what can i say about jaws, first it's one of the first films i've ever seen and it scared me silly! wat else do i think of it? it's one of the greatest films ever made!!!!!! just the genius of having you use your imagination, to the great score, to the awsome death scenes! there is too much to say. then they made Jaws 2, spillberg was unhappy with idea, and he didn't reply when the studio asked him to direct! jaws 2 is my second fav, the first will always be the best, but this one had enough for satisfaction. 3 and 4 i don't want to talk about this second, just that i think 3 is the worst jaws film. |

Can you explain why you put Jaws the Revenge higher then Jaws 3? Nothing wrong with that, I agree as well, I'm just curious to know why. |

Sure, I was expecting someone to ask me. Anyway, I like Jaws: The Revenge more because of the characters (The ones from Jaws 3 were alright but the ones from JTR had IMO more development and were more likeable), The Musical score (Both films had good music, but JTR score is more darker and mixes up the 80's with the original Jaws theme well, here's a good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gps4rG0JiPs&feature=related), Special effects (Both of them had many flaws but Jaws 3 had more flaws IMO, thanks to it's usage of blue screen effects and Spoiler: click to toggle ) and the pacing (Jaws 3 moved far too slow and got a little boring IMO). There are three things that Jaws 3 did better at IMO - It's plot, Shark animatronic(s) (Had more body movements then the one(s) in The Revenge) and ending (Just slightly better). |

Over the fall I watche all four films in four consecutive days and must say I slightly agree with your list. I still find Jaws 3(D) the better film over Jaws the Revenge. For me I like Jaws 3(D) more because well the shark looked better and Jaws the Revenge was just so nonsensical. |

I'm a HUGE fan of the first Jaws movie but the biggest news of that article is that Jaws 3D will be coming out in 3D

Hmm I wonder when we'll get the sequels still excellent news. I'm surprised that they didn't do a boxset featuring the other three films. |
