Movie Reviews of Jaws - The Revenge
Movie Review: A guilty pleasure...
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this film despite its many flaws. With some hefty editing, they could have made this better than it was. One, they should have taken out the roaring noises the shark makes. As many have stated here, sharks do not roar. Two, they should have left the original ending in where the boat's bow impales the shark and sinks into the depths of the ocean. The ending currently featured has the same thing only after being impaled, the shark explodes which makes no sense. Three, Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gary) has visions of her deceased husband and son in flashbacks when she wasn't even there. Should have been cut out. Four, the title should have been changed so it didn't say "The Revenge." As noted and even spoken in the previous sequel Jaws 2, sharks do not take things personally. The emphasis of the film shouldn't have been that a shark had a personal agenda towards members of the Brody family. I feel it would have been fine for the Ellen Brody character to become neurotic and think that a shark was after them personally, but we don't need to hear silly tag lines like "This time, it's personal." Five, the Jake character should have died after being attacked by the shark. Originally, that was what happened. But it was changed so that the Jake character lived after being chewed up by the shark. Stupid. Six, they should have added at least one more death as the body count is low. Still, I enjoy this film in a guilty pleasure sort of way and thought the cast did a good job despite what they had to work with. It was nice seeing Lorraine Gary reprise her role as the grief stricken mother trying to protect her family from more harm. Universal should have done some simple editing to this film on DVD with some of the suggestions I mentioned to make it less silly and less insulting to the viewer. Watch it for some form of entertainment, but nothing serious.Movie Review: Better than 3 but still not very good.
Summary: 3 Stars
At least now we get back to the basics in this one. The 3rd film was terrible, as it went away from the sea and brought the killer shark into Sea world. THIS film, is the real sequel which concludes to the second and first, but it still isn't great. Lorraine Gary reprises her role as Ellen Brody, also Michael Brody (the kid from 1 and 2) comes back, along with his brother Sean (you might remeber Sean as being a cute little boy in the first film), well if you liked him in the first one you will be dissapointed 'cause he hardly lasts ten minutes in this one, although it is quite a thrilling scene. What was stupid about this film was that the rest of the family go to the bahamas 'cause Michael has a job there, but for some reason, the shark can somehow know where they're going and follows them there. I'm no expert on sharks, but I know they can't swim in warm water. Also, how can a shark have feelings. It heads there so he can kill the whole family. What I liked about this film was Michael Caine's performance, he shone some light into the movie. I didn't like the look of the shark (they usually look bad in all of the films, but this one looked horrible). I liked the cast, they seemed like they enjoyed doing this film, that little girl's quite cute too. What I hated was Ellen's flashbacks, she has flashbacks in this about Sean being eaten by the shark and Roy Schieder killing the shark from the first film... but how can you have a flashback of something when you didn't even see it? I liked a couple of shark scenes, I thought the chase in the sunken ship was quite tense. I didn't like the ending though. Like from the third film, the shark roars. Why? And it dies by getting the mast of the boat stabbed through it's body. Very sad.So, good and bad points there, all I can say is, you'll love it or you'll hate it.
Movie Review: This movie was better than the third jaws.

ok were back in amity again, Sean is now living with his mother Ellen and he is the chief of police. when sean gets a call of a blockage in the channel he takes his boat out to investigate. he finds a big pole stuck on a bouy, when he goes to remove the pole a shark lunges out of the water a rips his arm off. the shark comes back and grabs him out of the boat. he surfaces screaming for help. just to be pulled under again, but this time not coming back up.
So goes the begning of jaws the revenge, sean brody being killed by one of the spawn of sharks that his father killed in the original jaws.after seans death ellen gets all emotional and decides to move to the bahamas with micheal his wife and his daughter to get away from the shark.(if you want to get away from a shark you dont go to the Bahamas!!) well ya you guessed it that pesky shark follows her down there to get revenge on the final brodys.

Movie Review: The Great Hunt is over ...
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, this movie's plot is a short and simple. It all starts with it taking place in Amityville, once again. Some time has passed since Jaws 2. Mrs.Brody is living in Amity. Chief Brody has passed away and his youngest son, Shawn is now chief deputy of the town. One night, Shawn is out on patrole on the habour and is call help clear some driftwood. However, the whole thing turns to be an ambush and Shawn is killed by a great white shark. Devasted by the lost of her son, Mrs. Brody heads to the Bahamas, to get away and spend some with her eldset son Micheal and his family. During her visit, Mrs Brody is able to relax and enjoy herself. She even catches the eye of pilot, who starts to fall for her. Unaware of that the great white shark has followed her to the island. Just when things finally seem to getting better. Mrs. Brody's granddaughter is attack, while on a friendly boat ride. The daughter is alright, but now Mrs. Brody is face with making a diffcult decision. Either she goes out and kills the shark, once and for all. Or, she can watch the shark kill everyone that she loves and cares about. Well, this was an okay movie. Also, you gotta give Lorraine Gray some credit for stepping up in this installment of the series. For what it's worth, she doesn't do a bad job.Movie Review: GREAT WHITE FAIRY TALE
Summary: 3 Stars
This final entry in the JAWS franchise is as expected pretty ludicrous and nowhere near as good as the original movie. But it's better than 2 and 3, so that's a start. This time, Lorraine Gary is now a widow (not really sure what happened to Roy Scheider?), and her youngest son is killed by a great white on Christmas Eve. She thinks the shark came back (I thought it got exploded twice?) for revenge. Her oldest son (Lance Guest) persuades her to come visit him in the Bahamas to help heal the wounds. She wants him to stop working in the water, but he's a scientist studying of all things snails and he doesn't want to give it up. Gary meets and falls for suave pilot Michael Caine (He'll do anything it seems), and just when things start looking up, here comes the great white to wreak havoc again. It's all pretty silly and Mario van Peebles is simpy awful as the rastaman associate. The IMDB says Peebles wrote his own dialogue; what a crime--it's terrible. So why 3 stars? It's entertaining in a pedestrian manner and one can't help but root for Gary when she finally confronts her demon again. Thankfully, though, no more JAWS films surfaced.
