The worst of the Jaws series, undeniably


It is a toss up for some as to whether Jaws 4 was as bad, but like most movie series, the even numbered ones are the weakest. There are logical reasons why this happens, but it's no excuse.

This one was so bad it wasn't even laughable. People actually groaned in theaters and looked at watches, fell asleep, rolled eyes. This was the very worst sequel in movie history.

It was mostly the half hearted attempts at humor, and the poor depiction of teenagers, especially at the time. Not to mention the complete Neo Nazi seventies and eighties look it had, a look that unfortunately has gone retro today with brainwashed Nazis who refuse to admit they're Nazis. Maybe they're too stupid to know it. But this is what Hitler and his Aryan crew envisioned and harped on, blond women being the only survivors to mother blond men to die in war and blond women to be mothers. At the time, they were underdogs, and didn't know what would come of it.

Hitler had his worshipers among many in the seventies and eighties, including Leone, Eastwood, and Coppola, and today there are many who worship them, not knowing they are worshiping Hitler, or simply denying it.

That's just one problem with the movie. The second is the poor writing. The third is the fact that no one edited or directed the poor writing out of the movie.

Of course it should be 1/10 or 2/10 from generous ratings, but we have neo Nazis today who keep this above the 5/10 mark, and that's sad, that there are so many, and that they deny what it is.



But if ye do doubt your courage, go no further, for Death awaits you with nasty pointy teeth!

This is my least favorite, too. Like I've said before, I can't even say why I can't watch it. It's like trying to describe why you hate a certain food that everyone else loves. It simply leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Part 4 is unwatchable and part 3 is like a straight to video movie.
You too have very bad taste.

In addition to bad tastes, you are nuts. Neo Nazis? Hitler?

This may be the oddest post I've ever read on IMDB. Nazi's?! What are you talking about?


Patroni: She is doing it, the stewardess is flying the plane!

Murdoch: Climb, baby, climb!

This one was clearly above both part 3 and 4

To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock

I like all the Jaws but part 3 is the weakest, in my opinion..

Jaws 2 is good.

reply

I watch all of them, Jaws is an absolute CLASSIC, Jaws 2 is a decent film, the other 2 have their moments. I actually think 2 has alot going for it and gets ragged on more than it deserves. The story isn't a bad one, just didn't have Spielberg and Milius etc... 3+4 flipped the script.

It's the only sequel that remotely comes close to, or is worthy of Jaws.
