DVD Reviews of Jaws 2
DVD Review: Bad idea...
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a BAD idea. No plot that's worth mentioning or charaters that are likable. Skip this, but see the first.DVD Review: The Return of the Sea Monster
Summary: 3 Stars
Two scuba divers come across a sunken boat and explore it. It is the `Orca'. Then an unseen thing attacks them. Amity has a new hotel for tourists. How could anything go wrong? [But we know what to expect.] Some teenagers discuss their prospects in life, given their class status. Then an expensive camera is found on the beach. Teenagers are playing by the shore. A water-skier attracts unwanted attention. Then there is an explosion on the boat. Chief Brody searches for the missing people. A dead orca washes up on the beach. What killed it? Could a shark be in the waters off Amity? What about the tourists?
Chief Brody discovers a missing tourist. The rich investor shows off the sunny beach. Will a false alarm scare prospective customers? Will the town officials lose confidence in Chief Brody? Will the movie play restful music to lull the viewers until there is a shocking surprise? Will another attack scare the viewers? Will a teenager become paralyzed with fear? Will a shark sighting create unbelievable confusion among the teenage sailors? Will the helicopter bring help? Will there be another lull in the story before another shark attack? Can you believe the trick used to end the shark attack? Was this supposed to be a film for teenagers? Will this review ask too many questions?
One problem with a sequel is the suspense is lessened. The boy's hair styles date the film. Will we ever see such films in the 21st century? The more limited cast tells of lower production costs.
DVD Review: The Other White Meat
Summary: 3 Stars
Not as good as the first one, but worth watching. I am starting to root for the shark. DVD Review: Not as good as the original.
Summary: 3 Stars
Jaws two is ok, just not great.
The shark is still cool, but it's basically the first movie remade poorly.
The script is ok, the acting is ok.
All in all it's not a must see.
If you liked one, you may want to rent this one.
DVD Review: NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST, BUT CLOSE .
Summary: 4 Stars
Roy Scheider is back as police Chief Martin Brody of the small town of Amity to hunt down another killer great white shark minus his sidekicks Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw. It appears another great white has made it's way into Amity to wreck havoc on the small town and scare away the summer tourists that the town relies on for it's summer dollars. As usual , once it's become quite clear to Chief Brody that there's another great white to deal with he confronts the mayor Larry Vaugnn( Murrey Hamilton) and the town officials that there's another shark to deal with they deny that it's any such thing because of the fact it will scare away tourists . While the first Jaws was a box office hit directed by Steven Spielberg and the sequel considered somewhat inferior by critics , I have to say it was very close to entertaining as the first and an excellent sequel .
Description of Jaws 2
Amitys citizens and police chief dread another tourist season with a great white shark near the beach. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/23/2006 Starring: Roy Scheider Murray Hamilton Run time: 117 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Jeannot SzwarcUshering 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
