Jaws 2 Audience Reviews

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
dngent-52300 As far as jaws sequels goes this is the best by a country mile. It lacks the originality and style of the first film but also hosts a very bearable and understandable plot and is altogether a very watchable movie.
Ian (Flash Review)Yep, Jaws strikes again. How many oblivious people will he gobble up this time? While bringing nothing new to the table such as a bunch of expected shark attacks, it did achieve its goal of generating nerve-racking scenes. They were still tense but without the fresh magic of the original. Credit where credit is due. The forgettable plot was to kill Jaws again and of course rescue a group of people on the water. Will the sheriff succeed again this time and will the locals not trust him once again? Only Jaws fans need to view this one. But wow, I've never seen a shark attack a helicopter! Cool. Ha! And those late 70's styles are terrible.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Jaws 2" (1978)Close-to-be three years after director Steven Spielberg's breakthrough picture "Jaws" (1975) comes this underrated sequel with Roy Scheider (1932-2008) and Lorraine Gary reprising as married couple "Brody" on the fictitious New England island Amity, immigrated from New York City to confront a second Great White Shark of meaner manners by chasing and attacking speed-boats now as teenage summer-dreaming katamarans and a highlighted water-landing helicopter, provoking gas explosions and plains of fire on water with much improved shark effects to an entertaining well-executed sequel by television-approved director Jeannot Szwarc, known nowadays for directing episodes for Fringe (2008-2013) and Grey's Anatomy (2005-2018).Underwater as moody on-location cinematography works along with quality picture production design by Joe Alves, known for been Art Director for Spielberg on-set of "Close Encounter Of The Third Kind" (1977) and directing a forgettable, falling-flat "Jaws 3" (1983) starring Dennis Quaid. Nevertheless with "Jaws 2", we are able to follow the original main character Sheriff Brody under Roy Scheider's charming portrayal of the struggle man in smoke, booze and paranoia, battling the mayor, again performed by match-making actor Murray Hamilton (1923-1986) to confront "The Great White" again; this time alone in shallow waters instead of the "Deep Blue Sea" with friends under a watchful, crying and screaming group of teenagers to fair conclusion of the 1975 smash hit exclusively from Universal Pictures Studios.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
Gafri Ariansyah Jaws 2 (1978) is a horror thriller from America and is the second sequel to Jaws franchise that began in 1975. Four years passed after the tragedy of the great white shark attack that hit the island of Amity Island, now the terror back haunted the island. One of the policemen named Martin Brody had to protect the townspeople and had to rescue his son and the teenagers floating in the sea and prevent them from eating the sharks. Jaws 2 is pretty good, becoming the sequel to the classic movie of the horror movie Jaws (1975)
