Don't mess with MAMA
Jaws 3 DVD

Quite frankly I was disappointed with this movie, but I did not watch it in 3D so that might be part of my problem.

There are more skiers, oh, Yummy.

Even some bumper boats, Yum Yum.

Jaws 3 takes place at a water amusement park with under water glass tunnels,etc. In one shot you can see part of the Orange County, Florida logo on an ambulance so, I would presume it was shot in Orlando, Florida.

Recommended for kids and Jaws completists.

What happened to the 3-D?
I never understood why a DVD version of 3-D movies would be released without the 3-D. I mean, lets face it, this was always intended to be much more of a gimmick movie then it was about the continuing adventures of the Brody clan.

I would pick this up in a minute if it was released as (maybe) a "midnight movie" with a pair of glasses and maybe a bag of popcorn or something. For a studio to roll this out there naked and expect people to buy it is just crazy. The movie stinks; it's simply not good enough to stand up on its on merit. Part of the reason people went to the theaters to see this was to catch it in 3-D; to take that away just doesn't make any sense. It was never meant to be without it.

Jaws 3 is the Plan Nine from Outer Space of shark movies !!!
Hands down, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and boy I've seen hundreds of movies. If you thought things went down hill from the nail biting original thriller "Jaws" to the ridiculous teen flick "Jaws 2", then "Jaws 3" plumbs new depths of abysmal film making. Everything about this film is terrible....banal dialogue, overacting by the principal cast, totally absurd & moronic plot and utterly third rate special effects. Dennis Quaid, Louis Gossett Jr., & Lea Thompson should all strike this movie from their resume's as they all contribute shocking performances !

Director Joe Alves ( the production designer for the first two "Jaws" movies ) made his directorial debut with this film, and he hasn't directed another film since...and based on this turkey, I wouldn't put him behind another camera either. The movie lacks any hint of suspense and is nothing more than a stupid 90 minute advertisement for Sea World and flipping dolphins and leaping killer whales. The paper thin plot sees the sons of Amity police chief , Martin Brody, pick up jobs at Florida's Sea World ( why couldn't they get jobs as rangers in the Rocky Mountains....no sharks up there ! ), where once again the Brody clan attracts giant great white sharks like flies to an outdoor picnic !

Pandemonium breaks loose in the acquatic park as a 35 foot great white starts its own show for the tourists by eating the water ski team, shattering undersea walkways imprisoning the tourists, eating more stupid scuba divers and then plowing through a glass wall into the main control room, and nearly makes a meal of Quaid & Armstrong. The special effects with the shark breaking into the control room have to be seen to be believed.....they are so shabbily done it's just a joke. Want to know how bad the shark looks in this movie ?? As a comparison watch a Ray Harryhausen creature film from the early 1960's like "Jason and the Argonauts" or "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad".....and then watch "Jaws 3". Ray was making more lifelike and believable monsters two decades before the rubber sharks in this monster dud. Quite easily "Jaws 3" ranks as one of the worst sequels ever made. Only watchable by masochists and silly children.
