When she learns that one of her sons (who had replaced his father as the town's sheriff) has also been attacked and killed by a great white shark, she decides to travel to the Bamahas where her other son, Michael, works as a marine biologist, she fears that the shark wants revenge for what her husband did to it in the first two films, and wants Michael to quit his job and stay away from the water before its too late.

Poorly directed by Joseph Sargent, who relies heavily on blood and fast editing to create tension since there certainly isn't any written into the script.

A ludicrous and laughable sequel that desecrates the name of a fantastic original.

Mild and predictable, the very things an adventure movie should never be.

A franchise sinks in this sequel's endless sea of incompetence.

Okay, I'm sold. It's the worst sequel ever made. Yes, even including Batman and Robin.

Spielberg should have sued for 'breach of earth-shattering stupidity'.

Significantly worse than the rest of the series, this film is one of the worst bell-flops in recent cinema.
