The third film in the successful JAWS franchise follows yet another great white shark with a taste for humans, this time invading the opening ceremonies of a marine park in Florida. The brand new comp...( read more  read more... )lex offers visitors the chance to view the undersea kingdom from the safety of glass tunnels on the seabed. When a 35-foot great white breaks into the structure--seemingly in revenge for the death of its progeny--a group of marine biologists must do battle with the mighty mother beast.

    Jaws 3-D is a guilty pleasure, it's got a really solid story but its execution lets it down. Watching it without the 3-D effects is hilarious, it's really a so bad its good kinda film. I like it.

    Terrible effects and a rather silly plot make this a film to forget and when I say terrible effects I mean really bad :(
    The cast became more star studded or mainstream but its just a complete rerun of the first two (cant really go anywhere with this plot idea though) except its...( read more) set inside a Seaworld type marine park, which isnt a bad idea, but this needed better backup.

    Its a typical cheesey 80's horror slasher flick but with a shark as the boogeyman.

    Even with its great cast Jaws 3 (or Jaws 3-D) is a total cluster with effects so bad that they make an 11th grade film on mustard and lightsabers look like Jurrasic park.

    Pretty much the same old same, but in new settingsd. I'm kind of getting bored now.

    The third movie. Supposedly shot in 3D when it was released, the story follows son Mike Brody and gal pal working at Sea World in Florida, where a killer shark manages to make it's way inside the park. Cool effects on the large sharks attacks on it's victims. Movie was ok, and I ...( read more)enjoyed it.

    A couple good scenes, but minus the 3D it's almost entirely crap.
  • September 16, 2009
    Tired already. That white shark is bugging me already.

    Story? Crap
    Dialogues? Crap
    Vissual efects? Bad
    Special effects? Sh!t
    Direction? Crap

    Overall, boring and tedious. And the camera quality sucks.

    35/100

    Second generation of the family. Dennis Quaid was great as a young man. The place where the movie takes place is nice but the special affects were dreadful.

    Shoot the damn thing and quit filming it.

    i thought the first jaws was good the first time i saw it, then everytime after tht it was bad. But Jaws 3,,, o dear. it was HORRIBLE!!! all of these movie's plots, and story doesnt make sence at all. when the first movie's actors arent in the sequals, its obvious they are duds. and in some shots of the shark, the shark was swiming but not even moving. it looks like a 1st grader's sculpture. sorry for such a long review!!

    No wonder the baby shark died, look at the size of the tank it was in.

    It could have passed off as a fancy fish pond. Whoever stepped in, the water only went up to their knees. And if a great white was actually in that tank, what would stop it from grabbing a visitor? The ledge didn't stop anything.
