Seconds anybody?: Basically; it happened again to the inhabitants of Amity Island are having another great white shark problem; Chief Martin Brody [Roy Scheider:] he is up for another battle even though it is a different shark, but not enough of the right people, believe it is happening again.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 116 minutes film is well what do you want me to say? So much of this film nothing happens, even the personality of this shark is lacking from the aspect of; sometimes we do or do not have the build up of attack "Jaws – Main Title," yes in some cases you could make the argument of surprise attack, which I get it but I don't have to like it, I prefer personality over cheap jumps.

Action/Art; this is also very lacking; I know we get the waterskis scene/sequence which is good, but we have to wait until so much later on for this film to actually feel and look like a Jaws film and don't get me wrong this great white shark looks excellent. But for the action or/and art having to wait for things consistently kick into a higher gear is just another major downer.

Character developments and performances; the character developments on one side drive me absolutely insane, because no one of key positions within this community is at the very least open to the idea of this situation may or may not be happening again, I would accept that if this was the first film, but as it is a sequel; you would be thinking hold on if it can happen once, it could happen again. Whilst on the other side they are a reliable versions of what they are meant to be and it should be noted that Roy Scheider as Chief Martin Brody is absolutely the driving force behind this sequel.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; it has enough about it not to go into the poor section of my rating system. I mean if you haven't seen this film, you may want to watch it on your way through to the third film and so on to the fourth.
