Jaws was a Summer blockbuster and remains the 9th highest grossing film of ALL TIME!! There was yet no doubt that a sequel would happen and three years later, we got Jaws 2. Jaws 2 picks up a few years after the events of the first film and follows Chief Brody who believes that another shark, some relation to the first one, is out in the sea of Amity and ready to kill some locals. Jaws 2 came to mixed reviews when it came out and it was also a box office hit, being the second highest grossing sequel ever until Rocky II was released. There were people who hated it due to just how uneven it was to the first film and there were people who really liked it, I was one of the people who thought it was just ok. The film has nothing to be proud of and it is not a excellent sequel like The Godfather: Part II or Meet The Fockers, it's just ok! Jaws 2 is nothing amazing and no where near as good as the first film but is a good one.

(Flash Review)Yep, Jaws strikes again. How many oblivious people will he gobble up this time? While bringing nothing new to the table such as a bunch of expected shark attacks, it did achieve its goal of generating nerve-racking scenes. They were still tense but without the fresh magic of the original. Credit where credit is due. The forgettable plot was to kill Jaws again and of course rescue a group of people on the water. Will the sheriff succeed again this time and will the locals not trust him once again? Only Jaws fans need to view this one. But wow, I've never seen a shark attack a helicopter! Cool. Ha! And those late 70's styles are terrible.

Obviously made to cash in on the coat tails of Jaws. The novel was not written by Benchley for obvious reasons. Jaws was an original one shot story , there was no reason for a sequel except money. Totally inferior mess teen beat movie for the mind numb. There is nothing original ,jaws already did the shark attack movie which was excellent, This mess of a sequel is boring and all the teenage actors you want to just slap the crap out of them, they are so mind numbingly boring bad actors and actresses who spend most of their screen time spouting potty mouth dialog and screaming. A totally unnecessary waste of time and money for this film every copy should be burned.

If I were to make an appropriate comparison, Jaws 1 was a White shark bite, ferocious and huge, Jaws II would be a bite from a Blue Shark, still nasty, but lacking the ferocity. The film reminds me of the Halloween follow up in so many ways, the first being a moment of cinema where the game was changed, a massive act to follow, both feel like a direct continuation of the first, both have quality, but lack the originality and impact of their predecessor.Jaws II is slow to start, but as it gets going it really cranks up the tension, featuring some really good, tense moments. The shark has become a psycho killer instead of just a predator, and is now intent on killing its victims in the way Michael Myers did.Some good strong special effects, I thought in several scenes the shark looked very realistic, I've never been a fan of the ending though, it's just a bit silly. Roy Schneider clearly did not want to do this film, and I think it shows in his performance, he is not happy.It's a pretty good sequel, trouble is the original is a classic.
