Jaws 2
Funny thing about Jaws 2...
I liked it! I've always liked this movie. No, it's not the first movie, and it's not a classic. But the shark looks cool, there is plenty of good monster action with it, and it destroys a HELICOPTER. A HELICOPTER!! YES. It lunges out of the water, bites the helicopter, and pulls it into the water. You gotta love that. What more does a person need to know? It's good popcorn entertainment.

Don't know if I've seen ANY of the JAWS sequels...I remeber wondering which number "the revenge" was though...
The first one was ok...what's the deal with the second, do some sharks smell blood in the water from the first or somethin'?

The second movie just has "another shark"...it looks a little smaller than the one in the first movie, but I could be wrong about that.
This new shark is a little crazier than the one in the first movie too...a little whacky...it chases after people and chews through boats a lot more. It also seems more calculating and intelligent in some ways...for example, it seems to sense that the guy in the helicopter is going to rescue the kids on the boat, and since it wants to eat the kids on the boat, it destroys the helicopter. So this shark is kind of flambouyant, if you'll pardon the expression, in a comic-book sort of way.

Jaws 2 is not a bad sequel. Not the classic that Jaws is, but a good film. The 70's clothing and hairstyles are a thing to behold as well.

I have a weird way of perceiving it. It looks like it was a much easier film to make. Much of the shark action takes place closer to shore, and I imagine that the mechanical shark rig setups were much easier to achieve because of this. The final confrontation occurs in a sort of stationary zone right near land, which also looks very convenient. The effects people were probably pretty happy about that.
It occurs to me that this was a nice experience for the actors returning from the first film to play their characters once again...the first film was a huge moneymaker, so people coming back probably were compensated well. So it was more money to do less work, I figure. Sort of reenforces the idea that if you really work hard on something, karma will do you a good turn. So when I see this, I see people riding a gravy train for a little while and having fun. I am also a total sucker for monster-in-the-water pictures. If you have some rubber monster lunging out of the water to bite people, I'll watch it even if it's bad. And Jaws 2 is actually not bad at all, it's pretty good.
