I actually think sea world should be attacked and invaded by far more sharks. Also, is it just a rule that all the sharks have to explode at the end?

Not as bad as expected. Not good, but not bad either... except for the "3-D" effects.

It’s probably been close to 14-15 years since I last watched Jaws 3, the last memory I have watching this was actually having a argument with a friend who was living in a house my nan was renting to his family at the time about who’s house it actually was and therefore who got to pick what we watched, regardless we got to Jaws 3, and as a child I actually really enjoyed it alongside the first 2, now at 21… it’s not great is it,
I mean the story itself is like ok, a bit basic and a nothing plot, really just a huge advert for SeaWorld but it’s everything else that drags it down, lets address the obvious elephant in the room, the movie looks like shit, they probably didn’t account for it aging as poorly as it did when filming for 3-D but when it isn’t laughably bad looking (please the final 10 minutes of this film have us fucking rolling on the floor laughing out loud) or you can point out and laugh at the grainy outlines, it’s just a blurry horror show, almost like you are opening your eyes underwater, and the amount of stock images used here must set a world record, the dolphins jumping at the end spring to mind, the shark is the most animatronic looking it’s ever been and when it isn’t moving weird it’s setting the pace for what follows in Revenge with its roaring and showing its teeth every 2 minutes (but we will get to Revenge), the acting is pretty terrible across the board, I enjoy Louis Gossestt Jr a lot in this movie, but Dennis Quaid famously said this movie had the highest coke budget he’s ever seen and I think it shows, the man is visably gurning on camera at points 😂,
It’s a shame really, because while I don’t think this movie would’ve ever been great, it’s a bit of fun, and with a bit more thought behind it it could’ve been passible and we could’ve had a fun sea world shark movie, but I think the writers forgot it was a Jaws movie, it feels more like a romance set inside of a massive advertisement for Sea World, the shark is a afterthought and it sadly looks like shit and not in the good way like 28 Days Later, really all I can praise this movie for is the horrific corpse of Shelby which has always stuck with me, and the amount of so bad it’s good moments It contains, seriously for how bad these last 2 Jaws movies are, they are also worth revisiting every now and then just because of how funny they are,
And if you don’t want to watch this movie, just watch the last 10-15 minutes, S/O to the man with the Let A Gargoyle Sit On Your Face T-Shirt, it really sets the tone for this movie
