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 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 Daniel Barnes 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 Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Morgott N I just watch the first JAWS (A masterpiece) and pretend the rest never happened because what even is this? The shark goes from Amity all the way to the bahamas? Is this some kind of superpowered shark? The only good thing I can say about this movie is the soundtrack, but it's not worth watching this movie, just skip it Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Jaime A The shark roars? Well that says a lot, a boring story, using fragments of the first movie and a shark that looks fake on almost all the movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Shaun R Lucky to get half a star. If this was a comedy spoof, I’d give it 5 stars. One of the worst sequels ever made. Quint wouldn’t be happy.

Now, to be perfectly fair, no one knows Who TF she is so I'll allow that she might have needed a paycheck. But, Michael Caine? He seldom, if ever, turned down a script but how did he figure this was a career move? I did watch this - once - on TV - maybe Shark Week? - so I don't remember what the character did but why was an Englishman a logical casting move? Probably wasn't, but Michael had a couple of weeks to kill between better parts? As for the movie itself, the premise is laughable and the production values of this PoS make the original Jaws - malfunctioning fake shark and all - look like Gone With the Wind! For those curious, there might be 20 minutes of the whole PoS that approach the "so bad it's good" level but it's basically a cringefest.
