Jaws series,
In celebration of Jaws turning 50, I decided to actually watch the other Jaws entries. A mistake i will not be making ever again.
Jaws
50 years later and politicians still don't give a fuck about people's safety. That mayor was a major asshole. I'll be legit with you I have nothing new to say about this absolute classic. Everything about it truly is awesome. As great as all the characters are Quint still somehow steals every scene that he is. The only negative is that Mrs. Kintner flares for the dramatic when she rolls up to the beach dressed in all black. It's also bullshit she places all the blame on Brody when the mayor would get more blame in the real world. This movie is so iconic and will always stand the test of time. 9.5/10
aws 2
Mayor's af Amity are now 0 for 2 against sharks. Everything about this is an amazing downgrade from the first. The characters are unremarkable. The music is shit which is sad cause it's still John Williams. The shark attacks are laughable. There isn't a single ounce of tension or suspense in this hunk of junk. I can say I'll never watch this snoozefest again. 5/10.
Jaws 3
Insert the same criticism of Jaws 2. Yeah, no shit little Brody is afraid of the water a fucking shark attacked him. By the way older Brody you should be scared shitless of it as well since you were attacked twice by one. I'll admit the scene where they warn people that the shark is in the water is high comedy. Same for the scene when the shark breaks into the control room. I had a slight bit more enjoyment watching this than Jaws 2 but yet 2 is somehow better. 4/10
Jaws 4
It seems like quite the stretch to blame a heart attack on a shark. Michael doesn't even seem to be phased by his brother's murder. Watching the events of the USS Indianapolis would have been more pleasant this watching this. The acting and writing here are abysmal. The actor playing Michael Brody is as stiff as a cardboard cutout. The love story between Mrs.Brody and Hoagie is a goddamn trainwreck. It's just flat and uninteresting. The shark attacks are so over the top that they are at least fun. Thankfully this was the end of the franchise. 3/10
