Critic consensus:Illogical, tension-free, and filled with cut-rate special effects, Jaws 4 - The Revenge is a sorry chapter in a once-proud franchise.

Numbered reviews:1. This is the one where the big rubber shark gets to attack an aircraft, but that's far from being the only silly thing about this preposterous fourth entry in the series.
2. Beyond the ridiculous premise, there's nowhere for this story to go, and we don't get enough shark action to make up for it.
3. The fact that you have to suspend your intelligence to even get through 'Jaws - The Revenge doesn't help matters. Is a shark smart enough to follow a person from New York to the Bahamas?
4. Jaws the Revenge, the fourth in a series of monster shark epics, is dead in the water.
5. 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.
6. Sargent's enough of an action vet to grind out a watchable sequel, but too much of a TV hack to turn the arbitrary dramatics into anything but synthetic pulp.
7. Everything in Jaws the Revenge is utterly expectable, which isn't a bright idea for a film relying on suspense and tension.
8. Let`s put it this way: When you see and hear the nasal Lorraine Gary on screen you want the shark to eat her.
9. Jaws is looking a bit long in the tooth these days.
10. 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.


Critic consensus:Though enhanced by cramped, gritty camerawork, this unsettling look at violence and revenge lacks the provocative edge needed to give it a substantial kick.

Numbered reviews:1. The whole thing leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
2. In a swift 86 minutes, director Meadows and co-writer/star Considine give us a methodical, handsome, emotionally intelligent version of the revenge flick.
3. Startlingly powerful, slightly loopy take on the revenge flick . . . offers a wry authenticity that the too-stylish, tough guys and gals in Tarantino's wanna-be-epics of retribution can't exude.
4. Isn't a mess, but it's sure no competition for Winchester 73, Once Upon a Time in the West or even Kill Bill, films in which payback really is a bitch.

6. An original, complex, and utterly gruesome revenge parable...
7. Though Meadows makes a lot of it, he mucks it up before it's over.
8. Film plays as a quirky Brit riff on everything from U.S. slasher pics to revenge oaters but without Meadows' usual psychological complexity.
9. What's intriguing is that Meadows makes us identify with these small-time hoods, even as he's setting up their executions.
10. The film is further proof that revenge, even when served as a cold dish as this is, ends up being far too chewy for a satisfying movie meal


Critic consensus:Pocahontas means well, and has moments of startling beauty, but it's largely a bland, uninspired effort, with uneven plotting and an unfortunate lack of fun.

Numbered reviews:
1. As for the songs, they're guaranteed to keep your shoes glued to the floor
2. Both resplendent and restrained.
3. Adult viewers, spoiled by what has come before, may feel that this film, which relates the legendary romance between a chief's daughter and English adventurer John Smith in the New World, is more by-the-numbers than inspired.
4. Disney deserves praise for raising the ante on its ambitions in animation. Next time, though, a little less civics lesson and a little more heart.
5. Disney's 33rd animated feature is so good that it deserves to follow in the beautiful footsteps of Beauty and the Beast and earn an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.
6. True to the film's idealized spirit, directors Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg similarly fend off history.
7. Imagine a cult Disney cartoon, for this may be it.
8. An animated movie of incredible beauty.
9. Pocahontas is the best-looking of the modern Disney animated features, and one of the more thoughtful: It is about real issues, even if it treats them with naive idealism.
10. As long as Republicans are in power, the line "You think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you" will remain relevant.
