Egan080's Review and Opinion:
It is sad to say, but I bet that if Steven Spielberg had known that his 1975 Jaws would not only be a blockbuster but spin off three really crappy sequels, he probably would have said, "I think I will put a no bad sequels clause in my contract."
How bad is this movie? Well, if you know anything about sharks, you know that they're not very bright. They swim. They eat. They make little sharks. They swim some more.
What they can't do is what one great white shark does in Jaws 4, which is not exactly new but if you are going to be renting something at Netflix you might want to avoid anyways. And what this shark does is track down the family members of Martin Brody the police chief that killed the first shark in the Spielberg movie and...get revenge.
That Joseph Sargent allowed himself to helm this project is proof that people will do anything for a buck even if it makes them look bad, and this flick is bad to the core. It stars Lorraine Gary, the only cast member from Spielberg's movie to return, as Martin Brody's widow, and she got hired because her hubby ran the studio that released this movie. She doesn't have a good script to work from, so her acting sucks.
Ditto for Michael Caine and Mario Van Peebles, who are good actors but weren't too choosy about what scripts they picked. Caine plays Mrs Brody's new beau listlessly, and Van Peebles overdoes his Jamaican accent so badly that you're glad when he and Sopranos-Shark meet.
This movie is...well, bad. The effects are bad. The story sucks, and the logic of the movie is zilch.

Visual Aspects 16.67% |
The scenery is all right in some places, really bad in others, especially in the effects shots. |
|

|
|
Auditory Aspects 20.00% |
The screams were pretty awesome. Van Peebles' fake accent was bad. |
|
|
|
|
Cinematography (N/A) |
The basic cinema-whatever was ok...the underwater stuff sucked. The slo mo stuff was also silly. |

|
|
|
Plot/story 10.00% |
Uh. There was actually a plot here? This was so bad it makes Clone Wars look brilliant. |
|
|
|
|
Character (N/A) |
The characters were about as believable as a shark that can seek out a specific family in the ocean. Give me a break! |
|
|
|
|
Acting (N/A) |
The fake shark actually acted better than the human cast. |

General (N/A) |
Guys, if you want to impress your date with your DVD savvy, avoid renting this. You will not get any brownie points from any woman if you subject her |

Synopsis:
Several years after the events in Jaws, the water is not safe for the Brody family. Martin, the brave cop who killed the first shark, is thankfully dead, but one of his sons is eaten by a revenge-driven shark at Christmas.
Grief stricken, his mother Ellen goes on vacation to the Bahamas, hoping that she can escape from the pain of losing her son by hanging out with her other son and his wife...by the ocean. Trouble ensues when a shark follows them - from 1,000 miles away - even as Ellen starts digging Hoagie, a pilot who knows the islands. Will the shark eat everyone before the last reel, or will the Brody family prevail?
