[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 163870, member: 23"] [I]Jaws 2 [/I]is the sequel that disappoints more profoundly each time I watch it... which is the opposite of the original film. [I]Jaws 3-D[/I] is a cartoon. We know that. From the moment the titles roll with their cheesy graphics we know what to expect. And we're in on the joke. And it's hard for [I]Jaws The Revenge [/I]to further disappoint once you've seen it once. Blame for any damage beyond that lies entirely on the viewer for watching it a second, third or fifteenth time (fool that I am, I fall into the latter category and willingly carry the burden of my morbid fascination with it). But [I]Jaws 2 [/I]lures us in by being full of East Coast promise and then not delivering. This review - contemporaneous with [I]Jaws 2[/I]'s original release - [I] i[/I]s absolutely spot-on, I think... [url=http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,919780,00.html]Quite simply, it is an almost scientific exercise in showbiz mediocrity. This smooth and passionless spectacle is too impersonal to win anyone's affection and too inoffensive to inspire hatred.[/url] [/QUOTE]
