 Where to begin> December 25, 2008
Kenneth G. Lehman
Why a movie like Jaws needed a sequel at all is something that I will never understand. The first one was simply a masterpiece, a work of art that was brought to audiences due to talent and hard work. The most memorable part of the movie was the section where you see the three guys go out into the ocean to kill the shark. Now how would they outdo that?
Then came Jaws II, which was not really horrible but it was a movie that really didn't need to be made. THEN here comes the kicker... Jaws III. Basically, a killer shark gets into Sea World and, you guessed it, all hell breaks loose. The shark's baby ends up getting killed, which doesn't help matters any.
So what's your point, you ask? Well, there's quite a bit of bad stuff in this. The type of main characters that are used are so cliche. There's the rough and hard-headed "Sea World" architect and there's the smart/attractive biology girlfriend. The movie supposedly uses some "3D effects" but all I saw was some rather crappy stuff that may or may not have been 3D. One example is the shark in some scenes. The shark looked god awful. Watch the part near the end where the shark hits the control room. You'll get my point. Also, the feeling that was in the first one was missing. You know what I'm talking about, that feeling of terror of the water that seemed to have been part of the first movie. Jaws 3 was just not scary at all. A shark attacking Sea World?! Come on! That's just as bad as Jason Vorhees attacking Manhatten!
The only scene that I thought was good, and is why I gave this movie an extra star, is where the dude gets sucked into the shark's mouth. I have to admit, that was pretty funny(it also looked like he wasn't having a good time in there!).
I ask you guys not to bother with this movie. There's nothing in Jaws 3 that will keep you coming back for it.

I loveeee the Jaws movies but this one was terrible. It just didn't fit in with the rest of them. Kind of like how Halloween 3 doesn't fit in with the rest of the Halloweens.
Not as good as the first two, but fun still November 19, 2008
Joel Stone (Essex Fells, New Jersey USA)
Good but still horrible compared the first two, Jaws 3d is a fun, violent, and often funny film that still bares it's razor sharp teeth.

Acute Observer (Jersey Shore)
The film begins underwater. A large fish is bitten in half. What did it? A group of water skiers practice acrobatics, then something happens. The "Sea World" theme park is opening. Its lagoon has an opening to the sea. Why are the dolphins upset? A man goes into the water after dusk. Will he have an accident? [We know what will happen but don't know when.] Somebody doesn't show up for work. Why are the dolphins acting strangely? [Pliny wrote a story about a dolphin that rescued a man at sea.] Does show business dictate the solution to a problem?
Is night time the right time to go shark hunting? Can a fish be used as an attraction? What if a dead body shocks the customers? Does the manager remind you of Dilbert's world? Has Murphy's Law been repealed? [No.] Will the mother of all sharks sneak into the lagoon? Will this provide a new thrill for paying customers? Will they appreciate being part of a news event? What did you do on your vacation? Would you pay to visit this theme park?
Did you appreciate the speech by the spokesperson? Was this story as good as the earlier versions? [No. The earlier versions were livelier and scarier.] Every film needs a happy ending to be successful. Were you pleased by this ending?

Here is a perfect example of griding a story into the dirt. The acting and story line are so bad in this version, you'll wonder if this movie was really a cult classic in the making.
