Jaws 3 is worse than Jaws 4. Here’s why.
My main problem with Jaws 3 is that it turns a masterpiece of cinema into a cheap 3D slasher no better than Friday the 13th Part 3 and Amityville 3D. The effects are abysmal, the characters are forgettable, and the story is demonstrably boring. And why - why in the big G in the sky is it set in sea world. Is there any way this advertisement would work in any way possible?!?
Jaws 4 is bad, don’t get me wrong, but there are some great things about it too. The first 10 minutes - Sean’s death scene - is actually an amazing opening. Not as good as the opening of the first film, but I love the atmosphere, a genuinely great scare, the acting of Sean’s shock, and the contracting with the Carolers reminds me black Christmas. It’s incredibly well done, scary, and makes you think it’s going to be ok. I guess you could complain for a false sense of hope, but I still really like the opening. Also, I think the music is great, Lorraine Gary is great, the characters are so fucking bizzare I kind of love them, and - like the characters the plot is so stupid I love it. It’s my kind of so-bad-it’s-good. I can’t say the same with Jaws 3D. There are no redeeming factors with Jaws 3D.
