Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws

I have seen the 2013 movie "Ghost Shark" and wasn't particularly impressed with it. Little did I know that they actually made a sequel to that movie two years later. Now in 2020 I was presented with the chance to sit down and watch the 2015 "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws". And since I haven't already seen this, of course I opted to watch it.

Granted, my expectations were slim to none for the movie, as the first movie wasn't all that impressive.

Lo and behold, "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws" was a horrible movie through and through. The storyline was just atrocious, and felt like something that directors Johnny Hall and Andrew Todd just came up with as they went along and were shooting the movie. It was a super weak plot line, and the characters were just pointless.

And as far as this movie being called "Ghost Shark", well you hardly see the actual ghost shark for a whole minute throughout the entire movie if you count the on-screen-time together. The ghost shark actually felt like it was a mere backdrop to base a pointless storyline upon. And when you actually do get to see the shark, you just gawk at it in disbelieve. It was a still image of a translucent shark. Yeah. It didn't even move, except for some horrible floating around on the screen. The CGI team - if they had one - didn't even bother to animate a shark to make it look just a bit realistic and life-like. No, they just went with a copy and paste solution.

Some of us suffered through the ordeal that is known as "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws", so you don't have to. And trust me, you don't want to. Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this stinker.

My rating of "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws" is a staggering one out of ten stars. This is definitely among the top 10 of horrible movies I have had the misfortune of sitting through.

Not even worth watching out of curiosity. Such an amateurish piece of tripe it doesn't warrant even 69 minutes of your time. Move along.

The first Ghost Shark was a low-budget delight that clearly established its rules and stuck to its hilarious and outrageous formula with lousy CGI and acting that just added to the fun. But Ghost Shark 2 ignored everything that made the first movie fun. The idea of bringing ghost sharks to a large urban center was promising, but it failed by rewriting the rules established in the first one and, in fact, didn't connect to the original movie at all. It also felt like it was shot in someone's backyard. Ghost Shark 2 wasn't a low-budget movie; it was a no-budget movie. I highly recommend the first Ghost Shark and highly recommend avoiding the second.

After watching this movie i'm more than sure it has been mislabeled. This has to be a satirical take on an action movie.

The main character has reach and does a great job of playing a schizophrenic or PTSD sufferer. But he looks cool doing it, I mean the way he carries that backpack. They also did a fair bit of research when it came to shark anatomy so props to that.

There's so many choices that are never explained but really catch your eye. Me and my GF were really impressed with the acting and came to the conclusion that if they didn't break throughout the filming of this movie they would be our next picks for the next SNL draft.

Defs watchable, and if they would have marketed it as a satirical take on a Michael Bay flick it would have at least 6 stars.

Great film with a ghost shark that kills peoble thrugh water
