Summary: The lunch buffett is still open!
Review: As the original JAWS is my all time favorite film, JAWS II finds it's way in to my top 10. Why you ask, well I will tell you why. In this just as trilling sequal. Chief Brody(Roy Scheider) finds himself confronting another huge great white shark(the word got around that this place serves a mean human ala king!)set 3 years after the fisrt shark attacks, the town of Amity wishes to forget and pass on the possibility of another great white shark. So Brody is on his own this time to do battle not just with the shark but his own fears to save a group of day sailers which includes his sons Micheal and Sean from becoming a gourmet feast!

Summary: Eh...Decent action movie from the 70's...but...
Review: Well, I am not going to knock this movie for not being as good as the original, because of course, Jaws was a classic and any sequel usually never live up to the original one because the idea is already there and its usually nothing new. However, it is lacking something that they still could have thrown in, a plot. I enjoyed the first Jaws, because there was a reason you wanted to identify with the characters, you went on the boat with them, you threw out the barrells with them, you sang songs with them, and almost had a drink with them. You could identify to the characters, and had fun with them, in fact, you even learned a little bit about sharks. In other words, you cared what happened to them... In this film, it is nothing more than a Shark attacking people. Now, if you are in the mood for a film where you don't want to think much and just want to see some action from the 1970's, then this is your movie. But to say that this film is anything beyond average is a stretch... It deserves 3, only because you can't give 2.5

Summary: Not bad
Review: Actually this film isn't all that bad. It's no where near as good as the original "Jaws", but then few films are. You could sort off say it's like a cross between "Jaws" and "Bleach Blanket Bingo". I thought the teen actors where really good, and they did a terrific job off showing genuine fear and terror (even though some people would disagree with me, I know). So go check it out. But don't check out Jaws 3 and 4. I believe number 4 is what killed the series.

Summary: The Best of the sequels
Review: The original Jaws was a huge succees so there's no wonder they made a sequel. It's bad enough they had to make one sequel but 3 was just a mistake, Jaws: The Revenge is huge proof of that. It's silly enough that another huge shark just happens to come back to the same beach and no one believes Roy Scheider all over again. However Roy Scheider is the reason this film is good, he manages to hold the film without Robert Shaw "for a good reason...his character was eaten in the original" and Richard Dryfus. Although Scheider is solid, the teenagers who get attacked by Jaws at the end are awful, you got really bad Friday the 13th caliber acting there. With that aside Jaws 2 is still a good movie, sort of an unneeded sequel but there's still chills and thrills. Certainly the only Jaws sequel worth owning.

Summary: A Suspense Making Machine
Review: This is the best Jaws movie there is. The problem with the first Jaws movie was that there were very few attacks in the long period of time. In this movie, you can barely keep up with all the suspense building attacks. After you see this great movie, you will never stop watching it.

Summary: There's More Than ONE Fish In The Sea
Review: JAWS 2 goes under my designation of films which I call "Curiously Frustrating"--a group that also includes HALLOWEEN II and THE RAGE: CARRIE 2. Yes, these are all sequels, and as a rule sequels almost never live up to the originals, especially if the first films are bonafide classics. JAWS 2 falls under this category because there are as many sub-par elements in it as there are good ones. It has been three years since Amity Island was terrorized by a Great White shark that took several lives. Unfortunately, there happens to be more than one killer Great White in the Atlantic waters off the island; and when police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) investigates a number of stange things (divers investigating the wreck of the "Orca" who mysteriously disappear; a woman in a speedboat being killed in an explosion; a whale beaching itself with large bite marks), he wonders if a second shark isn't causing this. Not surprisingly (except maybe for audiences), he runs into conflict once again with the mayor (Murray Hamilton) and the town's business interests, who once more are concerned with the almighty dollar (in the form of real estate developments) than with human lives. This time, however, the battle is very bitter, and Scheider loses his job after he causes an unintended panic on the beach. Virtually the only support he gets in this comes from his wife (Lorraine Gary) and deputy (Jeffrey Kramer). But when groups of teens, including his two sons, involved in a boating regatta, suddenly have run-ins with the shark, it is Scheider who once more must take matters into his own hands. After considerable mayhem (including a Coast Guard chopper being chewed up by the shark), Scheider is able to lead the shark to electrocution by guiding the fish to an underwater power cable. Though it had fewer problems in production than the first one did, those fewer problems led to the audience seeing the shark more, which wasn't the case the first time around. The trouble is that the director Jeannot Szwarc, who made the 1975 horror film BUG, indulges in a lot of shark's-view shots to make up for his inability to create mounting suspense the way Steven Spielberg did it the first time around. Except for Scheider, most of the characters in JAWS 2 are either too thinly drawn or too unsympathetic to arouse our sympathy. Would this have been rectified had Spielberg helmed this film, and Richard Dreyfuss returned as Matt Hooper, as had been hoped? Almost certainly. On the other hand, Scheider's determined performance carries the film through the utter contrivances of the Carl Gottlieb-Howard Sackler screenplay (the chopper sequence being spectacular but most ludicrous), as does another great John Williams score. In the end, JAWS 2 could never really hope to measure up to its illustrious predecessor, unless Spielberg wanted to step in. When compared to its two successors and the scores of imitations the original spawned, however, that assessment is perhaps higher praise than it actually sounds like.

Summary: An solid Sequel.
Review: A few years later, Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) has another problem, when a great white Shark, has come to the oceans of the waters of a small town named Amity. Since it`s attacked on some of the people from the town. Brody has to deal again, once more with the killer shark. Directed by Jeannot Szwarc (Somewhere in Time, Supergirl, Santa Claus:The Movie) and Written by Carl Gottieb and Howard Sackler. This sequel was a success in Theaters but not as Big as in the Original. Orignally Steven Spielberg and Richard Dreyfuss wanted to be back in the Sequel but they were busy with another film projects. This sequel has less gore than the Original but a little more Violent than the Original. DVD`s has an fine anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and the Original 2-channel Mono Soundtrack. I wonder why Universal didn`t remastered the Sound in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD Extras are:A Documentary, Four Deleted Scenes:Including-A Extended Sniking Helicopter scene, a Featurette with now Filmmaker:Keith Gordon, a Featurette with Composer:John Williams, Trailers and more. This a well made respectable Sequel. Panavision. Grade:A-.

Summary: Good,Very good
Review: This Movie is very good. It is not as good as the original though. I has a lot of action. But it is kind of gross. In Jaws 2, Jaws returns for a second time around. He eats people and chief Brody has to kill Jaws. Chief Brody takes a power line and Jaws eats it. That does the trick.
