Where would you have taken the franchise after that, um, colorful fourth installment?

The ground up grandson of Chief Brody is an accomplished marine biologist and shark rights advocate. Along with his assistants and colleagues, Brody is invited by a mysterious new benefactor to his island hideaway in the South Pacific to sign off on his new great white shark sanctuary. Little does he realize that their eccentric host is reviving the Megalodon species with preserved DNA from the shark tooth Hooper dropped at Amity Island 43 years ago. And they must train said Megalodon as a new biological weapon to assist on the war on whaling.
...What are you guys standing around gawking at? Jump right in, this cocaine ain't gonna finish itself!

I would have probably gone the Deep Blue Sea route.

Just go back to the original's roots by being simple but scary. No revenge for another shark's death, no roaring, none of that bullcrap. They should keep the shark mysterious and not being seen until near the end like in the first film.

The shark moves to Nebraska to get away from all his problems at sea, only to discover the Brody family has moved there too. Those old hunger pains start again, and before you know it, it's no longer safe to go back into the cornfields!

After Jaws IV, I don't know what they could have done to revive it. That movie was brilliant at ruining the franchise.
I am all for a good shark film. I have even read some novels in hopes of one of them capturing the essence of the film Jaws. The novel Jaws comes closest, I guess not surprisingly. I kept wanting to find something, anything, that was like the original film Jaws. The closest film was Jaws 2.
I enjoyed Deep Blue Sea, enough to recommend it. It's an interesting idea and I like the cast. The effects are pretty good, minus some poor CGI sharks.
I don't know what they can do at this point to revive the franchise.
The new MEG film? I will watch it but I'm not exactly enthusiastic. It doesn't have an actor like Scheider or Dreyfuss or Shaw. Or a director like Spielberg. Or a composer like Williams. How can any film possibly compare to Jaws when it had that much extraordinary talent?

Matt Hooper is taking a Carnival retirement cruise when the ship is terrorized by a gigantic shark that he recognizes to be a direct descendant of the shark from Jaws.
Various celebrity cameos.
JAWS 5 - THE LAST VOYAGE OF HOOPER!
On this cruise, we all lose.

I'd probably go soft reboot territory. Have an unrelated shark terrorizing another coastal town, bring Hooper back in a Quint-like role, maybe throw in some elements from the original novel like the mob stuff.
That is, if you put a gun to my head and told me I had to pitch it.
