Review of Jaws 3-D (1983) by Lex K — 22 Jun 2009
One the first franchises to reach trilogy status returned in the eighties promising to enthral its audience with the use of, at the time, cutting-edge three dimensional technology. Unfortunately, Jaws should not have had any sequels at all.
It should have remained in the film history books as a stand-alone classic much in the way that E.T. (The Extra-Terrestrial, 1982) and Duel (1971) (both directed with auteuristic aplomb by Steven Spielberg) are.
In Jaws III an ambitious underwater entertainment centre brought to the public by a Lou Gossett Jnr., fresh from his acclaimed performance in â??An Officer and a Gentlemanâ?? (1982), is predictably set upon by another large carnivorous fish intent on having his daily snacks.
There is nothing much more to say about it really. We are introduced to a young Dennis Quaid who does his heroic best but this is a flat movie and a product of Hollywoodâ??s convey belt system of sequels which assumes that quality can be achieved by simply duplicating the successful elements of previous films.
