The family of widow Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gary) has long been plagued by shark attacks, and this unfortunate association continues when her son is the victim of a massive great white. In mourning, Ellen goes to visit her other son, Michael (Lance Guest), in the Bahamas, where she meets the charming Hoagie Newcombe (Michael Caine). As Ellen and Hoagie begin a relationship, a huge shark appears off the coast of the island, and Ellen's trouble with the great whites begins again.

Critics Consensus

Illogical, tension-free, and filled with cut-rate special effects, Jaws: The Revenge is a sorry chapter in a once-proud franchise.

'Jaws: The Revenge' bears the marks of its rushed production, from the seemingly first-draft screenplay to its sloppy execution to the slender running time (under 90 minutes without credits) to the generally cheap look and feel.

Jaws is looking a bit long in the tooth these days.

Dumb beyond belief, hollow, bloody and nonsensical, it's Universal Studios' vanity movie, a way of providing employment yet again for its Great White icon.

A great idea at the beginning, but now it's time to cut bait.

Jaws never needed a sequel, and with diminishing returns with each film, it’s easy to see why. The true revenge Jaws got wasn’t on the Brody family, but on moviegoers.

We should all be thankful for Jaws: The Revenge killing off this series once and for all; it’s the rare blockbuster franchise that has never been revived after its initial run. That gratitude should not extend to actually watching it, however.

This is debatably the worst movie ever made! It was like the writers and producers looked at Jaws 3D and thought, "Can we possibly do any worse than that? We have to try!" Seriously, it is like this movie was bad on purpose! There is simply NO WAY sentient human beings could possibly make something this atrocious unless they were doing so deliberately! Unless you have severe brain damage, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE to like this movie! If I could give this movie 0 stars, I WOULD!!! In fact, this movie is SO BAD, I think it should owe ME some stars for having to watch it! Utterly terrible! 0/10

We are reaching levels previously unforeseen or dreamed of for "why are you guys going into the water" in this for the Brody family.

I don't even want to give it a one star! I guess the one star can count for girl getting chomped on the banana raft and that's it! Terrible plot, terrible acting, the robot shark is a robot shark. I know it's in the top ten worst movies but not sure what number. It's a waste of your lifetime watching

Já tinha ouvido falar da "fama" do filme e assisti sem muitas expectativas e me surpreendi. O filme é muito bom e bem melhor que seu antecessor.
