Review of Jaws: The Revenge (1987) by Exosphere — 04 Sep 2019

Quite possibly the dumbest and most insulting movie Universal Studios has ever given us. I have respect for Lorraine Gary for reprising her role in this movie, but everything wrong with this film can be found from start to finish.

This movie sacrifices what could have been satisfying character arcs for the pointless and weak storyline this movie actually has to offer. At no point does Jaws: The Revenge actually manage to take itself seriously. We’re led to believe that Roy Scheider’s character from the first movie was supposedly “killed from the fear” of the sharks, despite having killed two sharks already. Another flaw is that the kills are literally impossible to take seriously. (Especially that kill on the banana boat, lmao.) Just stick to watching Jaws and Jaws 2. Those are the only good movies in the entire franchise. How? they are good because the studio actually put effort into them.
