Movie Reviews of Jaws 2
Movie Review: There's a New Fish in the Pond
Summary: 5 Stars
Poor unwilling Brody tackles an even bigger great white in Jaws 2, without any help from Hooper or Quint. His motivation is his two sons Sean and Michael, who go daysailing with a group of young islanders and get into a terrifying situation only their dad can get them and the others out of. I enjoyed Jaws, but I liked Jaws 2 better. It has more upbeat music and colorful sails on the boats. Roy Scheider again plays Brody but with a new fish to deal with. Lorraine Gary again plays his wife while Murray Hamilton again appears as the reluctant mayor. Even though Steven Spielberg was not the director, the action moved very nicely with plenty of heart-stopping moments. The movie may not scare viewers as much as Jaws did, but I feel it is a worthy sequel to the original blockbuster.

Genre: MYSTERY / SUSPENSE
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
