Movie Info
Despite being a less well-regarded virtual remake of the original film, Jaws 2 earned a tidy sum at the box office by combining its predecessor's winning formula with the popular teen horror craze, helping to spawn the era of blockbuster sequels. Roy Scheider returns as Sheriff Martin Brody, whose small resort town of Amity is poised to bounce back from the economic hardship it encountered after becoming widely known as the site of vicious shark attacks.

Nowhere near as good as the first, and lacks the traces of true stupidity that make the latter two fun bad movies.
Rather redundant, rather biting. What, fish again?! Still, not a bad sequel.
Roy Scheider is the only redeeming quality of this sequel.
A vastly underrated sequel with plenty of shocks and nail-biting tension. Not quite up to the original, but still loads of fun.
Delivers [Nearly] as much as the first
The first of three crummy sequels unworthy of the original.
