Movies Jaws 4: The Revenge: A True Retrospective

[Adamant]

Man I keep forgetting about that Hank Searls book, I've been meaning to grab a copy for years but never have. I'm gonna go dig one out

I do like the second movie as well though, but I can watch Roy Scheider in anything so it's always going to appeal to me. Plus I love B level monster movies in general from the 70s and 80s, so it's win win

I do get that it's kind of a non-event though, it aspires to but doesn't reach the greatness of the first one, and it doesn't have the laughs and absurdness of the last two. But it's still got Roy Scheider so that will do for me

The fact that 2 looks and feels exactly like the first one is a major plus. It's just the story isn't nearly as compelling or interesting. Roy is great as always, but the shark parts just aren't that interesting and the teens are pretty bland too.
