Why It's Great[]
- It does everything it can to capture the feel of the original, which is more than what you could say about the next two followups
- Some of the original actors return, including Roy Scheider as Chief Brody
- It really gets us rooting for Brody to defeat the shark and rescue the teenagers
- Having teenagers isolated in the middle of the ocean with a killer shark and only a string of boats tied together really ups the ante, and makes us hope that Brody rescues them in time
- The shark attacks are always a thrill to watch
