I'm going to annoy a lot of people here in saying this, but I actually favour this one over the original. Maybe it's the more straightforward slasher movie-type feel. I myself consider the First Movie the Very Best but I do like the 2nd Movie as well and I agree with you, This Movie most definitely has a Slasher Movie feel to it.

Sure, its not as good as the original, but I think its a good horror movie.

Another moment I like is when he is getting the film developed and we can make out the eye and teeth of the shark.

The original is one of my favorite movies, and it's close to without flaw, but sometimes I prefer watching the sequel. Like some have said, it does have some of the slasher feel to it and it's kinda sloppy, but that's also its charm. In a way, it has much higher replay value than the first one. The water-skiing sequence was very well done and Eddie's death was the most suspenseful. Though the shark would have to have pulled off a kick turn to have spun around in the water like that. Either that, or swim backwards, which I don't think sharks do.

I think that you are right, It really is in a lot of ways. Especially that whole entire scene where the Shark attacks the woman that was skiing and then the woman that was pulling her in the motor boat.

This sequel doesn't always get the respect it deserves, and people see things differently, so I get that. This video captures a real original audience reaction, and It's clearly enthralled. I think It's mainly kids and teenagers, sounds like. The producers wanted a less bloody sequel to make sure a younger audience could add to the box office. Have you noticed, there is NO BLOOD in this movie?! It could have used some Spielberish finesse here and there, but it had some great suspenseful sequences, totally cashing in on the nation-wide fear of sharks, but also, nothing quite like it had ever come before. This sequel really did influence many films to follow, it's clear to see now.

That was the first scene that sprung to mind when I made my last post.

Okay you're right, but there were no big geysers like in the first one.
