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.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire '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. Aug 6, 2017 Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune Jaws is looking a bit long in the tooth these days. Rated: 1/4 Apr 30, 2014 Full Review Sheila Benson 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. Apr 30, 2014 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Abominable. Rated: 1/4 Apr 27, 2025 Full Review Eliza Janssen Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) This is a Christmas film; a film about grief, about the importance of tracking snail migration; a clipshow of one of the greatest films of all time. May 29, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey Lyons 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 Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I don't know what I was thinking because i decided to watch this Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Nenad V Just a mess on every level. Acting, visuals , plot, EVERYTHING. And honestly, its so bad it hurts me, because Jaws is my absolute favorite movie, but not this one. Not even Loraine Gary or Michael Caine could save this one. Its depressing that this is an actual movie that Universal made. Jaws the revenge, YOU SUCK. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Stephen C What the **** were you thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***holes, *****es and *******s!!!!!!!!!!!!! And other kinds of losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Ilyas Z Honestly, I Only Liked The First Jaws Film! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Charlie P I’m convinced this film was just a money laundering scheme or something. It just doesn’t even feel like a real movie. 0/10 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Audience Member Jaws: The Revenge was awful. I hated it. Jaws: The Revenge was just a waste of time to watch. They wasted all of their freaking time make this stupid crap. So please don't waste your money buying this trash on DVD or Blu-Ray.
