Jaws Returns

Jaws is back in this tribute by director Rui Constantino, a portuguese filmmaker, that this year has also brought us a non official sequel of The Thing, this guy is a visionary and a master of editing, they used real footage from the shark to make this entire movie, and it´s great and a good R-Rated movie, and he pushes it to the limit on this one, good performances on all cast, we´ve got a special cameo by Shawn C. Phillips the guy from Ghost Shark and he also does a fantastic job as deputy Tom.

I´ll give it a 10 for the awesome effort they made here, to bring us the Jaws vibe.

Even though not as good as the first and it´s sequel it is still worth a watch and you won't be disappointed.

This film is a classic Jaws homage, I'm a fan of all four for the simple entertainment aspect.

I saw myself enjoying this return, because many years have passed since four, so i was eager to see this.

The action scenes were well done, and entertaining.

As a movie, and a monster movie, it is still an above average effort from a competent crew, but some characters are not particulary interesting like the hunter in the movie, with no motivation at all, didn´t like his character, he just sits there waiting for the shark to come, well he has no emotions, annoying at times.

The apprentice lack some skills and i didn´t like him either.

The deputy was ok, and the leader of the fisherman did a good performance, liked this guy.

The chief did an ok job, and the guy from the helicopter too.

Constantino and his crew somehow, made an entertaining decent movie, out of a film series that was in troubled waters since 1987.

6.2/10.

The sumer is on, and people go to beach, meanwhile two divers go in to some underwater caves, really deep, only to encounter death, because the cave is where Jaws lives, is his home.

So Jaws gets out and starts to hunt some surfers, the movie is very gory, full of blood in the water.

This shark isn´t fake, it´s a real shark, the scene with the cage is full of tension.

Most of the people in this movie die.

THE GOOD. It tells a good story. It takes its time and doesn't rush into things.

THE BAD. The hunter isn´t great, he should have been more energetic, than he was, and the apprentice lacks some character development, if these were better, my score would have been better.

But all in all, as a low budget i´ll give it 7 out of 10.

Since 1987, that we don´t see another Jaws in the water, so i was reluctant to see what they come up with this tribute.

The shark scenes are reasonably effective, especially when we see nothing but a dorsal fin skimming through the surf, and the presence of his silhouette in the water, it´s really scary.

Only two characters are generic and unimpressive in this movie, the rest of the cast does a great job at it.

Still worthy for a fright night, I rate this film 7/10.
