I've never seen Deep Blue Sea, but my second favorite shark movie is, believe it or not, Jaws: The Revenge. Yeah, yeah.

Both are entertaining films. Deep Blue Sea is more of an thriller, while Jaws 2 is more like a drama.

Deep Blue is a fun Renny Harlin ride with Tom Jane slipping around the whole movie, and LL Cool J and his damn bird. It'll fake you out a few times, but it ain't bad.

Jaws 2 still carries the vibe of the first one, so I don't know why people don't like it so much. It still had Roy Sheider, plus a young Keith Gordon when he was still an actor.

Personally? I'm not sure which I give the edge to. I think these two would be the main contenders (fuck Sharknado), and since Jaws is already the best, I think I might pick Deep Blue Sea by a hair.


The trailer to part 2 looks pretty decent for a DTV movie, but it'll probably be okay at best.

I will give the edge to Deep Blue Sea..

Jaws 2. Part of that's because I'm a big fan of Roy Scheider. He's great in everything I've seen him in and Jaws 2 is no exception. I also always enjoy the shark's death in 2. It's a different death from the original and manages to be just as memorable.

However, Deep Blue Sea isn't bad, especially for a late '90s horror movie. It's cheesy fun. The sequel looks okay, but not sure I'll ever watch it.

His hat is like a shark fin" (What does that even mean?)

It means his lid is mad expensive swag, son!

The Shallows (2016)

Deep Blue Sea. I fondly remember buying the VHS at Wal-mart along with The Sixth Sense on the same trip.

Jaws 2 is a decent sequel, but without Hooper and especially Robert Shaw's Quint for Brody to interact with, it's just average. Nothing special, and that's a letdown after how perfect the original Jaws was.

Jaws 2 for me, it was the 2nd film I ever saw at the cinemas as a kid so nostalgia is a factor for me. I never thought much for Deep Blue Sea but I guess it could warrant a rewatch, plus I've never been a fan of Licking Lips Cool J.

Drama at its finest
