It's Shark Week on the High Sea of Summer Movies

It's Shark Week on the High Sea of Summer Movies. It's double feature time too JAWS (released in 1975) & JAWS 2 (released in 1978) Jaws I do not have to say much here about this film or give a review on it. It is simply a masterpiece. Jaws is also the start of what is known as the summer blockbuster films. If you have not seen Jaws you are missing out and the question from me to you would be , what planet have you been on that you have never heard of Jaws? Jaws 2 released three years later had a great promo saying to it, "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water..." That was brilliant too bad the movie does suffer. Don't get me wrong I love Jaws 2. There are truly brilliant scenes in the film like the water skier and when Brody finds the body of the woman who was blown up in the water skier's boat. I jumped a mile. The humor was there too. A lot of the supporting cast was back too in Jaws 2. Roy Scheider and Lorraine Gary who plays Scheider's wife in this one and the first movie is brilliant. Ok where this movie suffers is one thing and one thing only. The teenage characters in the film. I understand that they were trying for a younger teenage audience because so many of the "slasher" films of the late 70's involved 16 to 19 year old characters that I think the producers wanted to cash in on that as well in Jaws 2. It doesn't work. I, even as a kid when I saw it in the theaters, was highly irritated by them and the dialog. The characters were not written as well as the adults were in Jaws 2. I thought and always thought that whole story could have been left out. They could have done the ending the same way without the teenagers. Oh well what's done is done. All in all though I still enjoy watching Jaws 2. It's fun and exciting but could have never topped at all the first Jaws. By the way I have seen Jaws 3 and Jaws the Revenge and I will not comment on it but to say one thing, DON'T BOTHER. It's SHARK WEEK on The Discovery Channel and I will and have been glued to the set. Is it wrong of me to route for the shark during Shark Week??? LOL
