“Jaws 2” Review

Jaws 2: Directed by Jeannot Szwarc. With Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, Joseph Mascolo. Police chief Brody must protect the citizens of Amity after a second monstrous shark begins terrorizing the waters.

Spielberg is out, but Roy Scheider is back as the chief of police who clearly has PTSD from events of first movie and is dealing with it the best way a guy in the late ’70’s can: shooting his gun at a seaweed patch in the middle of a crowded beach. The mayor is way too lackadaisical about the shark attacks and I honestly wish he would be one of the ones that eventually gets eaten, but no such luck here. I didn’t care for the large portion of the story that involved the kids sailing off into the deep all by themselves, but the resolution of their storyline (and the sharks!) is pretty satisfying, if all too silly.
