Dumb beyond belief, hollow, bloody and nonsensical, it's Universal Studios' vanity movie, a way of providing employment yet again for its Great White icon.
Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Everything in Jaws the Revenge is utterly expectable, which isn't a bright idea for a film relying on suspense and tension.
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer

Let`s put it this way: When you see and hear the nasal Lorraine Gary on screen you want the shark to eat her.

A lot of the time, the people in this picture just stand around looking very sad, as if remembering happier days. Watching this sorry film, you know how they must feel.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
