What to Know

Critics Consensus

A cheese-soaked ocean thriller with no evident reason to exist, Jaws 3 bellows forth with a plaintive yet ultimately unheeded cry to put this franchise out of viewers' misery.

Matt Singer ScreenCrush No movie with Dennis Quaid holding a basset hound's ears to keep them out of his water bowl while pouring himself some coffee can be all bad. Jaws 3-D comes pretty close. Rated: 3/10 Oct 14, 2018 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Surprisingly tepid. Dec 10, 2007 Full Review Derek Adams Time Out Put in a baking tray, gas mark 7, and enjoy a turkey. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Jaws 3 jumps the shark and makes a laughing stock of what was scary just once upon a time. Rated: 1/5 Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene It's got Louis Gossett Jr. and Dennis Quaid to add some respectability to the proceedings. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a predominantly ineffective followup... Rated: 2/4 Feb 27, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Xander W I Think It Is Just Like Deep Blue Sea 2 But Better But Still The Worst Jaws Movie In The Francshice Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review David C No la recomiendo los efectos son chafas la historia es mu lenta casi toda la pelea oscura y no se ve el Jaws Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Levon F I honestly don’t like this movie. The shark barely showed in this. Before I watched this, I heard about the idea that was in it. I honestly thought it the idea was good. But then when I watched it. I felt like I was watching 1 hour of people yapping. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review liam m Class film just don’t think about it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Eric V It's campy and the lines are hilarious, "Damn Fish". Louis Gosset's one liners had me crying. Then at the end he saves the girl in the command center but let's his nephew be a snack. Then we are supposed to be happy that both dolphins Cindy and Sandy survived with an emphatic Yaaaaaa! But people died. 😂 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Jack G Thankfully they stopped at this one, it’s quite bad Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
