  Why do they even waste the film?
  
  Either the people that put this movie out, think that we are all mindless morons, or they think we really like stupid movies. Either way you lose if you buy this movie. This movie has very little in the way of a plot. The so called actors don't know how to act. The only thing good is the music, it starts getting dramatic and you know another laughable scene is coming up. Buy if you have money and time to waste or if you want to give it to someone you don't like buy it.

  Jaws in newyork
  
  This is the sequel to the original. It takes place in a populated area out in new york harbor. Instead out of in the middle of no where. There is a lot of gory not not a lot of action until the very end of the movie. In this movie another mutated octupus enters the Harbor of New York and the killings start again. This was not as interesting because only about a 1/3 to half the movie takes place in the water. The main charaters are normal every day people there are no terrorists or millitary people or secret goverment aggents in this one like there were in the orignal made a year earlier. If you like this movie I recommend you see the other horror movies made by lion gate Octopus. Crocodile 2 Death Swamp, Spider 2 and Frality.

  EIGHT LEGGED FREAK
  
  OCTOPUS 2 is a sequel that isn't a sequel; it has nothing to do with the original, and nothing is ever really said that indicates how this puppy got so big...but, as a run of the mill creature feature, it has its moments. I liked the rapport between partners Walter and Nick (Frederic Lane and Michael Reilly Burke), but found Walter's exit too quick; he had a nice panache the movie never returned. The effects are average; nothing startling, although the decapitation of the Statue of Liberty in a dream sequence was quite cool. The extended rescue of the kids on the bus (after the octopus' demise) was too long and anticlimactic. Not a horrible movie, but it won't make us forget JAWS!

  What were they thinking?
  
  I have to say, this is by far, one of the worst sea creature movies I have seen. I didn't even bother to rent it, I watched it on Scifi. It looked exciting, but I was wrong. The Octopus itself hardly moved at all. Its tentacles were the ones that did the moving. Even if the theory of the movie was right, the octopus being swept from the sea, that would've been wrong if it killed people because Octopuses aregentle creatures and do not grow to enormous sizes. Even the first Octopus made more sense and was a lot more exciting. The only reason why I give it two stars is for the acting. Otherwise this below sea level bugdet film is a stinker.
