Review of Jaws: The Revenge (1987) by Drlowdon — 06 Apr 2018

The original Jaws is still (quite rightly) regarded as a cinematic classic and, as is so often the case, executives were determined to rinse every last penny they could from the franchise. This is the result.....

You wouldn't even think the pitch for this movie, one in which a shark is apparently out to get revenge on the Brody family for killing the great white in the original (no this isn't a comedy), would get past an initial meeting but it somehow actually made it all the way to being filmed. Every element of this movie, from the script to the direction to the acting, is downright awful and even at a running time of less than an hour and a half it felt like it dragged on forever.
