This is the one where the big rubber shark gets to attack an aircraft, but that's far from being the only silly thing about this preposterous fourth entry in the series. Michael Caine makes the most of the summer weather in the Bahamas (the setting for most of the film) and delivers a cheerfully irrelevant cameo. But Lorraine Gary, the only link — apart from the shark — with the fine original, is annoyingly neurotic, while the plot — this time the shark gets personal — is laughably inept.

Rated - 1 starsSo bad its good

Welshslider from Cwmbran [Highly rated reviewer] , 09/07/2007

Yes! This is one of those films that if you intend to sit down and take it serious then you are going to watch a bad bad film. Terrible script, the shark looks worse than ever and the acting is shameful (although the director surprisingly did a good job and there are some nice shots). If on the other hand you sit down with your friends while you have had a few too many and watch this you are in for a night of laughter. I mean a shark that is out for revenge!???

The tralier for this film says it all...'This time its personal'. You know you are on to a bad thing when the tag line is this cheesy.

So put this on your list if you are having a film night in with your friends and this will break the ice I guarantee it.

Imagine, being told you are going to make a film about a giant marauding shark, and then being shown the shark that is supposed to strike fear into the hearts of men, and it looks like something you could win at a fun fair.

Team that with Michael Caine waiting for the cheque to clear, some astounding leaps in narrative structure (it takes Ellen Brody 2 days to get the carribbean, the shark manages to swim from the coast of Maine to Barbados in a little under a day) and some truly truly atrocious shark effects and you've got the worst creature feature that a major studio ever threw money at.

This isn't worth it even for curiosity value....rent Jaws 2 instead, at least that had an idea in its head...

Rated - 5 starsGenius!!!

MrKageGreo from Cardiff [Highly rated reviewer] , 03/04/2007

Yes...this film is bad.......but laugh......I haven't laughed at some comedies this much.....I can only assume that it is in fact a sub genre of film that has yet to be classified. The Writter and Director have dupped everyone into thinking this is meant to be serious, when in fact it's a clear spoof.....a wild and crazy comedy parodying the Jaws franchise.....there is clear evidence of this......firstly, the shark Growls, secondly, the shark leaps out of the water (while growling) and eats a man....and finally, when Michale Caines character gets attacked by the shark, but manages to narrowly escape the jaws of a horrendous death he quips 'that things breathe stinks.' See.....a clear comedy. Watch it with a few mates and a load of booze and laugh your heads off.....like I said genius.

Rated - 3 starsNot as good as the original

A customer from Poole Dorset , 19/05/2005

The original Jaws film was by far the best. This fourth edition lacks any real surprise but is still watchable.
