No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: SCHEIDER/GARY/HAMILTON Title: JAWS 2 Street Release Date: 05/23/2006 Genre: MYSTERY / SUSPENSE 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: - Best Jaws sequelThis is a pretty good sequel to the origional (especially compared to Jaws 3 and 4). Definitely not as good as Jaws 1, though. It's still a pretty good movie that's worth buying. I wasn't able to watch this movie very many times, but it was still fun to watch. Rating: - OK follow upI remember seeing this film in the theater as a kid The scene where Brody is in the ocean looking after the remains of the boat "accident" & the burned body jumps out. We all jumped. The positives about the film is bringing back the late Roy Scheider, late Murray Hamilton, Lorraine Gary & having John Williams back to do the music. It is an OK follow up. Yes another large great white back eating people in the Amity area. So, the ... Read More Rating:  - A Shark "Slasher" FilmLet's face it, topping the original "Jaws" would be impossible. Everything about the first film was pitch perfect from the cast to the script to the special effects (or lack thereof) to the director to the music. So "Jaws 2" goes for a complete change of pace, and manages to remain an entertaining if not a classic film. The poor folks of Amity are slowly recovering from the events of the first film when a second shark comes along and begins munching on hapless divers before the opening ... Read More Rating:  - Jaws 2.Jaws 2 is a decent sequel(compared to Jaws 3/3D). Roy Scheider returns as the sheriff. Great acting and A Great White Returns.Still a Classic and as good as Part 1. Rating: - Decent. However, compared to the masterpiece is trash.For all my reviews visit my website I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated. Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review. This movie is mostly boring. However, there are some very suspenseful and legit scary scenes. There's a mystery in this movie, how the shark got burnt, as if "is it a new shark, or is it the same shark for the first one." That ... Read More
