Review of Jaws 2 (1978) by Liz B — 23 Mar 2009

Obviously not as legendary as its predecessor, but generally thought of to be one of the better sequels made to many Hollywood movies. Pretty much Speilberg didnt come back after the near disasters making the first one, and the second was no easier.

But Scheider did a rerun as Chief Brody (underrated actor of his time) and he had the burden of carrying the movie on his own... which he did alright in my opinion.

But the mystique and sheer thrill is gone... instead of teasing us with glimpses and the threat of the unseen, they instead gave us a shark with half his face burned off to give it some menace... but it didnt pay off I guess.

3 stars for being a 2nd good shark movie.
