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.

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.

For the most part, 'Jaws Returns ' works fairly well, and there are some good jolts and action sequences, but at the same time there's nothing here that's particularly fresh.

The acting is not very memorable since basically all those who can act are gone before the end of the first 15 minutes.

This movie should be awful, but actually it´s entertaining, well-paced, and has some thrills.

7 of 10 stars.

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.

A pretty solid piece of entertainment, without a cgi shark but real live footage, really great low budget movie.

If you guys are looking for a fun, suspenseful film like the original, this ones for you

Rating: 8/10.

The acting is alright, the scenes with the shark are really well done, a fun popcorn flick.

The shark looks more realistic and if you can hang in there, you'll be rewarded with some good escapist entertainment, the gathering of all the fishermans going to sea is great also.

7 of 10 stars for Jaws Returns.

For a low budget movie like this, the build up is good, the shark attacks and devours everyone on this movie, the attacks are really well done, it almost felt real.

The cast made a fantastic job and were credible.

The locations are wonderful, the underwater cinematography is stunning.

A pure fun Summer monster movie.

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.

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.

Another great white shark claims the shores of a beach from a town, so the chief of police, a shark hunter and a boy go to hunt it.

The special effects are modest but effective when they have to be.

But it's a good production of its time and a good sequel.

Overall its ok.

I just watched it.

This movie followed the same formula as the first one.

The story begins in a town where two divers go to explore underwater caverns, and they are eaten by Jaws, soon he begins is attack on the beaches killing everyone, so deputy Tom calls the chief of police to send support, the chief hires a hunter to kill the shark, and at sea the horror begins.

It helps give the fans of the original, characters they can get behind, to add more to the story.

As for horror elements though, the scares are still there to some degree, the camerawork is spot on to the original.

So it´s not easy to make a sequel like this and i´m giving this one an 8.

Finally i saw this movie, good cast, good story, Jaws returns in a great way.

A great movie! Tense and brutal. Great cinematography and score.

Definitely worth the watch!

For a short movie, it´s really great, i thought this was going to be some CGI fest crap, with a crappy shark swimming and killing everyone like that one from syfy with two heads and four heads, but no, this is a really well done movie, with skilled actors that make a believable presence within their characters, to make us fans, believe that this shark could kill us and we don´t even see him coming.

This movie is very intense, and i can´t wait to see it again.

10 out of 10.

Well, this short movie was a surprise.

Once again the team that brought us The Thing Returns did it again!

The acting could have been a bit better on this one, but the potential is there nonetheless.

Constantino and his team brought Jaws to the portuguese shores and it was amazing, and we also get to see Shawn C. Philips making an appearence!

Once again I say haters gonna hate just out of spite, but these kind of productions should be supported because they take the portuguese (and american) banner out into the world!

Congrats to all that made this one a reality!

Watch this one, you are not going to regret it.

This movie is a dark, scary, and gripping thriller, when i saw the news on dread central that this was going, to hit the sea, and then i saw the trailers, and tought, this is actually good, they didn´t make a cgi shark, they deliver the goods, and show us a real great white.

This is what i´m talking about, the real deal folks.

It is a worthy sequel and certainly is better than the likes of Boa and Anaconda.

What more can you ask of a short movie like this ?

It´s a brilliant movie all the way, everything that we want and expect in a fan film is here, loved the real footage of the shark, and for me this is what made the movie look so real.

It has some new surprises and nods to the classic lines from the original.

There's plenty of fan service here, so it´s 9 out of 10.

Jaws Returns is a rare true gem, made by director Rui Constantino, that here show us is incredible talent for storytelling, this hommage has everything a jaws fan (like me) could ever wanted.

It´s great, and a good r-rated movie, and the final hunt of the great white, makes it for the ages.

Instead of a crappy cgi shark, we get to see, real live footage of the shark attacks, and that for me hits the spot.

10/10.
