One of the extras from FINland. Thankfully, we get to see more folks gnawed on as a result. Notice how some kids are looking in one direction and others are looking in another. While the first film was all about buildup and character development, this one takes a more direct approach to the suspense. We already know it's a shark and already know what it looks like.
Nobody is safe, from folks enjoying a nice ski to boaters to helicopter pilots.
There's no Quint or Hooper to provide humor, interplay, and depth. The relationship stuff between the Brody's and their kids is fine, but no substitute for the classic conversations and situations from the first one. Scheider prepares for his 'Seaquest' role. Directorially, last minute replacement director Jeannot Szwarc has done a nice job and there's some really nice photography here. This is nice.
