Jaws: The Revenge

There are three words that sum up the quality of Jaws: The Revenge. What the fuck? The fourth and final movie in the Jaws franchise follows Brody's wife as she genuinely becomes the target of the film's shark. This movie has what may just be one of the absolute dumbest movie plots ever. Brody's wife becomes convinced that the shark is seeking revenge for the actions of the previous movies. Just wait, it gets dumber than that. She goes on vacation and has a middle aged romance with Michael Caine. She soon finds out that the shark has followed her from New York to the Bahamas. That still isn't the dumbest part of the movie. The absolute stupidest part of the movie is the fact that the filmmakers allude to the possibility that the wife has a psychic connection with the shark. How did we fall this hard from grace in comparison between the original Jaws and this movie. The worst thing about this movie is that the plot I described should be entertaining, and it's not. If anything, this movie is just dull. It's not a fun kind of bad. Instead, I'm left wondering why this movie has nothing really interesting about. The acting is kind of weird for me to talk about. It's not quite good enough for me to praise. But, it's not really bad enough for me to criticize either. The effects are not very good. They are better than the effects in Jaws 3, but that's not saying much. There really isn't much more I can really say about this movie. A couple more re-writes might have actually been able to make this an enjoyably bad movie. As it stands, the movie is just too boring for me to even praise the movie in a bad way. Watch the first three, but skip this one.
