Movie Reviews of Jaws 3
Movie Review: IT'S A SCREAM!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hollywood seems forever hell-bent on producing contenders for the dubious honor of Most Unnecessary Sequel Ever. But despite awesome new entries like Speed 2: Cruise Control and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the crown continues to belong to Jaws III.
Whereas the unnecessary sequel Jaws II still had Chief Brody, Jaws III features the now grown-up Brody boys (Dennis Quaid and John Putch) at a Sea World theme park in Florida, far from Amity and Roy Scheider. Quaid is about to unveil a mammoth, man-made lagoon attraction, which, you guessed it, will quickly become a shark-feeding station. Now meet the rest of the cast: Louis Gossett Jr., Lea Thompson, Simon MacCorkindale and, as Quaid's girlfriend, Bess Armstrong. Needless to say, you'll be rooting for the shark from the first frame.
Just as you're thinking that the underwater picnic can't begin soon enough, a shark gobbles up a lone diver working on the gate between the lagoon and the open sea. When the victim fails to show up at home, his angry girlfriend is certain he's with another woman--"I tell you, the man's trash!"---but Quaid and "senior biologist" Armstrong fear something worse and set out in a submarine to investigate. Two pet dolphins follow along, apparently with the intention of proving that dolphins are smarter than people, for as Quaid and Armstrong leave the sub to swim around, the dolphins warn them of impending danger by shaking their heads back and forth. Sure enough, a shark suddenly lunges for them. Lacking fingers to shake at the foolish humans, the two dolphins rush over to Quaid and Armstrong and offer them rides to safety. For the second time, the shark fails to get them. Why? For one thing, it resembles a giant inflatable Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon and moves about as fast. To become this shark's dinner you'd practically have to swim into its mouth and throw yourself down its throat.
Faced with the alarming prospect of a killer shark in an underwater theme park, Armstrong has an idea: trap the beast and turn it into an attraction. "This is crazy!" roars Quaid--the very words he failed to say to his agent after reading this script. Naturally, the troop goes hunting for the shark, and, naturally, the shark promptly attacks, but MacCorkindale deters it by conking it on the snout, about which we only say: don't try this at home. Inexplicably, the shark proves easy to capture and becomes an endearing pet. Finding Armstrong petting the shark in the tank, Quaid jealously jumps into the water, saying, "If this is the only way we can be together!" Armstrong primly hands him a plastic bottle with formula for the shark. It's a Jaws III-way. When the park opens to the public, nymphets in hot pants succeed where Quaid and Armstrong have failed--they come upon the shredded torso of the missing diver. Ever the aquatic professional, Quaid takes one look at the remains of his pal and barfs.
Armstrong realizes... well, let her tell it: "Our shark couldn't have killed him--its mother did!" Yes, the captured shark's 35-foot great white mama is fiendishly racing around the lagoon, which is now filled with tasty tourists. After knocking people out of a boat and overturning bathers on a wooden raft, the killer shark simply scratches one person then politely stops. (Is it any wonder this movie was nicknamed Gums?) But things pick up when MacCorkindale cages the mama shark (don't ask) and then neglects to leave the cage himself. This allows for a genuinely laugh-out-loud shot of MacCorkindale's view from inside the shark looking out--a peak moment in sharkcam cinema. The body count begins to go up until the thing you've been waiting for finally happens--Armstrong gets attacked. Alas, Quaid rescues her before she can be safely devoured. Quaid then saves the day by detonating a hand grenade inside the shark--a fitting ending for this legendary bomb.
