    What the internet must realize is that in 1978, everyone wanted a jaws sequel and were pretty happy with it when it came out. In 1983, jaws 3 came out and showed a new generation a shark movie. Yes, it was bad but children loved it. Don’t ask me what happened in 1987.

    Jaws 2 is a worthy sequel. It's was never going to touch the quality of the first one, how can it, Jaws is a masterpiece. Jaws 2 holds up and is a good shark film. Of course everything is bigger, more blood and the shark should be shown more. You can't hide the shark, thats already been done. It doesn't eat a helicopter, does it. It's not perfect, but it's solid. It's a teenage slasher movie (which were popular at the time) set at sea. I like it.

    Jaws 2 could not match the classic that was Jaws, but it is a good sequel. The shark attacks are well staged, with some good setpieces and Roy Scheider giving a good performance, being more paranoid and then going to rescue his kids, the mayor has a good redeeming moment (being the one to vote against the dismissal of Brody - a deleted scene that should have been left in). One of the problems is that it is more tame (almost no blood and deleted death scenes to obtain a PG rating), but it is watchable and well made.
    Jaws 3D had great potential to be a fun sequel with the possibilty of great setpieces in the new park setting. In fact the script is not bad (better than those of 2 and 4), but the direction is lackluster failing to genereate tension in the attacks and the effetcs were rushed and bad. But the 3d is in fact very good (and the bluray in 3d worth watching).
    Jaws The Revenge had better direction than 3, with some effective sequences (Sean's death, the chase in the sunken ship and the attack on the banana boat) but the story is too absurd. The original ending was better (with the shark impaled instead of exploding).

Marge's death is quite horrific despite no blood being shown! There's a great use of psychological horror (After Eddie is killed and Tina stares helplessly at the broken frame) the scuba divers exploring the reef just before the shark goes after the teens! And of course, pulling Mike Brody out of the water!! The audience reaction to that scene is pure screaming!!

    Well, you call the FOURTH movie (Revenge) stupid for having that plot point about the shark STALKING the Brody family, however I think that having the BRODY's in EVERY movie in the series was what was ALREADY stupid in the FIRST PLACE, especially in the third movie (where they're grown adults living in a completely different location). Therefore, I really don't hold THAT against that fourth film, cause it was almost like an EXPLANATION, of some kind, was NEEDED at THAT point. I mean, were audiences supposed to be just left thinking that this ONE PARTICULAR FAMILY just kept repeatedly running afoul of these ABNORMALLY BIG SHARKS by pure COINCIDENCE? . .. yeah, THAT's much more plausible!

    What is depressing about how routine 'Jaws 2' turned out is the sheer amount of hard work, thought and innovation that went into the physical production of the film. I saw an interview with director Jeannot Swarc (during the filming) in which he wonderfully articulated exactly how 'Jaws' had succeeded and how any sequel would be misguided to attempt to copy that. So no shortage of insight or knowledge and what we got was a by the numbers, padded and very flat film.

    I’ve always enjoyed JAWS 2 because you can see that they TRIED to make a good sequel. The problem is that the first is such a masterpiece it was going to be impossible to do. That’s why I think that JAWS 2 is a step above the bad monster movies (BMM’s) of the 70’s. In modern terms, 2 steps above something like Sharknado or those other Syfy monster movies.
    The less said about 3 and Revenge, the better. THAT’s solid BMM territory.

I never knew about the wasted potential that is jaws 3, jaws 3 humans 0 sounds interesting. And Jaws 4 is also bland, boring and bad. If I remember correctly didn't jaws 4 had different shark deaths depending on a version (one with that boat stick impalement causing a balloon like explosion and the other being just reused footage of jaws 1 shark death)? The shark psychic connection plot was funny, it reminded me of the dog flashbacks in Wes Craven's hills have eyes 2.

    I absolutely hate all three of the sequels but man you acted like there wasn’t a single thing that worked in them which is insane to me. There are three small things that I really liked about them (which if I can only find three small things that I thought were good about them then that alone should effectively show how bad these sequels are). Firstly as someone with PTSD I loved what they did with Chief Brody in Jaws 2. For a film from 1978 it’s kind of shocking that this was done so well. His elevated fear of water, the beach shooting scene, his irrationality about this shark being out for revenge even though the new shark turning up was just a really unlucky coincidence, etc. It’s great. And wow is it hard to watch the aforementioned beach shooting scene. Seeing how afraid everyone is of him really shows how people reacted to PTSD then and sadly still do now. Secondly I love that in Jaws 4 Mrs. Kintner from the first film is seen as one the women who was there to comfort Ellen after Sean was killed. She went from hating Ellen’s husband and blaming him for her son’s death to realizing it wasn’t his fault and being a friend to Ellen after she lost her son to a shark attack like she had years prior. It was touching. I just wish it was expanded upon more than it was. And finally the way they handled Ellen’s reaction to her son’s death. It was heartbreaking. In such a bad and campy film it’s pretty incredible that this was done so well (most of which is probably due to Lorraine Gary’s stellar performance). As for Jaws 3? Yeah there’s not a single thing I like about that film. It’s just horrendous in its entirety.

      Its hilarious how everyone cries about how he couldn't accept his Oscar because he was filming Jaws The Revenge. Meanwhile HE who really is the only person who matters has said, that he didn't care that he couldn't, he's never watched the movie but he has seen the house he purchased with the money he was paid for the role.

      @@AGPfan I would have given Jaws The Revenge a 1/10 initially, but Michael Caine & Judith Barsi pushed it up to 3/10…..I loved their brief interaction on the plane flight, an established great actor & a budding young great actress rubbing shoulders together!

    Jaws 2 was always a favorite when I was a kid; would've called it a true sequel at the time (obviously not knowing who Spielberg was)

      It was my favourite one when I was young. I wanted to see the shark a lot. Simple as that.
      It was only once I got older that I realised just how much of a masterpiece the first one was.

    I enjoy the sequels. They have their own enjoyable factors.

    I actually like the sequels. Yes they weren't amazing but I still enjoy watching them.

    The creature from the Black lagoon in 3D aired on television when I was in Chicago. I remember getting my 3D glasses at 7-11.

    This narrator obviously was not even around when Jaws 2 came out so he doesn’t know the feeling of the time, the buzz in the air. The excitement this film caused. The Lines at the theater.
    ‘Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water’! That trailer was freaking scary!
    The other two films, he’s right they were terrible. Shameless cash grabs. But, Jaws Two, fit the time period it was shown in. Today? Campy and Silly but in 1978, I couldn’t go into the ocean for years!

    Once I thought about alternative story for Jaws 2. It being just Brody coping with ptsd. He sees sharks everywhere because his trauma. Those few deaths were always just tragic accidents but his paranoid mind cooks this new shark and he obbsesses over it and movie is about him getting over the incident that still haunts him. Kinda like in Babadook. That monster is implied to be a stand in for grief (IIRC, correct me if I'm wrong).

    I don’t give a shit what you say, Jaws 2 is more than passable! It’s a PERFECT sequel!!!! If you thought Jaws 2 wasn’t scary, that’s because watching the original so many fucking times has made you numb. If you found yourself in the situation Eddie was in or Doug for that matter I bet your ass would be so scared you’d shit your pants!

    They should have stopped after the second one. The third and fourth one stunk! Jaws 2 had more jump scares than the original.
