Once again the peace of Amity and the lives of the Brody family are shattered by a bloodthirsty shark in this suspense-packed sequel to the original classic chiller. Lorraine Gray reprises her role as the now widowed Ellen Brody who finds herself reliving the horrors of the past when a mammoth shark kills her son. Grief-stricken, she travels to the Bahamas to be with her other son, a marine biologist (Lance Guest), and his family. There she meets and falls for a carefree airplane pilot (Michael Caine). But just as she is putting her life back together, the nightmare of the past returns when her granddaughter is attacked by an all-too-familiar Great White. Determined to end the terror once and for all, Ellen sets out for a showdown to the death. The action and tension build rapidly to a shattering climax in this, the most incredible Jaws adventure of them all. And this time, it's personal!

My Thoughts:
I figured after buying this out of the Walmart Bargain Bin 6 years ago that it was about time I watched it. Problem is.... after buying it I heard that it really sucked. Oh well at least I go into it with low expectations. While I wouldn't say it is a terrible movie.... there is a lot of room for improvement here! This movie has Michael Caine in it. And to me he has always been a mixed bag... some things I like him in and others I don't. In this case I didn't like him all that much. But of course in this case it could be the material he had to work with. I think in this case it was too much of the slow boring stuff and not enough of the action. I mean if the story was half as interesting as the first Jaws then it wouldn't have been as bad... but it just wasn't.

Another movie I am disappointed in. I bought it, because I am a fan of Zooey Deschanel and Christopher Lloyd. The movie feels like a Clerks ripoff without the witty dialog. Christopher Lloyd plays essentially his Taxi character.
Next I will have to watch a movie I know I like from my unwatched pile before I loose interest in this marathon
