Better than the previous movie, but still basically just rubbish...

The 2022 movie "Bull Shark" was a pretty terrible movie, so I have to say that I wasn't exactly harboring the biggest of expectations to this 2024 sequel. But with it being a shark movie, and a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and check it out.Turns out that this movie was slightly better than the previous movie, but it was still a pretty lousy movie. The storyline in the movie is flaccid and forgettable. In fact, you can leave the movie for a prolonged period of time, then return and still be up to speed with the events. Yeah, writer and director Brett Bentman didn't exactly pen down the most riveting and exciting of scripts and storylines here.Actors Thom Hallum and Billy Blair return to reprise their characters in this sequel. But I have to say that while actor Billy Blair is a good enough actor, then I didn't buy into the fact that his character Nolan Holt was supposed to be a wild game warden, no sir, not even for a second. The acting performances in "Bull Shark 2" were fair.Visually then the movie wasn't outstanding. There wasn't exactly much of any special effects throughout the course of the movie.If you manage to sit through all 75 minutes that the movie runs for, prepare yourself for a royal slap to the face with a cold, dead fish once you get to see the ending. It was such a predictable and laughably bad ending.Ultimately, don't waste your time on "Bull Shark 2", it just wasn't worth the effort, not even if you enjoy shark movies, like I do.My rating of writer and director Brett Bentman's 2024 movie "Bull Shark 2" lands on a most generous two out of ten stars.

Hallum is decent, film is shocking.

A trip of youngsters foolishly go out onto the lake, none of them return, unfortunately Spencer Timms has retired, but one of the victim's mother persuades him to track the shark down.It's just devoid of any action, apart from that opening sequence with the three people on the boat, nothing much else happens, it's just a very talky, slow moving film.It really does remind me of Jaws 2 in more ways than one, not just talk of electrocuting the wretched CGI abomination. At times the second Bull sh** does look like a plastic float, and that scene where the shark is shot, rolls over and plunges into the depths is hilarious.If you're a fan of Thom Hallum, then it's worth watching, he's decent, he puts his all in, he's a good looking guy, he does at least add a little something.I have the first one some praise, I can't find much to lavish on this one, unfortunately it's a very poor follow up.3/10.

I thought the original, 'Bull Shark', was actually decent except for the stupid ending. Unfortunately, in this lame effort, the stupidity extended to the entire movie. As with the original, I didn't think the acting was bad if you disqualify the first male character we meet. I imagine he won't be getting hired again anytime soon with this in his portfolio. But from the opening attack, which is totally unbelievable, to the completely inane final scene, this film is filled with one head-shaker after another. One of the worst features is the shark graphics. Which appear to be out of a first-generation video game. I don't think the shark they show is even a bull shark. At one point, the thing even changes shape. Also, it appears to be a baby, which would make the amount of attacking it does rather suspect. On top of that, in this huge 300 mile lake (I think that's what was said in the first film), the thing appears to occupy a 50 ft radius. And there's not much to the film other than the quest to kill the shark, which again, is done in a really stupid manner. Definitely not a successful sequel. I can't believe there is yet another one.

Jaws came out in 1975 and Jaws 2 in 1978. It's now 2025 and it seems anyone with a camera and some digital software needs to show the world how much better their duma$$ shark movie is than Spielberg's. Thanks, but no.
