| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Oh, how the mighty have fallen |
| I loved this as a kid, in fact, it was my favorite of all the Jaws films. Most of us at a younger age could care less about story and characters, and in this case, want to see some great Shark horror action. The idea behind this film was genious in that sense. What better way to get lots of helpless people within easy grasp of a giant shark? Put them in the undersea kingdom at Sea World, inside underwater glass walkways. The scene scared me nearly to death as a kid, when the crowd is running down the walkway with the shark chasing them and breaking the glass soon after. Though nobody gets near the shark, but the people do get stuck in flooding waters for some time. Today, watching that scene is embarassing to think I used to like it, but we all have to grow up at some point.
Everything from the prior films is lost in Jaws 3. Everything except a few returning characters - Mike and Sean Brody, now young adults, with Mike an employee at Sea World and Sean visiting from Colorado. The actors have changed though, with Dennis Quaid playing Mike. But a fine actor such as Quaid can't save this film. The idea, is teriffic, putting a huge shark in the middle of a tourist trap, but the execution is not quite there. This is supposed to be Sea World in Florida, but it doesn't make much sense to me that it's connected to the ocean in the film. Oh well, one of those things we'll just have to accept. It takes some time (about 40 minutes) for the characters to realize there is a shark in the park, and one of the best parts of the film is that the shark they find is only a baby (though appearing menacing enough). The real shark (mommy!) eventually reveals her 35ft. self, which was a bit ridiculous if you ask me - just too big. The shark moved worse than ever - very mechanical and looked horrible in nearly every scene. And it even growls! Whoah, what kind of shark does that? Even the horror elements aren't very scary, though they easily could be (such as the forementined people in the underwater walkways), but all the visuals look pathetic. Though it was all originally intended for 3-d, we're forced to watch this minus that, resulting in the poor effects. One of the scariest parts of the film for me, or rather more intriguing, is when we get an "in-the-mouth" view of the shark attempting to swallow Philip Royce, almost felt as if the viewer is being swallowed him/herself. This is a fun movie overall, and even a guilty pleasure and late night popcorn flick - but it just can't be taken seriously. It's a great sequal in the sense to takes things to a completely new setting with Sea World, but everything else makes it sad that they even put the name Jaws on this. Acting - 3.5 Characters - 3 Horror - 2.5 Story - 3.5 Overall - 3 |
