Jaws: The Revenge 1987

Hot Take: this is the best Jaws sequel

I don’t know why I watched this. I heard the shark roars like a lion and it definitely does so that’s something.

Man, people really hate these last two sequels, eh?

I don't even think 'Jaws 3-D' is as awful as most fellow reviewers think and that's the case again with 'Jaws: The Revenge'. It's bad, but it's not that bad. It makes little sense, though to be fair it is from a franchise that is all about a huge human-killing shark; despite sharks, in fact, not actually being all that keen on our rotten flesh.

Michael Caine is somehow in this. Well, I say somehow... a trip to the Bahamas and a nice paycheck likely made it entirely logical from his view; as he reportedly stated himself. Lorraine Gary, meanwhile, spearheads an average support cast. Speaking of whom, I did find their dialogue and interactions to be very unnatural and forced.

5*. There are many, many worse films out there though.

Sometime between "Jaws 2" and "Jaws: The Revenge", Martin Brody finally managed to leave this shark-infested world behind. And his youngest progeny, Sean, has never heard of Batman's shark repellent spray either. Unfortunately, the creature didn't eat Brody's wife for dessert. That's why we have to put up with the rather untalented Lorraine Gary as the lead this time. The evil sharks still have a bone to pick with the Brody family, though, which is why they even follow the wrathful widow to the Bahamas. Whether their revenge plot is successful is something everyone has to find out for themselves. However, my rating should be warning enough not to do so.

What a waste of time. Absolutely bottomless.

Revenge of the Roaring Killer Shark

Not even close to being the worst shark movie i've seen but this one's definitely the worst in the franchise. The shark looks so fake and lifeless. Poor kills and scares. The slow-motion doesn't help. Good cast and the characters are somewhat enjoyable, especially Jake. It's crazy how many errors are in this movie. Pretty sure this was the final nail in the coffin for the Jaws franchise.

But it was all worth it to hear a fish with no vocal cords roar. The shark also stood up on water like Jesus did.

There's nothing really to say about this... It's just boring, incoherent rubbish. The only redeeming feature is the locations. I'd rather watch Jaws 3 once a day for a month than watch this ever again... and that says rather a lot.

It’s a Christmas miracle! The great white shark comes after the Brodys for Christmas in Jaws: The Revenge, and this time it’s personal. When her youngest son is killed by a shark Ellen Brody decides to leave Amity and spend the holidays with her elder son’s family in the Bahamas, but her psychic link to the shark draws him there before long; and he proceeds to stalk after her and her son. The plot is ridiculous and Lorraine Gray is terrible (but part of this is the writing). However, Lance Guest delivers a strong performance, and Michael Caine brings a nice levity to the film. Also, the shark effects aren’t that bad, though there’s no real menace or sense of terror to him (as he’s really only after the Brodys and whoever gets in the way). For a B-horror movie, Jaws: The Revenge is alright and a slight step up from part 3, but it’s not good and an absolute travesty compared to the original.

Good movie now I'm never going to the beach again

Another really big shark has...targeted the Brody family. That's seriously the plot of this movie.
