Inferior to the first movie but certainly entertaining. Solid #2 in the series to be sure.
The story goes that Roy Schneider was still under contract by Universal at the time and was forced to make the sequel (which he hated) but you couldn't tell in the film.
Once again, his performance is the highlight of the film. He's excellent. The film does well enough to avoid the same re-hash of the prior film though the formula is the same. This time the Mayor is more cautious. How to prove there's a shark is different and of course the death scene is creative too.
Another well done film, worth the re-watch.
