KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Michael_Elliott Shark Attack 2 (2001)** 1/2 (out of 4) Don't let the title fool you because even though they're selling this as a sequel to the 1999 movie this here is actually a remake of JAWS 3. Let's see if this plot reminds you of anything. We have a new water park open and its greedy owner likes the idea of capturing a Great White shark that recently killed a woman. They're able to get the creature in for opening day but it kills a man and breaks free from the park so the doctor at the park must team up with a TV personality to try and kill not one but six mutant sharks. The mutant shark part is the only thing that connects this to the first film. I'll admit up front that I love sharks and this movie was entertaining enough to get its job done and it's certainly a lot better than JAWS 3. What shocked me so much is that Universal went to court over some Italian rips and got them pulled from theaters and these films have never shown up on official releases in America yet here's a movie that rips off just about everything storywise and yet nothing is done about it. And that's a good thing because as long as you don't take this thing too seriously you should have fun watching it. This is a step up from the first movie for a number of reasons but the biggest is that we get a lot more shark attacks this time out. Yes, we're still seeing stock footage of sharks but there are a couple dummies here as well. One of the dummies is pretty funny because it's obviously just a blown up rubber shark and it's certainly way too big for what's going on in the scene. Another one of the sharks appears to be some sort of cut out but I couldn't tell what kind. The shark attacks are a little better done here as well, although it's still an obvious fake shark that is biting down. In one of the attacks it appears that the shark is gargling the victims blood, which is something I don't think I've seen in any other shark movie. Thorsten Kaye plays the main doctor and is good enough for the part. Nikita Ager plays a victim's sister but she comes off quite annoying from start to finish and her relationship with the doctor isn't very believable. Those wanting high class productions aren't going to enjoy this thing but if you're a fan of the genre and get an added kick out of shark movies then there's enough here to make it worth viewing at least once.

Wizard-8 It's hard to believe that the first "Shark Attack" movie was popular enough to justify making this sequel. It's also hard to believe that this sequel was popular enough to justify making a part 3! Anyway, it's nice to see a Nu Image movie filmed in South Africa that's actually set in South Africa (though the credits reveal some of the movie was filmed in Bulgaria.) And a few shots look fairly slick, though there are also some real cheap-looking moments, not just because the movie is filled with an ample amount of stock footage. The movie also rips off several elements from the original "Jaws" movie, even recreating a famous moment using the zoom lens of the camera! But the biggest problem with the movie is that it isn't very exciting or involving. There is a curious casual feeling to much of the movie, much of this coming from the fact the movie runs way too slow for its own good.

Vomitron_G I caught this one on TV some time ago and no I wasn't expecting anything of it. And that's exactly what I got out of it: Nothing. Some strange chemical phenomenon in my brain makes sure that I keep watching this tripe, even though I've had it up to here with all those cheap shark-crap-movies made around the turn of this millennium. I saw the first Casper Van Dien "Crap Attack" fest, and thought it pretty much sucked (actually, I think it sucked, as it was that forgettable I just can't remember what it went like). And so did this one, sucky & crappy. I admit, it was kind of fun to see all the clichés and the typical plot elements & holes unfold before my eyes and the cast did their best with what was given (I guess), but they were all not much of big talents. Plastic shark-heads popping out of the water and underwater CGI-sharks that are less menacing then the ones in "Finding Nemo". We've all seen that before. So yes, I know, if I knew I was going to nag about the amazing "Shark Attack 2", then why did I decide to watch it anyway? Well, it's like getting sh!t-faced drunk: once in a while doesn't hurt, right? And the day after, you can nag about your headache.

redhead9898 First, the back of the tape says Sam's last name is 'Sharp' but it says it is 'Peterson'.Anyway, this is a great shark film, but the shark looks fake in some scenes, but it is a low budget film about sharks attacking people, so it is okay.Acting is okay, just barely violence, and language. But, does not effect the film, what so ever. Okay, better then 1st and 3rd, so i would have to say the best in the 'shark attack' series. It was worth the 4 bucks for the tape, since i had never seen this one of the series before.Great shark attack film, although only two woman in the film.9/10 fabulous stars
