Review of Jaws 2

Jaws 2 (1978)
7/10
I liked it, but not as good as the first by any means
4 October 1998
"Jaws 2" is an entertaining Saturday afternoon flick, by all means. Not anywhere as good or as intense as the original, it is nevertheless a fun watch. The shark has returned to feed on the citizens of Amity, and once again the town sheriff (Roy Scheider) must save the day. A group of teens, including the sheriff's two sons, have gone out for a day of sailing, and all Hell soon breaks loose. OK, I admit there is one glaringly unbelievable part when the shark meets up with a helicopter, but other than that it packs solid thrills. Ann Dusenberry, who plays Tina, gives a haunting performance after witnessing her boyfriend become shark chowder. Donna Wilkes is perhaps one of the top three screen screamers of all time. After watching this one, you'll think twice about ever waterski-ing in the ocean. I would have preferred a better ending, I will admit, but if you haven't seen it, check it out on a rainy day.
