With Bruce the Shark constantly breaking down,Williams' score became the monster.
What Spielberg couldn’t be convinced of was to directJaws 2.

That chill-inducing beat is there, but faster now and thicker due to its heavier brass sound.
This was a great approach because inJaws 2we see the shark a lot more.
The firstJawsis more serious and filled with adult characters.
It might be rated PG, but there is no doubt that it’s a horror movie.
If you walked in during this scene you’d never know you were watching aJawsmovie.
It’s a joyful summer vacation ripped apart by bloodshed.
John Williams bounces back and forth between dark and light because of this.
Now,if only he could have returned forJaw 3-DandJaws: The Revenge.
Those disasters could have used all the help they could get.
