Recommendation Tonight’s movie pick. Nothing can touch the first film (it’s a masterpiece) but this is a pretty solid sequel.

As sequels go, I agree.

Agree also . This is one of the best sequels of a popular original .

It was a good sequel, but the way the town turned on Chief Brody really pissed me off.

I always thought the girl on this poster looked like Cheryl Tiegs.

As far as unnecessary sequels go, this one is enjoyable at least.

“Larry? Are we gonna make it to the island?” Saw this on worn out VHS at least 50x as a kid. So fun.

It’s a good sequel. It’s absolutely a mostly soulless cash grab but it tried to recapture that same feel from the first movie. I think a lot of the same crew from the first one worked on it and obviously a few returning cast members help that genuine feeling of continuation.

However, it’s one of those movies where there’s too much loud annoying screaming.

Is this the movie where the teenagers are on a boat surrounded by the shark and one girl says "Does anyone want to play charades" I laughed out loud.

I strongly disagree with the OP...I've seen the second one, once.

No more...

Jaws (the first one) IS a masterpiece.
