Review on 🦈 JAWS 2: Thrilling Sequel on DVD WS - Experience the Ultimate Shark Terror! by Travis Petty

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Jaws 2, Justin Bieber 0

There's a moment when Jaws 2 transcends and becomes very touching: when Sheriff Brody panics on the beach because he thinks he's spotted a great white shark in the water. That doesn't sound like much on paper, but Roy Scheider and the film industry in general have come together to really sell this. At this point, you can say that this is a genuine attempt to present a haunting allegory of ongoing trauma worthy of its masterful predecessor, and not a monster shark sequel. shark sequel. Much of the action revolves around a group of exuberant teenagers, including eldest son Brody, who looks a lot like Justin Bieber (that's just the beginning of the rapidly accelerating aging of these kids on this show), and these young actors are very, very good indeed acting like her in CRAZY EFFECT (girl screaming "This is gonna kill us!"; women often react like this when they see me and I have to say she was very sincere ;). But the film's focus on her creates a slasher vibe that feels cheesy compared to the more grown-up original. And even the other scenes with Brody's futile attempts to convince the town of the existence of another killer shark feel more like a boring rerun of the first film than a continuation of the poignant beach scene. Part of me really wants to give this one better grades, and I definitely do. It deserves better than being rated alongside the next two Jaws sequels, but it just doesn't quite deserve it. Just like those teens got stuck on their makeshift Voltron raft, or got stuck on a power line like a flaming shark, I'm afraid Jaws 2 will be stuck in the middle forever.
