  What were they thinking! What was Michael Caine thinking! Another pointless repetition and a meaningless side story about a pilot who likes a woman. Dont go into the cinema.

  JAWS: THE REVENGE, sadly not saved by it's none-too-clever subtitle, finally takes a PG-13 rating (without it invented the other three should have just taken an R rating)--but that doesn't mean it's at all thrilling just because there's about a gallon or two of blood spilled! It was lazily crafted, it makes absolutely no sense, and even though it's the end, they just ended it the same way they ended all the other ones. In other words, don't be surprised if JAWS 5 comes out just to create a good ending that says, "Here ends the series."

  Wow. First of all this movie completely ignores all that happens in the third movie as if it didn't happen. And what does the shark (with his super powered ability to know where this family is at all times) have to get revenge for? Because it's shark friends were killed by them? The kill count in this movie is a pitiful '2'. Yes, 2 people get eaten. A third gets eaten at the end of the movie, is visibly chomped up, swallowed, stays in the sharks stomach for like 10 minutes underwater and in stomach acid, is rammed by a boat spear inside the shark, and gets electricuted and blown up by a huge bomb within the shark, and then is seen moments later conscious and alive talking in the water with some blood on him. Some studio big wig wanted a happy ending there. Plus they crash their plane in the water for no reason and their boat is instantly floating rubble the second they crash into the shark. Not to mention the shark is magnificent at getting people while they are still safely in the middle of their boat the movie (i'm still scratching my head as to how the son at the begining gets killed). Pretty pathetic, and would be a laughable comedy had someone been here to enjoy it with me. My biggest question is how the hell did they get Michael Caine to do this piece of crap. The best part of it is that Lance Guest from the Last Starfighter was in it, and gave a good creepy stare like old times.

  Jaws The Revenge is the worst film in the series, and is luckily the last in the franchise. The film has lost any credibility as a Horror Thriller and does not scare one bit. It's simply another shameful attempt to cash in on the Jaws Legacy of 1975. The film is simply terribly acted, terribly directed, the shark looks fake and the actors themselves seem bored and uninterested in doing the film. The film is simply incompetent in every way imaginable, and has no redeeming quality to redeem this terrible film. No thrills, horror or suspense abound in this film. Jaws: The Revenge is an empty vessel with no heart or soul, and towards the end you are left wondering why in the fuck did I just watch this piece of shit. If you haven't seen this film, you are so lucky, as it is truly terrible and is a sad conclusion to a Horror thriller series gone terribly awry.

  "Jaws" is one of my favorite movies of all time and I also liked "Jaws 2" a lot, but I didn't like "Jaws 3," and it's hard to believe, but "Jaws: the Revenge" is possibly even worse than "Jaws 3." In the famous great white's final film, he terrorizes Ms. Brody (Lorraine Gary) once again, making her nightmares come true, even though she's now in the Bahamas instead of Florida. As much as I hate to say it, "Jaws: the Revenge" isn't that good of a movie. Jaws himself doesn't have good effects (it's VERY easy to tell he's fake), and the few kills that he makes aren't even that exciting. Not to mention that the movie's ending was even more underwhelming. As bad as "Jaws: the Revenge" is, it is watchable. Just don't expect it to stand anywhere near the ranks of the first two movies in the series, it's more at the level of "Jaws 3." Unfortunately, Jaws just didn't have enough revenge to make an exciting movie. I don't recommend getting "Jaws: the Revenge" unless you want to collect all four movies in the series. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. The first two Jaws films are all time greats, the next two, anything but.

  Unintentionally hilarious, Jaws: The Revenge is the best comedy ever. I keep expecting Michael Caine to turn around and say *In a Michael Caine voice* 'My word, that bloody big shark has gone an' eaten my light aircraft. What a bleedin' cheek'. Guilty pleasure but doesn't deserve too many repeat viewings.

  I can't believe Michael Caine was in this craptastic finale to the Jaws saga.

  Better than the 3rd, with quite a different feel to the others. This time set in the carribbean a great white appears to trouble some treasure divers.

I once saw a stand-up comedian devoting his entire routine to taking the piss out of this film...unintentionally hilarious!!

