Cruel Jaws (1995) - Just watch Jaws

Um, yeah, where to begin with this one - okay, simply... just watch 'Jaws.' Many films rip  off movies that are far better than them, but at least they try and make a few little tweaks that attempt to stand apart from their originals.  Not here.  Not really.

There's a shake.  It's terrorizing a beach.  One human believes this and tries to get the local authorities to do the right thing and close the water area to prevent more deaths.  Oh, I guess there is one different - 'Jaws' was a great white shark.  Here we have a tiger shark.  That's about it.

If it was just a blatant, pointless rip-off that would be one thing.  Sadly, it's also a stupid, blatant, pointless rip-off as well.  The shark appears completely bulletproof.  I lost count of the amount of times humans try and shoot at it at point blank range, only for it not to take an ounce of damage.  I guess the humans could just be so stupid they miss?  That could certainly explain it.  But then if someone is so stupid that they can't hit a massive shark when up close then they deserve to end up down it's throat.

As I say... just watch 'Jaws' if you're looking for a monster movie with a shark in it.  And, is it just me, or does the first few bars of the 'Star Wars' theme keep popping up here and there?
