Jordan P. Oof, this is bad. The plot makes even less sense than the third movie. The acting (save for Lorraine Gary and Michael Caine) is bad. The script is a mess. Who thought a shark cursed by voodoo (which was the original intent) in a Jaws movie was a good idea? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review The M I tried watching this after all these years and the movie is even worse than before. The cast is pretty good, but the whole story is a farce and even at the end the shark. Death looks like somebody used hotdog and ketchup.. They better get a better script Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Jens B 'This time it's personal!' The grand finale of the epic fish saga: Woman vs. Shark – Mother vs. Mother (assuming it's the same animal as in the third film) Large parts of the "revenge," however, consist of Mother Brody, with her extremely strange hairstyle, hanging out with (the perpetually drunk?) Michael Caine in the Caribbean. And then the film plods along gently until a ridiculously cheap finale quickly ends the scare. At least: The shark attacks feel like they are the bloodiest of the series, even if they're rarely used. Even though I find the fourth film a bit better than the third, I'll be returning to this one less often. And what they did to Chief Brody is a bit reminiscent of Ian Holm's fate in "Alien: Romulus." Well... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Redolent of budgetary overkill and artistic vanity, in many ways, I feel I can trace my love for quote-on-quote bad films back to Jaws: The Revenge. Admittedly, the film does an effective job of kicking the proceedings off with some promise before segueing into an exceedingly deliberate, and often hopelessly silly, midsection that boasts few compelling or interesting attributes. The rather sombre atmosphere, which is compounded by a premise that doesn't even make sense, ensures that the film's 89-minute running time generally feels much, much longer than it is, bearing all the marks of its rushed production, from the seemingly first-draft screenplay to its sloppy execution. Granted, the film benefits from having Joseph Sargent in the director's chair, who manages to deliver plenty of engaging interludes and some occasionally nice photography. In terms of performances, they range from the stiff to the entertaining, with every time you see and hear the nasally Lorraine Gary on screen, you want the shark to eat her. While Lance Guest and Mario Van Peebles are indeed somewhat entertaining in their roles, it's Michael Caine who is very much here to save the day. His complete lack of interest in anything but his pay-check is legendary, and the footage does not lie; we see him enjoying the sunshine, walking on beaches, dancing, enjoying meals and having a booze up; it feels like they grabbed 20 minutes of Caine on vacation and then created the rest of the film around that footage. At least Caine is having fun; not many actors can deliver a speech about what sharks do and do not do while dancing in a Samba parade, and it's to Caine's credit and talent as an actor that he makes Hoagie an unforgettable character. There's also the added benefit of a very good and mystical score by Michael Small, although nothing up to the standard of Williams' efforts on the first two, but still rather fabulous. Wholly unnecessary and pulling the shark into the weirdly supernatural, slasher-movie territory, Jaws: The Revenge is an unforgettable film, one that left its franchise finally dead in the water but a true masterpiece of the so-bad-it's-good genre, one that offers more laughs than most comedies and the true catalyst for my love for bad movies. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Julian S. Everyone pities Caine for being in this, but his acting is half the problem. His performance is dreadful. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
