Why It's Great[]

  1. 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
  2. Some of the original actors return, including Roy Scheider as Chief Brody
  3. It really gets us rooting for Brody to defeat the shark and rescue the teenagers
  4. 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
  5. The shark attacks are always a thrill to watch
