What critics compared Jaws: The Revenge to
Speaking of sharks, the opening scene plays like “Jaws: The Revenge” (1987) where the over-sized shark laughably jumped out of the water.
The Great White stars of the Jawsiad quickly ceased to resemble any beasts found in nature — they were bringing down helicopters as early as 1978's Jaws 2. But even Jaws: The Revenge ("This time, it's personal") looks like Gorillas in the Mist compared to the 21st century made-for-Syfy-shark-portmanteau plague, which asserts that camp is a thing you can engineer the way the scientists in 1999's Deep Blue Sea engineered sharks with ape-level intelligence.
It takes both talent and intelligence to remain a Hollywood icon into your 70's, but it's hard not to wonder if Dirty Grandpa isn't De Niro's Jaws 4, the latter being a film that star Michael Caine acknowledged as being dreadful yet also a film that he's quick to acknowledge bought him a very nice house.
Kaulder now lives in New York, and is handled/aided by the 36th member of a line of priests (Michael Caine, because the house that Jaws: The Revenge built must have needed a guest wing) in hunting and incarcerating witches in the surrounding area.

Nor can the somewhat surprising appearance of Michael Caine, though this is the man who appeared in "Jaws: The Revenge," so slumming is nothing new for him.
Bourne, if youeTMve seen the previous films and/or read Robert LudlumeTMs books on which the series is based, is still trying to figure out his true identity only, following the unfortunate elimination of his girlfriend, "this time... iteTMs personal" (to quote from "Jaws: The Revenge").
1978’s Jaws 2 is a mediocre rehash; Jaws 3D and Jaws: The Revenge are astonishingly bad.
