- really low budget 3D effects

I guess SeaWorld likes being portrayed in horror movies. This and Blackfish. It's insanely fucking stupid and it's an insult to the original JAWS, but that's what I love about it. It has fun with itself.

Paul: So writers, what should we do for the 3rd film in the series now?
Jim and Bob: I know! Let's put the shark in SeaWorld and have it attack tourists.
Paul: Get the hell out of this room.
Jim and Bob: *leaves*
Paul: We are so using that idea.

I actually really like this movie. It's actually very enjoyable. It's a fucking shark loose in a theme park. What more could you ask for? But this movie does get actual points for the music and the shark animatronic. Both are done extraordinarily well and there are some genuinely creepy moments with the shark.

Clearly a step down from the previous entries, but light and breezy. If you can, see it in 3D....good effects make up for a pedestrian script.

Yeah... not good. I don't dislike 'Jaws 3-D' as much as most evidently do, though.

Dennis Quaid and Bess Armstrong are actually pleasant in terms of the cast, none of those behind them are anything worth noting but are somewhat serviceable. I will say I didn't enjoy the plot, but only because it lacked something worth watching - it's poor, not terrible. More of the shark was wanted, but I would personally say that about the preceding two films as well.

Parts of this 1983 flick that are terrible, though, are the special effects, especially right at the end. There is also some poorly done green screen and it, clearly, has a dire cover. There's no doubting this being made was a cash grab, that's basically the only reason to ever go 3-D, but a cash grab doesn't necessarily mean it's an awful film; which this isn't, in my opinion. It's simply bad. The cover is hilariously awful though, granted.

This movie is crap and should not carry the name of the original Jaws. Stupid story, uninspired, lame. Forget it.

Where "Jaws 2" should have never been made, this one REALLY should not have. It is an okay film compared to many bad movies out there, but this tarnishes the IP.

Rating: 0.5/5 - 50% - Would Not Recommend

They really jumped the shark with this one

Stick with 1 and 2

So... Jaws 3. Not particularly good, this one. I mean...it might have been a bit better if the 3D effects didn't ruin just about any interesting shot, but even that wouldn't have helped much. There's so much to pick on when it comes to Jaws 3 that it's not even funny, but I won't bother you with that. I'll just give you this... It had potential with the great water park setting, but they screwed up royally on the execution, story, and just about everything else.

To be honest, I didn't remember it as this bad, but then again... I haven't really watched this in over 30 years. May have seen it with other eyes back then.

Not in 3D!

If *Jaws* was a great white, ***Jaws 3-D*** is a minnow. This one's kinda boring and because the effects for the shark (and everything else, can't forget that submarine) are fakey, it plays on the scares and the suspence. It's mostly just ridiculous instead of scary. I do like the Sea World Park setting and the inclusion of marine biologists. The dolphins steal the show when they're on-screen. Ok main characters. Technically not the worst third act ever but the effects are so terrible it blows away any credibility. It would work as B-movie material if there was more comedy thrown in but... not really.
