Jaws 4: The Revenge


 At last we get to the final movie in the series. And after watching it....it's hard to decide which is better between 3 and 4. 

Man. I really wanted to like 4. But there's so much of the story that is extremely campy. The shark roaring (which I actually liked) The mom having some magical connection with the shark (awful) and the horrible editing during character deaths and at the end when the shark dies. In fact, it's so confusing as to what's going on, that this movie may be the worst of the bunch. The worst thing about 3 was its cheesy 3-D effects. The acting and scenes hold up pretty good. 

Michael Caine is in this one....but delivers an underwhelming performance. The mom from the original one is back....but she's wondering around the movie the entire time not knowing what she's supposed to do. 

Again....why does a shark follow a family to kill it across the ocean?? It wasn't related to the first shark. Why would it care who it eats? Oh, speaking of, there's a "fake" death in the end that cheapens the whole feel of the movie. They wanted to "raise the stakes" at the end but copped out because they didn't want to lose a key character.

Ok, I've decided. This one is the worst. 

Have a good weekend folks!
