Movie Review: Jaws 3D

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

As you may know, my family lives and breathes Jaws. The first one that is. The following ones are just fun to watch and make fun of.

Until today, I have never seen the third movie in the series. Why? Because I've heard nothing but terrible things, it takes place at an amusement park, and it has nothing to do with the original story or characters.

I was wrong.

Up until today, I thought that the characters and story had nothing to do with the other movies but they do! The main character is actually Mike Brody... and Sean shows up too!

Turns out this movie is not that bad. Somethings were kind of lame, but I expected it. It was fun to watch.

Dennis Quaid is where the first problem is. I'm sorry, but I just don't see him as Mike Brody. Dennis Quaid is one of those actors with a very distinct voice and face and I don't think - given what the 3 other actors portraying Mike Brody look like - that he was the right choice. He just doesn't flow with the other actors. The guy portraying Sean was fine... he was not anyone famous and he looked like he could've been Sean.

The second problem with this movie is it's "3D." This is not 3D. This is an image that doesn't move, coming towards the screen. It was lame and cheap. And it all would've been way better if it just wasn't 3D. Like, I would like the movie more!

Otherwise the movie was pretty decent.

Retro Review: Jaws 2

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

I do not support the continuation of this series past the original, but this one was entertainment.

The story was typical. There's not much you can do when your antagonist is a shark. Obviously the story has to be in the ocean and the only thing it can really do to you is attack you. To progress the story from the original was aging the characters. It's amazing though that this movie was released about 4 years after the original and the characters seemed to have aged 10. Chief Brody looks much older along with his wife. Sean looks like he is maybe 5 years older, but acts like he's a single year old. And finally, Michael, who in the first movie looked maybe 11, now looked at least 18. They never say how much time has past.

With the HUGE amount of money they made with the first one, you'd think they'd upgrade the shark. At least make it's mouth close… No. The shark looks even more fake and disappointing. Yes, it's head gets a little more movement but that's the only thing is the 'GOOD' section of the shark.

The movie also lacks something. The first one had this realistic feel about it. It had instances that made it seem real whereas this one, in my opinion, was just made to be made and everything's as per script and routine. Typical sequel, just entertainment.
