Shark Attack 2

There isn't much good to say about Shark Attack II if you ask me. One of the nicest things you will probably hear me say about this film is: 'Ive seen worse.' which by the way is the absolute truth. But unfortunately having seen worse is not an excuse for poor film-making. The acting, while bad is certainly as abominable in a way that will make you laugh throughout the film. I'll give the filmmakers that, but basically THAT'S IT. That's all the credit I'll give them...plus that they shot some nice shark footage perhaps. When the evil beasts get into action gear it becomes a whole other story though: you can actually see cardboard shark-heads on those occasions...which is really sad. I mean Jaws (30 years ago my friends) had better shark effect than this film, so if you're into watching a shark hunting exercise I suggest you watch that one (again). If you're drawn by the story (yes they pretend to have one) about genetically mutated sharks I suggest you stick to Deep Blue Sea, which has a somewhat similar premise and to be honest, this one could actually have been 'Deep Blue Sea 2: The Ones that got away'. What really kills this film in the end though are the roaring sharks...come on people this isn't 'Godzilla takes a dive' this is a shark film and sharks don't roar...they bite...and so does this film.

I love creature flicks - especially Shark movies ! I had already seen the original "Shark Attack" film and just had to see this follow up ! As direct to video movies go - it ain't that bad - some neat underwater photography and shark attack sequences - The acting is pretty lame but this is not exactly "Oscar" material !Some of the actual shark effects are pretty hilarious - they almost look inflatable and at one point the shark looks like a small "wind up" toy you would play with in the bath ! Overall - not bad for a night in with your mates and a few beers !!

Put those two movies together, and you got Shark Attack 2. Although I did not see the first Shark Attack movie, I seriously doubt I will. Even though the actors seem to do pretty well. The story falls flat on itself, because if you saw Jaws and Deep Blue Sea, well you know what I'm talking about. It's right up there with Jaws:The Revenge. It might has been called Jaws:The Next Generation.

In this film, there is a scene where two kids are playing with a radio-controlled boat. I was one of those kids (the older one) and as someone who was actually in the film, take this from me: this film is BAD. There are 2 reasons i've watched this movie more than once: the fact that on the beach scenes, I can spot many people I know messing about in the background, and the fact that it is hilarious to watch as a whole.

The continuity errors, the growling sharks, the bad acting and the cheesy, dubbed "american" accents (since when did South Africans have American accents??!!! Even i was dubbed over!) make it a laugh-a-minute B-Movie not to be taken seriously. So, as much as it pains me, i would have to recommend this movie to all B-Movie fanatics and anyone wanting a laugh.

And just for interests sake, the building used for the "WATER WORLD" aquarium was recently torn down as it had become derelict and was a home for crack-heads. ;)!

I watched this film in disbelief that anyone would choose Jaws 3 and remake it!......Of course they rip off other shark movies along the way but the "highlight" was when our hero is on the beach watching people surfing and swimming and the film-makers actually have the nerve to copy the reverse dolly shot as used in jaws when Brodie sees the shark attack. Spielberg should sue them! Having said that the film is not that bad......The two main leads are OK and could go on to do better movies. All the Hollywood films Creature Features are at least good for a laugh in a cheap and cheerful way. But Jaws this aint!
