7. Jaws as a 3-D comedy?

Hmmmmm…sounds a little fishy to me (okay, that’s the last pun). Some films should just never be remade, and Jaws is one of those. But that didn’t stop the rumor mill from spinning in 2010, when word of a remake of the classic 1975 film surfaced. The shocking part? That Jaws would be remade as a 3-D movie and rely much more on humor to lure the young people in. Man, that really would’ve sucked…

I mean, have you ever seen Jaws 3-D from 1983? It has a good cast, including Dennis Quaid, Lea Thompson, and Louis Gossett, Jr., but man that movie is painful to watch. I will say, however, that seeing that one as a kid kind of freaked me out because the killer shark somehow infiltrates SeaWorld, and as a 6-year-old, I totally bought into it. But now I’m much wiser (kind of) and I tried to watch it within the past couple of years. Wow, what a snoozer. And I think Jaws: The Revenge, released in 1987, might be the worst of the bunch. Take my advice: just stick with the original Jaws and you be good to go. Trust me.
