Jaws 4, People 0
18 July 1999
Mario Van Peebles said it best when, near the end of this movie, he said, "I'm gonna give dat shark a meal he never forget!"

Ah, yes... a bad actor (in a bad film with an even worse script) IS a meal worthy of severe indigestion. I popped Tums like popcorn during the entire viewing time.

I cannot recall the last time I actually heard a shark "roar", as does the one in this poor-man's Moby Dick. I knew that I'd heard that roar someone else, and my wife kindly pointed out that it sounded just like Spot, the Munsters' fire-breathing pet dragon who lived under the stairs. Moreover, the shark in "Jaws: The Revenge" performed such amazing aquatic feats that certainly it must have been trying out for the Olympic synchronized swimming team.

If it's terror and vengeance on the high seas you're thirsting for, take my advice: bypass this last installation in the Jaws saga and curl up with a reliable volume of Melville instead.
