Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: The Second Best Jaws Ever. Comment: JAWS the revenge is exciting but not as good as the first. Although it will keep you scared! If you like Jaws you don't need to see this one.
Customer Rating: Summary: One of not many who enjoyed this film Comment: I am a big fan of the Jaws series. Wasn't too fond of Jaws 3. Loved the first 2 and then it came down to this one. Did I like it? Of course I did. I don't go and question how a great white shark got into the Bahamas waters or anything like that. I just enjoyed the movie for what it was worth. Customer Rating: Summary: This is the worst film ever made and everyone knows it is Comment: Jaws the Revenge is so bad that you just want to kill yourself, and say prayers before you die. Believe me you people who love Jaws, don't see this one. Customer Rating: Summary: The worst Jaws and in the top 100 worst films ever made Comment: I'm sure there are better reviews than mine but I had to warn anyone who is thinking of watching this..or worse, buying it, that it is literally in my top 100 worst films ever made. There is one stupid after another. In fact, one cannot attach a single positive word to this film. The silliest thing in the entire film, and there are many, is having the shark growl. I cannot believe that the fool who directed this actually got funding. Customer Rating: Summary: This time - it bombs. Comment: I recall seeing this movie down the shore in the summer of 1987. I was five years old. It's my oldest memory of going to the cinema. Sad, isn't it?
To a five year old in the late 80s, this may have been terrifying. To an adult in the late 00s, it's monumentally stupid. There's so many major flaws in this movie, the biggest of which happens to be the main plot: a shark seeks revenge against the Brody family. My question is - why? Who is this shark? Did the shark from the first three movies survive and is now exacting vengance? Is this shark a relative of those first three sharks? If so, how does this shark know who killed his family? More importantly, how does the shark know this family left Amity for the Bahamas? Does he have hired spies on land? How does he even know how to get the Bahamas? Why does Ellen Brody have nightmares about events she wasn't even present for? Why is Michael Caine's shirt dry after climbing out of the water? Why does the shark roar? What causes this shark to explode? Is Mario Van Peebles a Jamaican superhero? Why can't Lance Guest's wife act?
My brain hurts. And yours will too after seeing Jaws: The Revenge! See it!
One star for Michael Small's admittely thrilling score and Michael Caine's new house.
