Review of Jaws: The Revenge (1987) by Jason O — 10 Sep 2009

"Jaws" is one of my favorite movies of all time and I also liked "Jaws 2" a lot, but I didn't like "Jaws 3," and it's hard to believe, but "Jaws: the Revenge" is possibly even worse than "Jaws 3." In the famous great white's final film, he terrorizes Ms. Brody (Lorraine Gary) once again, making her nightmares come true, even though she's now in the Bahamas instead of Florida.

As much as I hate to say it, "Jaws: the Revenge" isn't that good of a movie. Jaws himself doesn't have good effects (it's VERY easy to tell he's fake), and the few kills that he makes aren't even that exciting. Not to mention that the movie's ending was even more underwhelming.

As bad as "Jaws: the Revenge" is, it is watchable. Just don't expect it to stand anywhere near the ranks of the first two movies in the series, it's more at the level of "Jaws 3." Unfortunately, Jaws just didn't have enough revenge to make an exciting movie. I don't recommend getting "Jaws: the Revenge" unless you want to collect all four movies in the series. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. The first two Jaws films are all time greats, the next two, anything but.
