[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 331413, member: 23"] What I find interesting is that both [I]Jaws[/I] and [I]Jaws 2[/I] had very troubled productions, but while those troubles worked against the second film they helped make the original film even better. A good part of that was Steven Spielberg's ingenuity and creativity in working around the problems they had. [I]Jaws 2[/I], for me, is really about a potential that's never quite met. It's really strong in places and it could have been the film I used to think it was when I was younger (if that makes any sense). I'd love to have seen original [I]Jaws 2 [/I]director's version of the film, which was said to be much darker. That's a great way of putting it and, yes, that sums up how I feel about it as well. Oh yikes. That must have been scary. I remember watching with my parents and my Mum physically backed away when the water from the syringe squirted at the screen. I also remember eating lots of Shredded Wheat because they did a [I]Jaws 3-D [/I]version where there were four different 3-D comic strips to collect from the sides of the pack (the cardboard 3-D glasses were inside the packs). I'd never have dreamt back then that one day there'd be a 3-D Blu-ray version I'd be able to watch at home. I had to snap that one up! Yes, I think people like to pile on them, mainly because they were such high profile films. Of course, there are many far, far worse films that get little to no criticism from most people. Amen to that, DFF. :gotcha: [/QUOTE]
