I only really know three things about this movie: Michael Caine is in it, there's a plot point that the shark follows them from New England to the Bahamas that is completely unexplained (the novelization tried explaining it as the result of a voodoo curse, which makes it even more nonsensical), and the shark roars at one point.

Already, the movie is filmed as though the shark is stalking this small town specifically. Solid camerawork, but an odd choice.

It seems so weird to set this movie at Christmas. At least in summer, whether it's Amity or SeaWorld, there's the justification that there are people in the water to attract the shark's attention, when that's definitely not the case here.

The implication that the shark laid a trap for the younger Brody brother is a bizarre one, and it feels like such an anti-climactic way to kill off one of the main characters of this franchise. (Or at least one who's been in all three movies so far)

Martin Brody dying off screen is a classic case of a sequel writing out a character whose actor couldn't come back or was out of their price range, but at least that makes sense - he was a nervous wreck when he was working (after his shark encounter, at least) and an alcoholic when he wasn't working.

Sean's fiancee just gets forgotten about, I guess.

Judith Barsi is great in this.

Her character being compared to Princess Di is so much worse in hindsight.

We interrupt this shark movie for Michael Brody spying on his mother as she starts a new relationship.

Ellen Brody now has a psychic connection (?) with a shark. (Or her sons?)

Michael Brody really should mention that he's been involved in three separate shark attacks so he's justifiable nervous about them.

And now we have sudden marital strife. (Also, Judith Barsi hasn't appeared in the movie in a while)

"I've always wanted to make love to an angry welder." Such a bizarre line.

Now Ellen's taking the fight to the shark, and this time, it's personal. (Also, she presumably has no idea how to find a shark)

"How'd you [escape from a shark attack in the middle of a sinking plane]?"

"It wasn't easy, believe me."

Naturally, that's all the explanation that we're going to get.

Now Ellen is having flashbacks to at least one event that she couldn't have possibly seen.

Why the fuck does the shark explode?!

Jake surviving is several different kinds of bullshit. I can't complain too much, since his death would have been pointless otherwise, but that shark was chewing on his entire torso.

Jaws 3D was fun in a bad way, but this one alternated between baffling and boring.
