Jaws 3-D (1983)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Bess Armstrong leads the cast in this largely forgettable film as a marine biologist in Florida where she trained dolphins, whales and possibly a great white shark. The film is set at Sea World in Florida with an undersea kingdom grand opening. When they capture a baby shark, they underestimate that the mother shark is in the park while people are in the water and then the underground tunnel. The film has its moments and is entertaining. The Brody brothers are older and have thought that the sharks were worlds away.

Now, I am a Jaws fan but this movie was okay i suppose. Couple things that threw me off a bit, I will still watch it again since i love jaws and i watch all 4 movies from time to time. 6/10!!! Decent performances! Shark was bigger but some CGI parts were weird.

Jaws 3-D is exactly what you would expect...another atrocious sequel barreling down a needless franchise. Truth be told, Jaws 2 didn't even need to be made, Jaws was fine the way it was. Try telling that to a bunch of money hungry, quick cash grabbing freaks who got away with highway robbery. Oh, the film got its money back, but what's left behind? A legacy? Highly doubtful. Not to mention the story line is laughably unbelievable. It's a little late to be watching this in 3D, but if you want to settle in to watch a bad 80's flick, this is for you.

I actually find this plot to be very unique. Neither of the other two JAWS sequels are so distinguishable. They take place in open water and the shark destroys some boats. This one is in a whole different environment... Sea World. People are saying this plot is ridiculous except it's really not because having a live great white shark in captivity is every aquarium's dream. Sure the shark bashes through steel mechanized gates but is that really such a far leap from pulling apart an entire pier or pulling down those yellow barrels like the shark did in the first movie? Unfortunately everything positive I could say about this movie stops there.While the look of the mechanical shark improves with each sequel this one did a terrible job at showing it properly. Also there's a scene where the baby great white is attacking a sunken ship to try getting to some people but it's clearly a guy ramming a toy shark into a miniature ship prop. The baby also hardly ever moves its tail for some reason so it looks like its just drifting in the water. The effects have their moments but they're mostly cheesy and laughable.The acting is uninspired and none of the characters are really memorable. There were times where I was like "oh yeah... THAT guy exists..."Every time I saw the shark fin rise to the surface and heard that iconic music playing it felt like the director was just saying "Oh! I get to make a JAWS movie! That means we need lots of these shots!" There was no tension to those shots like there was in JAWS and even a little in JAWS 2.It's bad but I've seen worse. The only reason I gave it a 4/10 instead of a 2/10 is because I didn't take the film very seriously so I got some good laughs out of it.
