Movie Info

An ocean-themed Florida amusement park comes under attack from an angry Great White shark in this third installment of the horror series. The film maintains only a loose relationship to the original Steven Spielberg hit, centering on Mike (Dennis Quaid) and Sean (John Putch), the sons of police chief Martin Brody (originally played by Roy Scheider). Mike works at Sea World, where a baby Great White shark has accidentially been let into the park. Soon, the baby's vicious and extremely powerful

It's harmless but unsurprising.

So hokey and so incredibly incompetent in execution that it feels less wicked in its ignorance and more like a comic relief hillbilly, of the sort seen in this very movie's water-skiing interludes.

Since the wholly unimaginative series needed a gimmick at this point to stay afloat, the new but short-lived 3-D craze came along just in time.

Enough is too much...even in 3-D. The franchise sinks.

Put in a baking tray, gas mark 7, and enjoy a turkey.

The best sequel in the series, if you're ranking it on cheese factor, alone.

Audience Reviews for Jaws 3

Jaws was a good blockbuster, Jaws 2 was an Ok blockbuster. This is an excuse to cash in on the first one. The 3D in the cinema was as bad as this movie overall.

It's not terribly awful, but through about 80% of the film, we are mentally shrieking, "Why didn't they keep it in Amity!? And it would have looked a lot more organized if they had just done a little more work to keep the 3D effect!!!"
