1st watched 10/27/2000 - 4 out of 10 (Dir-Jon Hess): Rehash of 'Jaws' story not done near as well with of course an alligator instead of a shark. The performers try to keep it credible but it doesn't work. The alligator doesn't scare us and the story is too typical of this genre.

The alligator doesn't scare us and the story is too typical
Richard Lynch, Steve Railsback, and not much more .........
On No! A toxic chemical dumped into the sewer system by the evil Steve Railsback's evil company, causes a mutant Alligator to threaten a carnival. The local police lead by Joseph Bologna want to shut down the carnival until they can deal with the gigantic annoyance. Railsback on the other hand needs the carnival to help promote his land grab. Obviously "Alligator 2" is not willing to take any chances beyond the obvious "Jaws" formula. What to do? What to do? The answer? Call in an Alligator expert to eliminate the Gator. Enter Richard Lynch along with his Bayou brothers. The blonde enemy of all Gators, fits nicely into the role of a grizzled Alligator hunter. Most definitely Lynch is the best thing "Alligator 2" has going for it, with Railsback a close second. The Alligator doesn't even finish in the top ten, but you already knew that. - MERK
Rather small for a giant alligator.
I enjoyed the first "Alligator", but this one just does not live up to that one. Not that the first one is a superb movie, but it was a lot of fun. This one just is not good at all. The main problem for me was that the alligator was not all that impressive quite frankly. I have seen alligators this size before. The only thing different about it, is the fact it is tougher to kill. The story here isn't good either and neither is the action. They go into the sewers to hunt it then it attacks some festival and then they figure away to kill it. This movie is not going to knock your socks off with buckets of gore and it isn't very interesting either, best just to skip it. It just does not measure up to the first one.
