It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

After a captured Great White escapes from a sea park, a former biologist and a victims' sister find their quarry is part of a school of genetically-engineered sharks and must team with a TV-show host to stop them from attacking more.This turned out to be quite a fun if slightly cheesy killer shark effort. What really works here is the fact that this one gets some nice shark action throughout here as this one plenty of action along the way. It even manages to switch nicely from suspenseful to cheesy, as the opening ocean-going attack on the sister and the first attack on the worker in front of the tourists come off as highly suspenseful scenes as the ocean attack features the stalking through the wrecked ruins while the tank attack is based off the struggle to get out of the water before being eaten as the whole thing is in front of children and a news-crew. There's also plenty of cheesy action here that comes off every nicely, from the capture of the shark as well as the escape attempt of it swimming into the sea afterwards, while the film's two big highlight scenes work in a nice mixture of both as the underwater cage attack works with the brutality of the sharks' relentless banging into the cages and the slow realization of the flimsy cage not holding them out with the goofy shark heads coming through and dragging them away, while the other big scenes here is the great attack on the surfing contest where the high body-count and the action is immensely fun and enjoyable that gets fun again with the relentless action here that it comes off rather well. Even the finale in the cave ins incredibly thrilling battling with the different creatures in and around the caves, even through this here does come with what is the film's only real flaw here in the laughable special effects here. While it's not the fault of the live-action stock-footage which comes of really well and is integrated nicely into here, but overall there's little else here that works about the sharks. The CGI looks best here where it's not noticeably obvious, but the prop-heads are pretty cheesy-looking, never once betray their rubber nature and always configured into the same position that carries on for each scene that runs itself into the ground by featuring the same thing which really ruins the effect. These here are what hold this one back considerably.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity and a mild sex scene.

When Water World want to capture a Great White Shark too be their latest attraction, business is looking up until the Shark claims it's latest victim in a person who works at Water World and who's job it is to feed the shark. When all the visitors see the death of this man, Water World must act quickly. However things get from bad to worse when the shark escapes through the gate and gets loose into the ocean. It is now up to a Marine biologist, a girl who has come face to face with the shark when it killed her sister one week prior to these events and a Australian TV presenter who has his own show on the discovery channel.This film starred: Thorsten Kaye, Nikita Ager & Daniel Alexander.Shark Attack 2 was released in 2000, one year after the first film. I hated the first film, I found it absolutely awful. It was boring and very very cheap and it showed. Shark Attack 2 was even worse, the actors are awful. When the shark kills someone the blood is purple when you see it in the ocean. This is probably the second worst film I have ever seen behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Please, I beg you don't watch this film otherwise you may want to remove your eyes with a spoon.*/***** One of the worst films ever.

Shark attack 1 was a film that was almost devoid of positive aspects. It had Casper Van Starship Trooper, but that was about it. Not much Shark action, not much gore, not much of anything...Luckily for folks like me (drunken bald types) Shark Attack 2 UPS the sharks stakes by giving us multiple sharks overdubbed with roaring lions! And very little continuity between the stock footage sharks and the bright blue plastic sharks attacking the cast! And the usual terrible Nu-image half arsed production! Shark Attack two is exponentially more eventful than the first one. You've actually got sharks killing folks, which happened seldom in the first one. You've also got ridiculous dubbing, really bad CGI, terrible (but welcome) gore, and a film so aware of its own crapness that you can't help but enjoy it.You know what I mean by 'enjoy', don't you?

"Shark Attack 2" continues the trend of crazed / mutant / deformed animals attacking humans in the horror sub-genre. A sub-genre that never really seems to produce anything decent - there are a few exceptions of course, like Megalodon: Shark Attack 3 (am I joking?) but Shark Attack 2 is pretty awful.When a great white shark kills Samantha Peterson's (Nikita Ager) sister, Michael Fancisco (Danny Keogh) the owner of a new aquarium / amusement park wants it captured and put on display. Dr. Nick Harris (hottie Thorsten Kaye) knows that it is a bad idea, but does as his employer requests, which only leads to another series of people killed by sharks - sharks that now swim in a group (oh, and they roar). Nick and Samantha have a romance that blossom and are joined on their shark hunt by Roy Bishop (Daniel Alexander), an Australian animal documentary maker.The acting is decent enough for this kind of movie from Kaye, Ager and Alexander, but the film is quite clearly of low production values and over all not that exciting. It's also plagued by a terrible score and a couple of painful songs, and as with Shark Attack 3, plenty of ancient stock shark footage from documentaries is inserted throughout the film and none of the killings are graphic. It's a shame Kaye didn't get to wear his wetsuit a bit more - that would have made the movie a lot more exciting.
