After a captured Great White escapes from a sea park, a former biologist and a victims' sister find their quarry is part of a school of genetically-engineered sharks and must team with a TV-show host to stop them from attacking more.This turned out to be quite a fun if slightly cheesy killer shark effort. What really works here is the fact that this one gets some nice shark action throughout here as this one plenty of action along the way. It even manages to switch nicely from suspenseful to cheesy, as the opening ocean-going attack on the sister and the first attack on the worker in front of the tourists come off as highly suspenseful scenes as the ocean attack features the stalking through the wrecked ruins while the tank attack is based off the struggle to get out of the water before being eaten as the whole thing is in front of children and a news-crew. There's also plenty of cheesy action here that comes off every nicely, from the capture of the shark as well as the escape attempt of it swimming into the sea afterwards, while the film's two big highlight scenes work in a nice mixture of both as the underwater cage attack works with the brutality of the sharks' relentless banging into the cages and the slow realization of the flimsy cage not holding them out with the goofy shark heads coming through and dragging them away, while the other big scenes here is the great attack on the surfing contest where the high body-count and the action is immensely fun and enjoyable that gets fun again with the relentless action here that it comes off rather well. Even the finale in the cave ins incredibly thrilling battling with the different creatures in and around the caves, even through this here does come with what is the film's only real flaw here in the laughable special effects here. While it's not the fault of the live-action stock-footage which comes of really well and is integrated nicely into here, but overall there's little else here that works about the sharks. The CGI looks best here where it's not noticeably obvious, but the prop-heads are pretty cheesy-looking, never once betray their rubber nature and always configured into the same position that carries on for each scene that runs itself into the ground by featuring the same thing which really ruins the effect. These here are what hold this one back considerably.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity and a mild sex scene.

I caught this one on TV some time ago and no I wasn't expecting anything of it. And that's exactly what I got out of it: Nothing. Some strange chemical phenomenon in my brain makes sure that I keep watching this tripe, even though I've had it up to here with all those cheap shark-crap-movies made around the turn of this millennium. I saw the first Casper Van Dien "Crap Attack" fest, and thought it pretty much sucked (actually, I think it sucked, as it was that forgettable I just can't remember what it went like). And so did this one, sucky & crappy. I admit, it was kind of fun to see all the clichés and the typical plot elements & holes unfold before my eyes and the cast did their best with what was given (I guess), but they were all not much of big talents. Plastic shark-heads popping out of the water and underwater CGI-sharks that are less menacing then the ones in "Finding Nemo". We've all seen that before. So yes, I know, if I knew I was going to nag about the amazing "Shark Attack 2", then why did I decide to watch it anyway? Well, it's like getting sh!t-faced drunk: once in a while doesn't hurt, right? And the day after, you can nag about your headache.

this movie could be called a blatant rip-off of "Jaws 3",at least the beginning of it.however it has an added twist and it's a much better movie.the shark attacks are really bloody and violent in this one,and the are frenetic at times.i'm not sure if this movie is better than the first,but it's still pretty good.again there's lots of action,and the sharks are fear inspiring.the acting is pretty good.the movie is a bit too melodramatic at times and lags once in awhile.even so,it's an entertaining movie with some thrills and some nail biting tension.there are a lot worse movies out there in the genre and in general.if you wanna fill 90 minutes or so,you could do a lot worse,and you may even enjoy it.my vote for "Shark Attack 2" is 7/10

The acting might not be on quite the same level as Jaws, but the special effects just may be. They can seem kind of corny sometimes, but it comes across as being fairly realistic feeling. The South African scenery is gorgeous. I'd always heard Capetown was beautiful, but now I know. I didn't see too much of the black population of South Africa except for the mayor of the town, although many of the cast seemed to be natives. The setting was idyllic with the blue ocean surrounded by mountains looking like something out of the Caribbean. The heroine is a little on the edge, but cute. It is also a bit formulaic, but with a name like Shark Attack 2, what could you expect? I have not seen Shark Attack 1, or 3 for that matter, but I doubt they could match this one in intensity. Nothing exceptional, but overall, an enjoyable and interesting movie.
