Jaws 2

it is a different perspective about the story. and the only sin is the ignoring of the great possibilities to explore the universe of the teenagers . but the film has many virtues and this is the only important thing. few memorable scenes - few really silly -, the good job of Roy Scheider, the spirit of youth and the confrontation with an early legend. the inspired option to discover it remains to ignore the original. because not only the perspective is different but the message. no Hemingway, no Melvill. only a helicopter in a delicate situation, a more impressive shark and the screams. each as brick of a decent movie who not desires to impress only to entertain.

Police chief Brody (Roy Scheider) must protect the citizens of Amity after a second monstrous shark begins terrorizing the waters. In October 1975, Steven Spielberg told the San Francisco Film Festival that "making a sequel to anything is just a cheap carny trick" and that he did not even respond to the producers when they asked him to direct "Jaws 2". He may be right, but sequels have their place, and this one does a fair job of capturing the spirit of the first film... much more than the future sequels. Of course, it remains a sequel and not near as iconic as the original. But that should hardly be a surprise. You can only have one "Jaws", really. But the continuing adventures of the Brody family are worth exploring, whether they have the same level of intensity or not.

Jaws 2 falls a little short compared to Jaws 1, but it's still a good movie. The film has the original cast which is awesome! Great filming and I loved how the shark is made out of mechanics, they did a great job in making it look real. The movie is a little slower then the first in the fact that it has less action. The shark attacks are less gory and showing compared to the first Jaws movie. One nice thing is that the movie changes it game by taking the shark attack to the open ocean instead of off the shore. Over all I found it another exciting Jaws film and was happy with how it was done.
