Roar!
-Shark

Instead of doing a review I will just point out the crap that inhabits this film.

- The shark roars like a lion.
- Mario Van Peebles does a Jamaican accent
- The shark swims from New York to the Bahamas in less then 3 days.
- This is the sequel that popularized the tagline "This time it's personal!"
- African Americans feet apparently look Caucasian under water
- The god damn shark is hunting one family, even that weren't born yet during the last attack.
- The film tries to suggest that there's some sort of psychic link between Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gray) and the shark
- Roy Scheider was hospitalized because he busted a gut…

There’s a part where the shark roars in anger that it wants to kill the mom and the mom is telepathically connected to the shark and knows where it is at all times whenever it’s attacking

This movie opening with Sean Brody getting eaten by an evil shark with a grudge and quickly becoming a Shark From Hell story as Mrs. Brody heads to the Bahamas where said shark follows her to settle a shark score(?): some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

Everyone knows or has something to say about this movie... for me, the word fascinating comes to mind. That opening scene is a legit banger—an emotional gutpunch and if I’m being perfectly honest, the only scene out of all 4 of these movies that gave me extreme nightmares as a child.

I watched this a lot back then, and honestly I think this fits in perfectly with loads of 80’s weirdo genre sequels that boutique labels make their bread and butter on… Sure, its shitty but there’s a breaching shark letting out a robust roar... I kinda love the idea of a supernatural revenge beast shark traveling thousands of miles and eating airplanes while weirdo psychic connections and juuuust the right…

Wait a minute, this isn't right. I actually enjoyed this. No really, I had fun. It's quite amusing, I don't know. Somehow Jaws 3 had given me immunity to next level bullshittery. Not sure if I should be grateful, but I've grown stronger now. Yes, more emotionally stable and mentally prepared. Throw anything at me and I'll swallow it whole like a great white. Telepathic shark? Swallowed. Ridiculous continuity errors? Chewed. Eyesoring effects? Digested in an instant. The shark got hit by a boat and miraculously exploded, but I've seen worse. I've seen things that make me straight up want to die. I have war flashbacks that make my stomach churn. I've seen films that hit a point so low…

Absolutely not the worst movie ever, not even the worst movie in the franchise! Yes it’s bad, but damn is it fun and if you don’t have fun watching this I’m worried about you. DM me we need to talk.

A shark kills Sean Brody in Amity which was honestly traumatic to me when I was a kid watching this in front of a TV that was still it’s own piece of furniture while laying on the floor in a den covered in shag carpet still clinging to its heyday. It then travels all the way to the Bahamas to specifically target the remaining Brody family and apparently it’s the result of a voodoo curse that got cut from the film…

Watched as part of Letterboxd Shark Week

It's never a good sign when you're rooting for the shark so the film will be over sooner.

It's never a good sign when the shark looks like the reject special effect fro the original Jaws.

It's never a good sign when absolutely fuck all happens for most of the time.

It's never a good sign when Sharknado and Ghost Shark seem more plausible than a shark on a personal vendetta.

It's never a good sign when Mario van Peebles.

It's never a good sign when you go for a toilet break and can't be arsed to press the pause button.

Bleh.

(2020 Summer Blockbuster Series)

It is safe to say this movie officially jumped the shark on this franchise!

"Dad died of a heart attack! ... No. He died from fear. The fear of it killed him."

While I would not consider any of the Jaws sequels to be good, Jaws: The Revenge takes it to another level with how hilariously bad it is. I would have never seen this if it was not for my kids becoming such big Jaws fans, and even they were baffled by how stupid and lazy this movie gets.

"Roar!"

(Quick Hits) .... Spoilers:

- At least you could take Jaws 2 and 3 somewhat seriously. I wonder if those involved realized they were basically…

"You couldn't find your ass with both hands!"

Somebody chose this for the movie club that I'm in... I feel personally attacked but actually it wasn't completely awful. Very dumb yes but also very camp and everybody knows sharks roar like lions, we learned that in 1st grade!

When I get back, remind me to tell you what happened when I flew a hundred nuns to Nairobi

Is this a good movie? No. But is certainly not as bad of a movie its reputation suggests. Let's be honest while not particularly good it's still better than JAWS 3! The plot where we are supposed to believe the shark holds such a grudge it's hell-bent on killing the entire Brody family off is ridiculous. Yet I still can't help but buy into the ridiculousness of this shark having supernatural powers of some kind lol! Then you have Ellen Brodie having flashbacks of Chief Brody shooting the shark in JAWS which she wasn't even present for - just an amazing…
