Review of Jaws 3-D (1983) by Chandler Kate — 07 Apr 2009
This is a movie I had always wanted to see, not because I'm a huge fan of the series, but because the concept sounded cool. A killer shark terrorizes an underwater park = awesome!
Unfortunately, JAWS 3 fails to capitalize on its intriguing premise. There's so much wrong here, I would need all of the memory power on the planet to list each fault. It's a dull, cheap, overlong mess which, on DVD, loses almost all of the appeal it may have carried without the 3-D effects to rely on.
The acting is atrociously fake, with even the normally reliable Louis Gossett Jr. and Dennis Quaid looking embarrassingly unseasoned. The plot is overly convoluted and hazy, and it takes far too long to get to the shark; in fact, 15 minutes in you'll be praying for the big Great White to charge in and eat everyone in sight.
Idk what it was about her, but for some reason, I really enjoyed watching Lea Thompson in this movie.