Movie Review: Stop tripping ! ! ! ! I love this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
...People it was filmed in 1982.Of course it doesnt have the cutting edge video technology.What are you expecting ? ? ? ? I love the idea of making this a 3D movie. I hope they have a version of the DVD release has a 3D version to it....I know it can be done.Nothing like a big ... shark coming thru your Tv to get you.In the vhs copy you can tell what parts are in 3D (the opening scene where the what appears to be a grouper get bit into whe the head rotates in bloody sea and stares at you.)Awesome ! ! ! !The story from what I hear takes place in Orlando Sea World.This is the only thing that plays head games with me.I live in Lakeland FL 20 minuts away and I have an annual pass to Seaworld Orlando and alot of the movie couldnt have been filmed here.1st Theres no Lagoon and where its location is I dont see where the Ocean connects to the park.(looking at Seaworld map)In any case all this doesnt matter.The movie entertained and did its job of keeping us in suspence through out the whole movie.Ok it was no matrix when it comes down to imaging but it was still good enough.
The plot:
Mike Brody (Dennis Quaid) son of "The Chief" is grown up and works for Sea World w/ his girlfriend(Bess Armstrong).The story evolves around Sea World opening and The owner or what ever he is Louis Gosset JR does all he can do to get things off to a great start.when a baby 15 foot(baby lol) Great White finds his way into the park and a worker is missing in Action.They decide to turn this into something possitive by making the shark into an attraction which doesnt work (Great Whites cant live with the current water-filter system) So the baby dies.So Ok they think thats that case closed-WRONG mom comes looking for the baby and she's a tad bit cranky.Im not going to ruin the ending ...just in case you havent seen the movie. I recommend this flick.2 thumbs up.I always root for the bad guy.( of course do you blame her looking for her baby and, come to sense her baby was done wrong.shoot People, you'd do the same thing if it happened to you. dont blame the shark.)
Just buy the video/DVD.
Movie Review: I'm chompin' at the bit for this DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Jaws 3" is packed to the gill-slits with stars.Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett, Jr. had such a potent chemistry on-screen, that they teamed up again for "Enemy Mine."
Bess Armstrong shows up now and then in made-for-televison movies.
Simon MacCorkindale found pop-culture immortality as the star of "Manimal."
The dude who plays FitzRoyce's sidekick went on to be the main heavy in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."
Lea Thompson became a staple of great '80s flicks, and a popular NBC sitcom.
John Putch guest-starred in sitcoms, and is now an accomplished director.
The film itself is enjoyable, but shouldn't be watched seriously--even without its original 3-D film processing (which is sadly missing from the DVD). While the first "Jaws" displayed at least a modicum of intelligence about its monster, "Jaws 3" basically ignores any factual information about the Great White Shark, especially one that's (an unheard-of) 35 feet long. Bess Armstrong plays a peppy marine biologist who displays a tragic lack of knowledge about sharks when she says "Our shark still had all its teeth--that means it was a baby." Unfortunately, sharks don't have temporary teeth like a human child; they go through hundreds of sets of teeth throughout their entire lives.
Still, "Jaws 3" works as a sort of underwater slasher-flick, with gruesome killings and potboiler characters, and the battle royal between Jaws and two bottlenose dolphins is a hoot. It's a far cry from the mastery of the first film, but is a fun way to pass an afternoon.
Movie Review: Stunning and Errie. The Sunset Attack is Unforgettable!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of, Jaws 3 takes the series awqay from Amity Island were the previous Jaws films were set, and into sea world. The film starts out with a nasy female great white following a group of water skiers into the sea world compound. The shark gets into the compound and no one nocices. Later that day teh dhark tries to exit but the ocean passage is closded. Now the attacks begin. Oncve again the series offers strong characters development and interesting persenalites to reniforce tyeh film along with teh errie and scary attack scenes. One thing about this film is teh sense of clusterphobia towaqrds the end. An ill fated shark atatk leads a tour group in an underwater tunnel stranded and left fearing the monsterous beast. Almost everthing in this film is great including its slam bnang fishish of an ending. The movie has been slammed due to the fact that soem people just don't like movies with a "3" in the title but trust me this film is pretty dam good! Also, the cover art is spectacular and is a must in any ones DVD collection. Buy all four Jaws films on Dvd- You won't be dissopointed.Movie Review: "Jaws 3"
