Critics Consensus

Illogical, tension-free, and filled with cut-rate special effects, Jaws: The Revenge is a sorry chapter in a once-proud franchise.

This movie is god-awful, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. This movie series was meant to scare the public about sharks. I will give the movie some credit for having a nice animatronic shark.

A heartfelt, beautifully acted epic that truly changed my perspective on the social and economic state of the world. Caine melted me the moment he came on screen - and what's more, the state-of-the-art CGI and acting bring this redemption of a classic to life. Jaws: The Revenge is nothing less than a cinematic masterpiece that deserves to be enjoyed on the big screen.

'Jaws: The Revenge' bears the marks of its rushed production, from the seemingly first-draft screenplay to its sloppy execution to the slender running time (under 90 minutes without credits) to the generally cheap look and feel.

Jaws is looking a bit long in the tooth these days.

Los Angeles Times

Dumb beyond belief, hollow, bloody and nonsensical, it's Universal Studios' vanity movie, a way of providing employment yet again for its Great White icon.

Video Review

In the considerable wake of the superb original Jaws adventure, one dreadful concoction after another has come our way. Jaws The Revenge (actually Jaws IV) is about as inane as they get.

Rated: 1/4

Dare Daniel

Located a million light-leagues away from the elegant terror of Spielbergs 1975 classic, this fourth entry turns the shark into a standard-issue 1980s slasher villain.

Rated: 1/5

Jason Shawhan

Nashville Scene

Jaws: The Revenge (1987) has that amazing Percy Rodrigues-narrated trailer ("This time ... it's personal") and a sadly excised voodoo subplot, but it's also an attempt to give Lorraine Gary something to do after 12 years and too many folk lost.
