Review of Jaws 2 (1978) by Akshatmahajan — 10 Sep 2020
For me, Jaws 2 was almost of same level as Jaws. The only problem this part had, was pacing. The pacing could have been better.
It becomes a challenge for a director to make a sequel of a film which is considered as masterpiece and I can say that the director of this part didn't disappoint. Yes, he was not able to give another masterpiece but he gave us best sequel of Jaws.
This story is almost same as first part. Overall, the film moves a little slowly in first half, but picks up dramatically in the second half. In fact, it turns out quite intense, just like the first film. The main mistake which I pointed earlier was that it was too slow for too long.
One of the plus point was that the shark looks more realistic and this part showed attacks much better than the first. And ofcourse, the second half of this part was better than the second half of first part.
Overall, if you want to watch Jaws franchise you can watch first two parts without any hesitation.
