Rating: Summary: Worst shark movie I've ever seen. Review: Now, keep in mind, I've only seen six shark-based movies in all. There are the four Jaws films, Deep Blue Sea, and now Shark Attack 2, which is, yes, even worse than the much hated Jaws the Revenge. Actually, not to my surprise at all, this movie rips off every one of the aforementioned films (yep, from genetic tampering in Deep Blue Sea to even all the way down to the "character at the end who should have been eaten but surfaces injured and alive" ending from Jaws the Revenge), but it's not as if though this couldn't have been a fun movie. For crying out loud, I enjoyed Octopus. But no, Shark Attack 2 is a bad movie in any way you put it. It begins with two sisters scuba-diving, and one of them is eaten by a big great white shark. Said shark is later tranquilized and placed in an exhibition in a park called Water World, of all names. Anyway, the shark escapes in a scene that still boggles me with its horrendous special effects and lack of coherent continuity. Thus, the surviving sister, a shark expert named Nick, and a Steve Irwin-wannabe set out to hunt this shark, only to discover a terrible secret about its origin. Having never seen the original Shark Attack, I can't say for sure how this one continues the story, though I'm figuring the stuff about the cancer research involving sharks has something to do with it. But all that aside, this is a very basic hunt-and-kill movie, from both sides of the field, be it sharks trying to eat humans or humans trying to kill the sharks. How hard can it be to screw such a concept up? Apparently, very easily, if you don't have the proper budget or acting chops to back a production up. The movie mostly relies on stock footage for its visual effects, which hinders continuity considering we explicity see a shark without an eye in one scene, though all stock footage clearly features a shark with an eye. For the genuine effects themselves, the sharks don't look so bad underwater, they're quite passable then, but when they surface to chomp, wow, it's like looking at a giant, shiny toy. Check out the surf competition massacre, where it's obvious they're not dragging the surfers in the water, the surfers are simply falling into their mouths. The script has an amusing tendency to get pretty trendy, especially with all the Steve Irwin and Discovery Channel references (there's even a "Cartman" imitation at one point). Even if this were a "good" movie (as good as such a movie can be), it'd date itself mighty quickly with its trendiness. The story itself has a lot of silly moments that raise a lot of questions. For one, are there really such things as glock handguns that work underwater? Would somebody really use a bomb that couldn't be disarmed? Would a couple really make love in water, especially with all the violence that'd been associated with it? When I think about it, the only thing worthy of note is that Nikita Ager bears a passing resemblance to Erika Eleniak, which means she's kind of hot. Everyone else here delivers pretty weak perormances (Ager included), and I swear, some of them even sound like their voices have been dubbed over (particularly Thorsten Kaye, whose tone of voice varies constantly like a concert band doing warm-ups). Just watch the first two Jaws movies again for fun shark thrillers.
Rating: Summary: GO THE SHARKS! Review: Okay u could tell they got a lot of stuff from Deep Blue Sea and Jaws mutant sharks begins with divers gettin killed however it was good and I luved the bit where all the surfers werre just gettin plucked from the sea by the sharks v nice touch and Roy lived *yay*!
Rating: Summary: Shark Attack 2: Attack of the stock footage and CGI Sharks! Review: Shark Attack 2 is the name of this film. It's about a guy named Dr. Nick Harris that tries to stop a school of mutant great white sharks, along with Samantha Peterson, a diver, and Roy Bishop, an Austrailian TV show host. This movie is probaly the worst shark movie I have ever seen! The whole movie has only CGI sharks and stock footage! Yeesh!!! Anyway, I guess the shark attacks are OK. But it is still a lame movie!!!
Rating: Summary: A deep blue sea rip off Review: Shark attack two is about a school of great white that are the offspring of some shark that some scientist experiment. He inserted steriods into them in a attempt to find a cancer cerom. The sharks start acting at first its just one them the shark start hunting together like raptor. The main girl character is hot and beautiful. Cheesy parts most of the time when you she the shoot of the sharks on the surface you can tell there fake. In the underwate shoot they look real.

Rating: Summary: skip this one and don't hesitate to do so Review: this film is an absolute disgrace. Come on now what is it with you people trying to rip off jaws like this. For god sakes quit it and make a good shark movie for once. The sharks look totally unconvincing and unscary. They appear to be nothing more than fiberglass. The shark footages are nice but set for the locations,climate and weather. This is not very good. What saves this movie from sinking is the performance by that guy who plays the Aussie. He was good but believe me watching this movie isn't worth watching his good acting my dear friends
Rating: Summary: Shark Attack 2 Review: When a mutated shark gets out of its pen only Nick, Samantha and Roy can stop it. Then they discover there is 6 sharks in total. This movie is pretty good. The things that need to be changed is how the sharks growl and how the sharks look at times. anyway it is a very good movie. The dvd that I own has a trailer for shark attack, shark attack 2, octopus and crocodile. The dvd could have had a commentary or the making of shark attack 2. But it doesn't. Recommended!
