Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

For one sharks don't roar and Deep Blue Sea was a lot cooler and this movie ripped Deep Blue Sea. I am not going to give this away but hell it's a good for a $2 rental at a video store and for a party if you want to get a little buzzed and make sick jokes when someone become lunch. Some might have spoilers but I am going to give an aspect of the first scene in the film the female lead character watches her sister get carried away feet in the mouth. Dinner served but that's all I am giving you. This is one of those movies where it gives sharks a bad name but the at least you don't see the strings.You don't need to watch Shark Attack One to watch this one but I don't know how this movie came to be or the director misses the injokes. Red Water is much better in how it's made and the plausible elements how they made the shark makes you wonder how they did it.

Off the coast of South Africa, two attractive female scuba-divers are attacked by a toothy shark. One survives, the other does not. A week later, muscle-bound marine biologist Thorsten Kaye (as Nick Harris) is asked by the "Water World" amusement park promoters to capture a great white shark and exhibit it in an aquarium as a tourist attraction. Reluctantly, Mr. Kaye delivers the shark. Beautiful blonde Nikita Ager (as Samantha "Sam" Peterson) recognizes the captured shark as the one who killed her sister during the opening minutes. She tries to kill the animal, but does not succeed. Huge crowds gather to see the only great white shark in captivity... Raise your hand if you think this public killer shark aquarium idea won't end well...This follow-up to "Shark Attack" (1999) is much more like a "Jaws" (1975) sequel... "Shark Attack II" is not great, but it's much better than the first "Shark Attack". Herein, the sharks are stated to be versions of the mutants in the first movie. Other than that, there is no real reason for this to even be a sequel. Probably, at the time, the words "Shark Attack" were a sales incentive on their own. It's very likely "Nu Image Films" opted to protect their rights to the title. In any case, this story is acceptable, at least. With occasional rubber props, director David Worth manage to get leading man Kaye on a water scooter to jump the shark. Australian TV adventurer Dan Metcalfe (as Roy Bishop) lends good support and Ms. Ager is drop-dead gorgeous.**** Shark Attack II (2000-12-05) David Worth ~ Thorsten Kaye, Nikita Ager, Dan Metcalfe, Danny Keogh

I caught this one on TV some time ago and no I wasn't expecting anything of it. And that's exactly what I got out of it: Nothing. Some strange chemical phenomenon in my brain makes sure that I keep watching this tripe, even though I've had it up to here with all those cheap shark-crap-movies made around the turn of this millennium. I saw the first Casper Van Dien "Crap Attack" fest, and thought it pretty much sucked (actually, I think it sucked, as it was that forgettable I just can't remember what it went like). And so did this one, sucky & crappy. I admit, it was kind of fun to see all the clichés and the typical plot elements & holes unfold before my eyes and the cast did their best with what was given (I guess), but they were all not much of big talents. Plastic shark-heads popping out of the water and underwater CGI-sharks that are less menacing then the ones in "Finding Nemo". We've all seen that before. So yes, I know, if I knew I was going to nag about the amazing "Shark Attack 2", then why did I decide to watch it anyway? Well, it's like getting sh!t-faced drunk: once in a while doesn't hurt, right? And the day after, you can nag about your headache.

I had to browse through my own user comments in order to double-check whether or not if I saw the original "Shark Attack". I must have deliberately banished it from my memory, because apparently I have seen it and 'rewarded' it with the lowest possible score you can give here on this site, as well as a not-so-praising review. Gradually whilst watching this sequel, my memory started coming back and bits and pieces of that horrible, horrible dud starring Casper Van Dien flashed before my eyes. The good news, however, is that part two is *slightly* better and a hell of a lot more entertaining than the first. "Shark Attack 2" still is a terribly tacky and nonsensical movie (full of atrocious acting, lousy effects, etc…) but the screenplay at least respects the good old formula of numerous shark killings and hot girls in bikini purposelessly parading on sunny beaches! The first film revolved on genetically altered sharks used for the development of a cancer vaccine. Okay …. Boring! Luckily the genetic aspect is just a small footnote in the second film, and the plot mainly follows the story of some people (mega-stereotypes) trying to kill a school of great white sharks before they devour all surfers in Cape Town; South Africa. The unofficial 'leader' of the fierce shark-bunch already escaped from a brand new Sea Life aquarium and ate an employee in front of several kids (haha!) and now he and his ravenous pals are ready to brutally interrupt the annual surfing contest in Cape Town. After some bickering and typical macho contests, one heroic doctor, one dumb Steve Irwin wannabe and one cute but incredibly blond sister of the shark's last victim join forces together and hunt the animals down. All sequences exhibiting the great white sharks are hilarious. They're either borrowed footage from all kind of National Geographic documentaries or, during the actual attack-related scenes, mechanical devices that don't look the least bit convincing. The use of CGI isn't much better, neither. The dialogs and acting performances are arguably the weakest aspect of the film, but it's definitely fun to observe. The hero's heart-breaking story of how he was once the victim of a shark attack and the complementary moral of 'all animals deserve to live' is likely to evoke more laughs than anything else you've ever heard before in any movie. The Steve Irwin bloke is just pitiable, especially because he occasionally forgets he's supposed to talk with an Australian accent. Nikita Ager is unquestionably a ravishing woman, looking like a crossover between Baywatch-babes Pamela Anderson and Erika Elaniak, but she has limited acting skills and the world's most irritating voice. Luckily enough, she just nods most of the time and shows off her very impressive balcony in tight tops and even tighter diving outfits. Quite a large part of the film exists of pure and gratuitous padding footage, presumably to promote the touristy areas of Cape Town (Table Mountain, Camps Bay, The Waterfront…) Nothing wrong with that; I've been there and it truly is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
