Look if you’re going to make a shark movie at least get the kind of shark correct

The... a u d a c i t y ... of this movie. Objectively very poor in almost every respect. The acting, the editing, the cinematography, the stolen Star Wars music, the stolen shark footage, just the most blatant low budget Jaws ripoff of all of them. And it dares… dares to call itself Jaws 5?!?

I think that if you watched this in a group though you'd have a great time. It's entertainingly bad. It's 'you can't help but smile' bad. It's 'laughing despite yourself' bad. If that's your thing then happy days because Cruel Jaws is the movie for you.
