Customer Reviews of Jaws 3

However, the movie's biggest problem is the editing, which is really quite bad for a big-budget film with a rather large cast and crew. I'm not sure if it's Joe Alves' fault or if it's the editor who's to blame, but the movie features a lot of goofy transitions and never gains any momentum.

It's also very slow-moving, and it probably has to do with the setting itself. Part of what made the first two Jaws effective was the wide ocean setting, it's a scary expanse and the fact that the shark could be anywhere was truly frightening. But in Jaws 3, the shark is confined in a very small space (when compared to the ocean) and it also swims slower than the people it's chasing after, killing any chance of thrills.

There is one chilling scene, which is also a bit unintentionally funny. When one guy gets stuck in the shark's mouth, he gets gummed to death. Yeah, the thought of it is goofy, but actually seeing it happen and considering how torturous it is, it's a bit scary.

The movie also stars Dennis Quaid and Lea Thompson in early roles, proving that any young actor can survive a critically trashed movie if they have the talent for it. That probably explains why I've never seen Bess Armstrong in another movie.

Should have included a Field Seqential 3-D version!
Not that many people are aware of the Field Sequential 3-D.
This is a 3-D TV system that uses special shutter glasses that can be purchased here through Amazon in a set that includes 3 DVD's using this process. This system Is the only way to view a 3-D film effectively on TV to date. The result is about 90% close to the effect you will see in a theatre showing.. like IMAX and Disney and Universal.
These glasses are made of sturdy plastic and clear not these cardboard red and blue pieces of garbage, so you can view the film without constricted to seeing red and blue colors and with this system you will see more actual 3-D depth with the films true colors.. It's really amazing!
For some add reason the big studios haven't adapted to include a separate version of a 3-D title in this great format.
Films like:
"House of Wax","Kiss Me Kate","Friday the 13th Part 3", "Robot Monster, "Cat Woman on the Moon", "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and "Jaws 3" are all now in 2-D DVD, but were originally shown in 3-D and could have been included using the Field Seqential 3-D system on the same disc with the 2-D version.
In Japan in the late 80's there were a few 3-D titles released using Field Sequential and can be found on e-bay converted to DVD and VHS.
Why aren't the studios producing these now!
I boycott any film DVD release that was originally intended to be seen in 3-D that's only presented in a 2-D version or anaglyph (Red and Blue Glasses).

Especially this terrible movie should have included 3-D!
The studios should really be awaken to this great 3-D system.

Not bad for a 3rd sequel
I saw this movie yesterday and it is really good. Part of it was 3D and part of it wasn't. Some of it scared me so much I left the room!! Great film, if you think about it. For my rating, the fourth Jaws was good. Keep shopping!!!!
