What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

'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. Go to Full Review

Jaws is looking a bit long in the tooth these days. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Jaws never needed a sequel, and with diminishing returns with each film, it’s easy to see why. The true revenge Jaws got wasn’t on the Brody family, but on moviegoers. Go to Full Review

We should all be thankful for Jaws: The Revenge killing off this series once and for all; it’s the rare blockbuster franchise that has never been revived after its initial run. That gratitude should not extend to actually watching it, however. Go to Full Review

…an unforgettable film, a true masterpiece of the so-bad-it’s good genre. It’s got more laughs than most comedies, …arguably the Godfather of the Sharknado spin-offs, Jaws 4 is a film which literally has to be seen to be believed… Go to Full Review

Laura B 5d While not the worst of the unnecessary franchise, Jaws the Revenge is still a tacky, boring mess that is only slightly enjoyable due to how obnoxious and bizarre it is. See more Michael A. @PhantomReviewer87 Nov 12 One of my biggest guilty pleasures. Its a film that is soo fascinatingly bad that it needs to be studied, and at the same time its concept is so batshit insane that I can't look away. And it's moments of insanity just add to its "so bad, its good" entertainment value. See more Tommy D Oct 9 This movie killed the franchise definitely. Orrible, trash and noise with interminable 90 minutes See more Rafael S Oct 8 Trash movie, killed the franchise that was wonderful (3 and 4 are terrible) See more Erik B Oct 6 Slightly better than Jaws 3-D...but only barely so. Also terrible, and not required watching to appreciate the series in any way. See more João A Sep 10 The movie is honestly horrible, i would prefer eating dog food rather than watching this movie ever again. Saw it as a kid, loved it, saw it again, hated it so much. Just the fact the shark roars like a lion in one scene already makes the whole movie a garbage can. See more Read all reviews
