The first “Jaws” film was suspenseful and exciting but then came the sequel. You would think the franchise would have learned its lesson but “Jaws 3” just drags the series further into the realm of rubbish cinema.

In “Jaws 3”, the sons of Martin Brody from the first two movies Mike Brody (Dennis Quaid “Enemy Mine”, “The Parent Trap”) and Sean Brody (John Putch) are working at Sea World theme park when a baby shark appears. The beast is captured at first until it dies. Then Sea World is attacked by the mother of the baby shark. Now the visitors and the staff must fight back in order to escape this nightmare.

Not much can be said for the acting other than it is not very good. At least in the first two instalments, the actors were convincing. To be fair to the cast of this entry though, the characters don’t seem very compelling anyway so I guess you have to cut them a break. The shark this time looks really fake. I will happily praise the shark in the first film and even in the second one but here you’ll be laughing at it rather than squirming in your seat.

“Jaws 3” could have been a fun experience. It could have been intentionally silly but instead it’s unintentionally silly. Aside from the original “Jaws”, I’ve yet to see a shark movie that I like and this one didn’t give me any hopes of finding another good one. This is an unnecessary sequel to a sequel that was unnecessary so I didn’t expect all that much. At least “Jaws 3” is not quite as horrible as the next one, “Jaws: The Revenge”, as at least this movie did try to do something that at least made it not totally preposterous.
