Ratings and reviews

Jaws 2 is worth watching and considering the pressure to follow up from the first movie I have to say it does well for the most part. We get to see a new shark attacking people in new ways like the water skier and speed boat scene. The power and size of the shark and it's killings are hyped up more and make for some scary moments. After this movie the Jaws franchise went down the toilet fast so compared to part 3 and 4 Jaws 2 is a great movie.

What can I say, its okay but maybe should have stopped at the 1st because the last 2 films, 3 and 4 were so badly done, but this one is okay but the 1st Jaws film was by far an awesome film. This one could have been done better. Great cast and music tho 😃

A really good movie in its own right. Not a patch on the first masterpiece, although its fair paced and entertaining. For me this is one of John Williams best. Musically this is more creative than the first.
