If you have not seen the classic movie Jaws, then please do. However, I will recommend that you not see that movie followed by the fourth installment in the series, back-to-back. Unless you like to laugh a lot.
The original shark movie made a lot of people stand up and take notice of sharks. In particular, the white shark. One of the most refined hunting machines on the planet. A perfect villain.
The Brody family must eat, sleep, wear shark attractive scents. How one family can have such shark related tragedy is beyond comprehension. From 1975 to 1987, this one family seems to have been terrorized by sharks. And in this film, they seem to be singled out.
The mechanical shark is a real winner. The top half of the mechanical shark is out of the water, stationary, as it chomps one of its victims. There are other scenes with the mechanical shark that are side splitting too. If it was real life, and I would see a woman get taken off a raft by a great white shark, I would be in such a panic that I probably would not know what to do. But watching it on the screen, I was laughing up a storm.
Bottom line, the writers and producers should have been kicked in the head after Jaws 3-D was made. My guess is that someone lost a bet and it was for a vacation in the Bahamas.
Keep the mechanical shark. Next time make a film on the conchs.
I give this movie 1/2 out of 5 rope swings.
