I think we've got another shark problem.
-Martin BrodyWith Jaws being the first summer blockbuster, it's appropriate that Jaws 2 is one of the first examples of a cash grab sequel. It stars an actor that was contractually forced to do the film, co-stars the studio's president's wife in a bigger role forced on the film makers and the studio fired anyone that attempted to do anything original or progress an actual story from the events of the first film.
Director John D. Hancock and his wife, screenwriter Dorothy Tristan, worked on the pre-production for 18 months. They were doing a story with a dark tone that included having Amity in financial ruin in the wake of the first…

“Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-SHAAAARRRRKKKK!!!!”
No Spielberg? No problem! We’ve still got Chief Brody, we’ve still got the dipshit Mayor, we’ve still got fuckin’ Johnny “Mr. Electric” Williams, and we’ve still got a giant bloodthirsty shark roaming the water for unsuspecting sacks of meat, only this time with the name “Brucette” (which is a dumb low-effort name, so I prefer to instead refer to her as “Mrs. Bitey McBurnface”). It’s pretty much just a complete beat-for-beat retread of the original, minus any ounce of thematic depth, acting skills, or writing prowess, but honestly, I couldn’t care less. If I wanted JAWS, I’d watch JAWS; this instead nails all the marks for a fun dumb thrilling creature feature, and a lot of the attack scenes…

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.
Psycho and Jaws are both cinematic juggernauts that not only transcend the genre, they both terrified humans around the globe when it comes to showers and the ocean. I always felt like these movies have another thing in common... Both of these highly influential movies spawned an underrated sequel thats generally scoffed at by the many movie goers and if you ask me, they’re wrong on both counts.Not gonna lie folks, Jaws 2 is one of my favorite sequels... sure, It may not have Hooper or Quint and it certainly isn’t as tension filled as Jaws, but that never bothered me since we see a burned shark eat a…

This scene is fucking CRAZY please watch

We're gonna need a better script
We're gonna need a braver director
We're gonna need a brighter co-star
We're still gonna need a bigger boat
There are so many things wrong with this I'm not sure where to start, and yet it somehow works as an easy to process creature feature with a killer score.
The regular sightings and attacks become repetitive, and devoid of the incredible tension that Spielberg generated in the first film. In the original, when the shark finally appeared it was a revelation and genuinely sphincter-altering, whereas here it was more like 'here we go again'... kids messing in the water, where's the giant mechanical shark at.... where you at huh, big fella?

A drop in quality was to be expected without Spielberg's involvement, but Jaws 2 is actually a lot better than it has any right to be. I was really surprised how much tension it was able to build; most of the shark action had me on the edge of my seat.
Good stuff!

Really one of the best horror sequels out there. Nothing could ever top the first movie and a good sequel knows its place. This one does just about everything right: it brings back the characters we loved from the first movie and cranks up the kill count and shark action. And this shark is a total bitch. Just popping out of nowhere, ramming boats together, just pulling every asshole shark move it can think of and I love it.
I remember loving this as a kid and it still holds up now. The Jaws series was one that I was able to watch openly at a young age because it wasn't rated R so it may be one of my…

I'd always heard that this sucks. I wouldn't say it blows chunks so much as I'd say that for it to totally work you ideally need to have already seen Jaws while simultaneously not remembering anything about it. A tall order.
Still, huge laugh when the woman's boat blew up. Insane first act escalation. More movies should misstep like that.

Pacing was a bit off, but still enjoyable. There’s no way the shark can come back for a third film… right?
