Jaws 2/Jaws 3/Jaws: The Revenge [DVD]

What do you say about 3 sequels to just about one of the best thrillers ever made. Well "JAWS 11" makes a pretty good attempt to come up to the standard of the original. Benefitting from Scheider's performence and Lorraine Gary as his wife, with a decent plot and a good dose of suspense this is probably the best in this package. "JAWS 111" suffers from a lack of stars and a plot that does tend to drag and strain credulity (Also the quality of the transfer is not quite up to the excelent standard of the other two) "JAWS THE REVENGE" I can't help it - I love this. Lorraine Gary returnes this time with Michael Caine who delivers one of his usual casual relaxed performences and almost steals the film. The shark is good and while the plot is absolutely bonkers, it is all good fun.

A classic I love to watch

The three Jaws sequals. Jaws 2 is a well-made and entertaining film. Amity is once again threatened by the presence of a large Great White, and once more Brody finds himself a lone voice of sanity in a community who don't want to know. I'd put this film on a par with the original. The characters are as good as before, Chief Brody is now more of a tortured soul and makes a sympathetic hero. The shark, with its burnt face, looks effectively horrific and there are some great scenes of suspence. Jaws 3. Hmm. You know what to expect from this film when you see that fish's head being bitten off and then looking at the viewer with its mouth opening and closing in unintentionally comic fashion. A baby shark is captured in Sea World, a cross between an underwater theme park and Butlins, and before long its massive parent is forcing its way into the park. On the staff are Chief Brody's two sons (though they might as well be Ren & Stimpy for what it has to do with the plot, and considering the trauma they suffered as children involving sharks they seem very keen to dive back into the water). This film probably looked good as a script. If only it had more money spent on it I think it could have been great. Instead we are treated to a hilariously mechanical-looking shark and effects which just inspire humour rather than horror. The 3-D is kind of limp and feels as though it was tacked on as a selling point. Jaws:The Revenge. The cheddar feast continues. Ladies ange gentlemen, welcome to Jaws - The Revenge. See the amazing flying, roaring, exploding shark, the world's first hit-man with fins who can turn the water red without even killing anyone. Watch it swim across the sea in a matter of hours. Watch it track down the relatives of someone who killed one of its brethren. See the amazing Ellen Brody, who by telepathic means can remember things she never witnessed. Watch the death-defying Jake as he returns from the dead. Or something like that. The real tragedy is that there are scenes in this film which show how good it could have been if it hadn't been bogged down with an utterly daft storyline and a load of laughably fake accents. Not to mention some cheap-looking effects. What happened to the profits from the earlier films? The first ten minutes are great. The camera-work in the title sequence looks effectively sinister and its accompanied by some good music. The younger Brody brother being torn limb from limb while the unsuspecting community sings Christmas carols is a genuine horror moment, as is the scene where a woman is pulled from a banana boat and crushed to death in front of several screaming little girls. Michael Caine does his best to inject warmth and humour into the storyline, but it's all just a might-have-been. One classic film, two dodgy films which are nevertheless good for a laugh. There is a wealth of extras involving the making of Jaws 2, meaning this box-set is well worth it if you're a fan of these kinds of movies.

Brilliant jaws set fantastic value thanks amazon.

A remembering session for me - a scary experience for my 16-year-old son lol

I bought this as my teenage daughter had just seen Jaws on TV (which is a great film). I remembered seeing most of them years ago. Jaws 2 is a pretty good followup, however, I wouldnt even bother EVER watching 3 and 4 ever again LOL My daughter enjoyed 2 and a little liked 3 (but what does she know haha) ;) As I was really only interested in Jaws 2, it was a good buy, (and I couldnt find a combined Jaws 1 and 2 dvd at the time) but I wont be playing the other 2 films again... ever

my second favourite tilm jaws 1 being the best film that ever came out

Item as described came on time thanks Amazon
