Reminds me of the old Russian joke. Two old friends bump into each other in December. One asks: "How was your year?" The other replies. "So-so. Worse than last year, but better than the next!"

This entry in the Jaws franchise was definitely not as good as the 1st one, but will better than the ones to come! :D
