[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 331392, member: 13221"] Yes, very much so! And it pains me to agree LOL The funny thing is the sequels have grown on me now over the years, even the last two. If I’m flipping the channels and there they are, I can’t turn them off. Maybe it’s nostalgia, having seen them so young, I don’t know. Are they great films? Of course not, yet I do still find them very entertaining. As soon as I finally caught the original in 1992, I watched Jaws 2 a couple of weeks later. I really liked it then.

I think it makes for a pretty solid sequel, but when I see it now I guess I view the gap between it and the original as being a little wider than I did back then.
