This review is from: Jaws 2 (Widescreen) (DVD)
I don't know why people complain about this awesome sequel! It was the first before two other, worse ones, but this one was totally awesome and worthy of the first! It is definetly in the right direction and in the spirit of the original. It was scary at some points and the end was great! (Except the 'shocker' at the end, that looked fake.)This Jaws sequel was definetly enjoyable and worth a look to anyone who liked the first. The fourth was the other one I watched, haven't seen three but I'm planning on getting it sometimes. After seeing this one, the fourth one sucks. (I thought it was fun before.) A great sequel, steer clear of the fourth unless you wanna watch something so bad its good.

Not quite as good as the first.,
By Christopher Jackson (Halifax, Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jaws 2 (Widescreen) (DVD)
It's been four years since the great white shark terrorized the small resort of Amity. Now, it's happening again: unsuspecting vacationers are beginning to disappear in an all-too-familiar fashion. Only one man, Police Chief Martin Brody, knows what's really going on, but the Mayor doesn't want to take him seriously.The film, directed by Jeannot Szwarc (Enigma, Somewhere In Time, The Bug) while not as good as the first, is still not a bad sequel. There's not as much gore in this one as in the last and while that's not a bad thing, some of the shark attack scenes lose some of their realism due to the lack of it. I also felt that there were too many sequences in the movie showing the teenagers sailing their boats and goofing around. I also didn't care for the way one of the teenagers treated Sean, Martin Brody's youngest son, angrily yelling at him to grab hold of the rope he is throwing him, doesn't he realize that the boy is scared that the shark might come up again? after all, he'd just been rescued from a close encounter with the shark! Richard Dreyfuss' character, Matt Hooper is sorely missed and only mentioned in a phone call message Brody's wife gives him. As well, I noticed in some of the shark sequences that the Great White looked plastic, which stole some of the shock value away from these scenes. However, the movie did have some good shock scenes, such as the one when Martin Brody, investigating a mysterious object in the water, comes face to face with one of the victims. Another harrowing sequence is the one where Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) freaks out at what he thinks is a shark, yelling at everyone to clear the beach while he fires his gun at it! As it turns out, it was only a group of bluefish. This event leads to his firing as Police Chief. The underwater sequences, I thought, were really breathtaking, giving you a perspective from the shark's point of view as it slowly moved towards it's victims. Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, Joseph Mascolo, and Jeffrey Kramer all give terrific performances in this movie. As for the picture, Universal did a beautiful job remastering this film--it's crisp and clear, with absolutely no flaws whatsoever. The sound, in Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono, is great, dialogue can be easily heard and John Williams famous suspenseful score sounds better than ever. The movie is in 2:35 Widescreen format, which is great as it lets you see the movie the way it was meant to be seen (it's even better if you have a Widescreen TV). The DVD also has subtitles in English, Espanol, and Francais, which should be please the hard-of-hearing audience. It's also got some great extras, such as The Making Of Jaws 2, Theatrical Trailers, deleted scenes, and John Williams: The Music Of Jaws 2. So, while Jaws 2 doesn't have the "bite" of the original, it's still worth checking out.
