waste of a big shark gone amuck in Sea World. The hope that the shark will take control of the park is the only redeming value of the story, but that is dashed. Why didnt the shark eat at least 4 of those show waterskiers? Because it is a very bad movie. The shark is right behind them when they fall, but they get out of the water just in time. The opportunity to turn the Jaws movies into a dynasty was destroyed here. Let the shark feed and live in a controlled habitat. Up until 2004, there had never been a great white shark held in captivity for more than two weeks. This movie could have served as a platform for shark observation and debauchery. This movie could have allowed the importance of shark preservation to be its theme, while showing numerous attacks of workers accidently falling into the water, the shark occassionally breaking out or maybe the brakes fail on a tour bus and it flies into the lagoon. Now thats entertainment with numerous possiblities. But noooo!
Jaws 4 on the other hand at the very least has good people eating scenes. Granted this shark has issues and the motivation of the shark to seek revenge against the Brody family is laughable, it does at least provide laughs. And I suppose some food for thought, sharks are people too. It also provides Micheal Caine falling for Mrs. Brody, proving there is life after the unfortanate loss of Chief (shark killer) Brody, as well as letting us witness the grown Brody kid get eaten. The special effects are better than Jaws 3, and the attacks are more frequent. Shark movies need to have shark attacks, and Jaws 4 delivers. I give this 5 stars as only a comparison to Jaws 3, when compared to Jaws it gets ZERO.
Sure its disappointing that the shark gets blown up in the original film, but this is argueably the only movie that is better than the book.
Rating: Summary: Jaws #4 - Pretty Bad Review: The shark does not look real. It looks like a big plastic ballon. The movie has little or no redeeming value. The worst thing is that it gives the public a totally wrong idea of what sharks are all about. Sharks are not monsters. For the most part sharks are no danger to people.
Rating: Summary: A very theraputic way of farting and crying at the same time Review: It's that funny. If Jaws the Revenge was released say, 70 years ago, it could have been scary to certain standards, but no sequel, certainly not this one, could ever live up to the original classic or better yet, the Peter Benchley book itself. C'mon. Sharks plotting revenge? For no apparent reason against a particular family? It's also very amusing in the way it tries to insert useless cameos and irrelevant flashbacks from the first film in order to spruce up and blind the viewers to what can only be considered a monumental travesty, especially with such a great actor like Michael Caine playing a guy named...Hoagie. Personally, I don't know what was more hideous, the fake shark or Lorraine Gary. Either way, you'll either be severely depressed or immensely amused by what transpires, from the Lifetime-esque opening credits to the painfully bad showdown in the end. DON'T buy it, but hey, it's your dollar. And your conscience.
