[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 331381, member: 23"] Yeah - they're really disliked. It's like the last seasons of [I]Dallas[/I]. I view all the sequels very fondly. The first time I watched [I]Jaws 2[/I] I was young enough that I could just be grateful for the chance to revisit Amity, and for some time when I was young I actually [I]preferred[/I] it to the original. I've since changed my view on that dramatically, but I still think there's a lot of good stuff as well as a lot of wasted potential. I also read the novel and that helped me love it more. Believe it or not, [I]Jaws 2[/I] is the sequel that disappoints me most on rewatches, because unlike the third and fourth it's the one that could have been great if it hadn't taken so many wrong turns (don't get me started on Scarface The Shark :a2:). [I]Jaws 3-D[/I] was the first Jaws film I watched in the cinema, and my first 3-D film experience. I know it's a bad film, but again because I was so young I just filtered that out and got on board with the fun. I try to always tap into that whenever I watch it. [I]Jaws The Revenge[/I] was yet another different experience (I realise now that my first experience with each [I]Jaws[/I] film is different from the others), because I read most of the novel before seeing the film at the cinema, and that made it a richer experience. Even at the time I watched, I knew it was a bad film (though I didn't get [I]how[/I] bad it was), but I find watching it really nostalgic and almost comforting. Well that's great.
