Movie Reviews of Jaws - The Revenge
Movie Review: What might have been..
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie would have been wonderful if it had been more subtle. The plot is actually wonderful, implausible, yet you believe the story and truly sympathize with a grieving mother. However because of some shots that are in very poor taste, the movie is an abysmal popcorn movie you would expect to be featured as a tv movie on SyFy. The shark is obviously fake and mechanical and is suffering from overexposure, watch the scene where they first see it.. you just feel this sense of let down because, there it is in all it's glory chomping away at the boat and everyone in the shot just stands there with their hands in their pockets like .. "Oh there's a shark.. well isn't that weird". But again, in their defense, it is so fake even the actors I'm sure had trouble pretending it was real.
The best part of this movie is the onscreen chemistry between Hogie and Ellen, it's wonderful to see that Ellen Brody has met someone and being all giddy; but then it is Michael Caine so I'm not sure how much of it was acting.
Michael Brody is the stupidest person on earth. He knows the moment he saw that shark that it came for him, the other guy was dangling his feet in the water for a long time and it didn't even try to get him, just in case you don't realize this, someone points it out later in the dialogue. He continually goes down in the water even though he knows the shark is there for him and even allows his daughter to go into the water.
Another thing worth pointing out is that whomever, handled this shark obviously had a sense of humor. The shark teeters from side to side like a drunk as it swims and even plays hide and seek growling all the way like a lion.
The lone scary moment of the movie comes when the eel scares Michael, that is actually a great shot. I think that Ellen's shoulder pads should have gotten mentioned in the credits, they date the movie and are heavily featured in this film.
Movie Review: Highly Overlooked. A haunting sequel. Lorraine is amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
The film got bad mouthed for years but maybe this re-release DVD will change some people's minds. First off, if your looking for a film with a high body count and sharks ripping people to shreds every five seconds- look somewhere else. Jaws:The Revenge focuses more on the wife (now a widow) of police man Brody (seen in Jaws and Jaws 2) and how she is continusely haunted by the creature of the deep who has terrorized her family. After the shark kills her 20 year old son, she seeks comfort from her oldest son, Michael, and his family in the Bahamas. While feeling constant fear, she demands Micheal quite his sucuba diving job and goes nuts when her granddaughter goes near the water. Her son and his family calm her down and dispite a grizzly nightmare (one of the highlights of the film) she begins to let down and slowly fall in love with a piolt she meets. But it seems that even in the Bahamas the shark that killed her son has come for her and her son's family. After wittnessing a violent shark attack, she decides to take matters into her own hands and using her son's boat- travels into the sea to face the hellish terror of JAWS.Some parts may sound dumb but thats not the case. The filming and back round music (not completley the dunnh dunnh) add to a chilling environment that will keep you out of the water for quite some time. Experience man kind against nature in JAWS: The Revenge.
Movie Review: Jk about the 5 stars, I meant to give it -80 hundred
Summary: 5 Stars
hmm.. This movie is so much fun to watch if your not taking this thing serious. All I did for however long this badong ran, was laugh and make jokes about it. On the other hand, if you are going to take this movie seriously, your not in for a great treat. Its horribly bad people. If you have feelings of depression, do not watch this movie becuase this will contribute to your unhappiness.
So my favorite parts of the movie are:
-When Jaws stands up out of the water- (OMG this is classic)
-When Jaws does some weird Barnum&Bailey circus Roar
-Whenever I see Mario Van Peebles' glasses- (very entertaining)
-Whenever Ms. Brody has seizures about Jaws- (hahaha seizures)
-When the credits appear
Dang, I kinda want some more Jaws movies to come out becuase with the way these sequels were headed, Jaws would have been driving cars and eating pizza in Jaws 17.
I do have to say that I love movies like this because I love laughing. So if you like to laugh and make fun of movies like I do, get Jaws: THE REVENGE! You'll have a great blast of fun.
Movie Review: Jaws The Revenge
Summary: 5 Stars
Quite Frankly, the theatre and DVD version of the movie sucks. It was very poorly edited for being a Richard Matheson and Carl Gottlieb film. Although, you are not getting the whole movie when you purchase the DVD. They cut out adleast 30 mins of footage. For instance the scene wher Lorraine Gary and Michael Caine go to the ship yard and view all the beautiful cruise ships. Also the scene where Lorraine Gary and Lance Guest share a beer and talk about the job is sadly missed. But mostly the original killing the shark scene. Lorraine slamed the boat into it. But why in the heck would it blow up! In the long version, the shark bleeds out of the mouth, snaps the boat in half, and sinks with the front of the boat. You also see the shark standing erect in the water from side view. Which is awsome compared to the shark getting blown up in JAWS III. JAWS IV: The Revenge Is far better then III. Of course I is best, then II, followed by IV, then III. Catch the original version on AMC. Possibly on Fear Friday nights. Email me with any questions about all Jaws films and on other films.Movie Review: So crap it's a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Compare this film to the original Jaws, and you couldn't ask for a better example of the extremes of the art of film making.Buy this film and see just how insulting it is to your intelligence. Watch this film all the way through and marvel at its inability to do anything right. Better still, when you're feeling down, watch this film to remind yourself that there are other human beings in the world that have had worse thoughts and done more unworthy deeds in their lives than you ever could.
When you're happy, watch this film with your friends and see how many naff bits you can spot each (there are well over 200).
Finally, use this film to feel self righteous and clever, safe in the knowledge that you can enjoy it ironically, knowing it to be the single biggest pile of crap ever comitted to celluloid, but still able to appreciate it for this achievement all the same.
P.S. If you are an actor/actress, this film will also prove to you that you CAN make it in Hollywood with absolutely no talent for acting, so live the dream!
