TOMATOMETER®

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

Video Review

Jeffrey Lyons

In the considerable wake of the superb original Jaws adventure, one dreadful concoction after another has come our way. Jaws The Revenge (actually Jaws IV) is about as inane as they get.

Located a million light-leagues away from the elegant terror of Spielbergs 1975 classic, this fourth entry turns the shark into a standard-issue 1980s slasher villain.

Jaws: The Revenge (1987) has that amazing Percy Rodrigues-narrated trailer ("This time ... it's personal") and a sadly excised voodoo subplot, but it's also an attempt to give Lorraine Gary something to do after 12 years and too many folk lost.

...an entirely misbegotten capper to a seriously erratic series.

At least, the onslaughts are a bit bloodier than before, and this 1987 production doesn't resort to unsophisticated computer graphics.
