I know what you mean but I'm sure that if Jaws 2 had another third act focused solely on an isolated trio of interesting mature-age characters struggling together like that on a boat again it would have been criticised all the same as not original itself.
shareyeah but it had new stuff to replace them.
ie kids in boats
I stubbornly miss Quint and Hooper. But this is a different story.
In one of the extras on the DVD, it's said that when the first director bailed, Steven Spielberg was willing to step in if he could start over and include Matt Hooper. I would've liked that.
But looking back, it turned out for the best. It's ultimately Chief Brody's story. He's going it alone with no one believing in or supporting him. It's very effective.
brody and tina make up for this methink
jaws 2 is great sequel. one of the goat sequels
They could’ve fleshed out the teenage characters more. Dazed and confused with a shark has a lot of potential.
