Movie Reviews of Jaws 3
Movie Review: Soggy sequel sinks fast.
Summary: 3 Stars
About the only worthwhile thing about this DVD is the presentation in the widescreen format. Well, that and the trailer. After surprising Jaws fans with a Special Edition of Jaws 2, MCA basically dumped the last two series entries out as bare bones discs. Too bad, I would have loved to hear about the making of this movie (not to mention see Jaws the Revenge restored to its original theatrical version). A 35 foot great white shark slips inside a newly built aquatic amusement park, where it promptly gives birth. Her baby is caught and dies while in captivity. Mother is not pleased. A monster sized great white shark attacks an amusement park. Just who thought that this was a good idea? On the plus side, Dennis Quaid and Bess Armstrong make for a credible couple in love, the mechancial big shark looks decent (and it growls!), and director Joe Alves strives to make the attacks unique by offering shark's throat views of the gnashing and gulping. On the downside is the silly premise, the slow pacing (the movie is almost all talk and no attack action, which jettisons all chances for suspense or thrills), and, being a 3-D movie, things are always getting shoved into the camera and this stops the already far too slow moving movie dead when viewed flat. While Jaws was/is a classic and Jaws 2 just a passable summer movie, Jaws 3 will only appeal to bad movie fans looking to laugh at something not meant to be funny.Movie Review: The Shark Roars Again
Summary: 3 Stars
Seriously, the mother shark roars about five times once she's on screen and yet we still criticize the fourth movie? The only Jaws movie where the shark doesn't roar seems to be 2 (I thought I heard the shark roar in the first one [not the scene where the shark sinks to the bottom after being killed] but I maybe wrong). The script/story, though a joke, is at least a breath of fresh air than just rehashing the first one like 2 did. At least there's a surprise when after the baby shark dies, they reveal that its mother is somewhere in the park. The most fun I do have watching this movie is pointing out the effects that were supposed to be 3-D (seeing as how the effect of 3-D doesn't translate that well to home video) and stuff that the shark isn't supposed to be able to do (like roar and being able to go in reverse when inside the pipe). A very young Dennis Quaid is the elder Brody in this outing, working at Sea World (though which Sea World I don't know but I'm guessing its Florida). He's probably the best actor out of the bunch as everyone else, especially Louis Gossett, comes off as bland. At least they got some of the characterizations right, like Sean's being afraid of the water (he did see a girl get eaten right in front of him). I wish I could enjoy this one to the fullest but everytime they're underwater, I can't see a thing, even the shark is shrouded in the murkyness of the cinematography.Movie Review: The Cheesiest Jaws Flick
Summary: 3 Stars
I have watched this movie a couple of times, and the shark is so fake looking! Its entertaining, but fake! Towards the end where the people are in that room looking over the underwater tunnel, the shark comes toward the glass screen and breaks the glass getting into the room and trys to eat people. SO FAKE! It looked like a cardboard shark put in pieces with a stick moving its tail back and forth. Its a good movie but the shark looks really fake. At least in the first and I think the second Jaws they had real footage of real sharks. I didn't realize that this movie was put out in theaters in 3-D til' today, that might be the reason why some stuff looked really fake. I heard rumors on a website that they were making a Jaws 5 possibly. I would like to see what that would be about! For more information you could find out about the Jaws series go to www.jawsmovie.com IT IS REALLY EDUATIONAL ABOUT THE MOVIES! Haha anyways I'd give this movie 3 stars just because the shark was fake but good movie anyways, but I'd recommend Jaws 1 and 2 those are the best of the series, Jaws 4 is ok, but the script was badly written and the stupidity of the characters in the movie are questionable. Have a great scared time watching the movies and these movies did actually keep me out of the water some times, because this could Review: Bad, but fun!Summary: 3 Stars Ok, let me say right from the start that compared to the original Jaws, Jaws 3-D is one of the worse movies ever. Jaws is a flat out classic and this movie...well, is not. BUT, this movie makes my top ten "so bad they are good" list. Maybe I just have fond memories of seeing this movie in the theatre when I was a little kid. I was so excited as I sat there with my 3-D glasses, but I was also terrified. Even then I could tell that this movie wasn't very good, but still, it is so ridiculous that it is fun. Besides the fact that it's in 3-D, the movie is about a shark that invades seaworld!! I mean, come on. Are you serious? I would have loved to have been at the meeting when they pitched that idea. and yes, the shark looks incredibly bad. but the scene where the shark breaks through the glass toward the end of the movie is one of the funniest scenes you will ever see. It looks awful and fake, but it is hilarious as is the expressions of terror on the actors faces.
So if you have never seen this movie, watch it if you have a sense of humor. and a few glasses of your favorite alcoholic beverage wouldn't hurt either.
Movie Review: good plot but horrible outcome
Summary: 3 Stars
Jaws 3 had a very good story line plot. Mike Brodie, played by Dennis Quaid, works at Sea World and his brother, Sean comes over to visit, and that's when the fun happens, sort of.
first, a baby great white is caputured and placed in captivity. the park immmediately gains fame as being the only park to hold a live great white shark in captivity, but the fame quickly dies out as the baby shark dies.
then, Momma comes to town. the shark for jaws 3 is the biggest in the series. huge monster shark that swallows people whole.
what really killed Jaws 3 to me, was the cheap special effects at the end, when the shark attacks the main control center of the under sea kingdom. the shark never moves, and the effect is that of a cheap B movie. i realize that this effect is probably better appreciated in 3-D, but watching it in 2-d is just flat out horrible.
the ending also suits the special 3-d version, where the 2 jaws explode in front of the camera.
i like Jaws 3 for the simple fact that Jaws is Jaws, but it had so much more to offer.
