Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating: PG Release Date: 23-MAY-2006 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Ushering in the age of the inferior sequel, Jaws 2 was essentially a license to print money. Indeed, the film did very well despite blatantly replicating the plot of Steven Spielberg's original, though to lesser effect. Roy Scheider returns as Martin Brody, sheriff of the small island town of Amity. Just as the beachside resort is rebounding from the previous movie's shark attacks, another great white is snacking on divers and water-skiers. Naturally, the town fathers don't want to confront reality and choose to proceed with a lucrative sailing regatta, resulting in a grisly loss of life. Besides the fact that director Jeannot Szwarc takes an impersonal, workaday approach to the film, Jaws 2 manages to be both stylistically flat and openly cynical about its commercial intentions. Of chief interest here is Scheider's performance, which wisely reflects the emotional fallout from Brody's last trauma in his obsessive behavior here. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating: - Inferior movie than the original, but better score, thanks to John WilliamsThe original Jaws (see: Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition)) is an undisputed cinematic masterpiece. To compare Jaws 2 to that is almost not fair. However, John Williams outdid himself and improved upon his legendary soundtrack album (see: Jaws: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and score to Jaws (see: Jaws: Anniversary Collector's Edition) with the sequel. The tension and action are -- if is even possible -- increased. Unfortunately, with the mono sound mix in this DVD, you can't truly ...

Basically its an a-z adventure film just like the original, with Roy Scheider delivering another great performance! Its nowhere near as good as the original, but miles better than 'jaws 3' and 'jaws the revenge', definatley worth a watch! Rating: - Jaws 2Pretty good on the edge of your seat movie, would love to see a more modern version made. For it's time this is very believable Rating: - Jaws 2- the Ridiculous sequalJaws 2 was a very crazey acted sequal, but it was still better than part 4 Plot- 2 years ago a giant 25 foot great white shark attacked and killed 5 swimmers, now the terror is back, but this time no one wants to nelieve Chief Martian Brody (Roy Scheider), but now there are a group of teens stranded out in the ocean and the shark has no patience to eat them (plus both Brody's sons are out there with them), now the real terror begins Acting- as i said, over the top Read More Rating: - Marv's reviewThis movie takes me way back. I bought the first one not too long ago, so I had to have the second. Now that I have Jaws 1 & 2, my Jaws collection is complete. I thought that the last 2 Jaws movies were terrible, but I really enjoy the first 2.
