5. It Is Just Unforgivably Dull
Leave out the opening sequence in which Sean gets turned into a human dumpling, and it takes well over an hour for the shark to actually claim a victim. Its incessant stalking of Michael was good for one or two set points, but not the entirety of the film. The chatter is dull and drones on and on from the mouths of the lackluster characters, with nothing representing the inspired Indianapolis speech or the hilarious 'ringing the dinner bell' argument of the first film. Indeed, if anything here is testament to how badly this film compares to its source film, its the fact that Jaws pulled off long periods without action gracefully, whilst The Revenge does so with painful, sleep inducing boredom.