  Going into this movie I really just wanted to get it out of the way so I bought a six-pack of beer to get me through the movie, and I came out drunk before even finishing the movie. The plot of Jaws 4: The Revenge is about a immortalize Shark didn't die two movie sooner following Ellen Brody and her family for revenge killing him three time. Now knowing that this had a ridiculous story I went into this movie buying a six-pack full of beer, apparently what I was drinking wasn't strong enough as I ran out an hour into the movie. Yet despite this, I was able to notice stupid moments like the Shark actually roaring, hearing that the Shark actually followed the Brody family to the Caribbean, and the first person who gets killed by the Shark spills blood into the water before ever getting bitten. Also, even my sober girlfriend who saw this with me, are still wondering how the Hell did the Jamaican guy in this movie even live as we saw him get bitten and taken down into the Ocean. My conclusion for this, I think everyone else would agree with me, the Shark is simply just racist and wants to eat white people. Even after finishing my six-pack I still thought the acting was terrible. Everything in this movie is just terrible, even the Shark itself. For a Shark wanting revenge he's not all that intelligent, nor do we see him for a good portion of the movie. We mostly see humans and everything they say is boring. Can anybody tell me who thought it was a good idea to cast Lorraine Gary as Ellen Brody because she does not know anything about acting. I literally wonder why she laughed at a funeral and why she cried on a cruise ship with her family, even I know to act properly in a given situation better than Lorraine Gary. Now I would usually be done by now if it wasn't for the fact there was another sequel call Jaws In Japan that my friend Simon gave me. I remembered saying to my girlfriend and giving her the keys, "I'm probably going to get my stomach pump safer watching this". So Jaws In Japan belongs in the "found footage" and it's so boring that most of the movie involves Japanese girls in bikini doing pointless stuff. Would you believe the Shark looks even more fake than in Jaws the Revenge, you will if you see it. I was more frustrated to find out that it wasn't even a official sequel to the franchise, so I watched a unofficial Jaws sequel which sucked, stay away from that one too. So I'm finally done watching all five Jaws and I hope they never make never make another sequel. I barely got through Jaws the Revenge and the unofficial sequel Jaws In Japan. So I watch two horrible movies which almost made me get my stomach pump because of how horrible they were. So by all mean avoid any Jaws sequel after the second one as they're not worth anyone time.

  I can't seem to make myself give this movie a 00%, but I will say, while the movie itself sucked hardcore ass, I still think it isn't one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Now, this movie sucked, yes, & undeniably one of the worst movies ever made, but it's not the worst I've seen, & believe it or not, I was actually able to sit through it without any problems & I can actually watch it again, & again without getting pissed off at it (not that I would watch it again). The major problem with this movie other than the fake-looking "Bruce" (the shark), is how BORING it is! Now, I have yet to see the other two, mainly because every time I watched any of the Jaws sequels, I never got passed the first 10 minutes of them. Plot/Story: The story is cheesy, the plot is just referencing the first film & also seems to be pasting other stuff from other movies, & there are so many plot holes. And as the others have said, the plot is about the shark stalking & murdering the Brody family. Yes, the shark actually stalks the family that has killed it in the previous movies. But that's the least of this movie's problems. The plot & story is also both illogical & makes little sense. Now, the one illogical thing this movie has is how the shark traveled from New York, all the way to the Bahamas. That's almost what...2000 km? The shark not only would have never made at the same time as the characters did, but it would have never even have had to make it in the first place, because, great whites don't like warm water! Now, I know some of you may know me for the fact that I'll take realism in a film, rub it in my ass cheeks & then toss it aside, but this film tries to portray a man-eating shark in a realistically fictional way, which doesn't work so well. Then there's the problem with Ellen. But that part I'll save for later, so don't forget it. And then there's the part where the shark follows Michael through an entire sunken ship labyrinth. A great white shark is too damn stupid to do such a thing. But that won't get in the shark's brain because apparently this shark now grew a brain that of a human intelligence! It THINKS of what to do next if it doesn't seem to get to it's victim! Cast/Acting: Lorraine Gray came back to reprise her role as the wife of Martin Brody, & then we have Michael Caine, the supporting actor. But everyone else in this movie is forgettable. And the acting is extremely questionable. There are points where the actors play their parts right, but then they are in another scene where they seem to be acting like they've been doing some drugs. Characters: Remember when I said above to not forget about the problem with Ellen Brody? Well here it is now. Ellen now became the more heroic character of the movie, but that's not her problem, the problem she has is how she is always paranoid, & worse of all, she is haunted by flashbacks of events that she was never present in! Such as the scene where her husband shot the shark dead in the first movie & where her son was murdered in the beginning of the movie. Her character is also boring, not doing much but freaking out & pretending to be fine. I don't even wanna get to the other pointless characters. Music/Score: The score is just fine, almost as great as the first one's score, but the problem with it was that it sometimes got a little too dramatic & loud. Special effects: They sucked, ass. The shark looked way too fake, especially compared to how it was used in the first movie. And don't get me started on the scenes where the shark began to 'rise' out of the water. And the scene where the shark was finally killed, for that one frame of that second of the movie, you can see the cheap, primitive tool used. Don't even get me started on the idiotic scenes of how the shark began to roar. Yes, the damn shark roars like a lion or some other beast, which is completely illogical. Chemistry: I felt lots of chemistry between Lorraine Gary & Michael Caine, that's pretty much it. Dialogue: The dialogue in this movie is so poorly written & executed that I seriously wondered if the actors themselves questioned if they were supposed to be saying what they read in their scripts. It's just bad, plain out bad. Final summation, this movie sucks, is boring, & one of the worst movies ever made, but not that I've seen. It was an unnecessary sequel.
