Great White in great film

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2004)

(SPOILERS!)
The plot: Girl goes swimming at night, gets killed by shark, the police chief Brody decides that the beaches need to be closed, but the greedy mayor leaves them open for the Fourth of July weekend. Eventually another person(a boy on a raft) bites the dust in a violent death that leads to a reward for $3,000. Then a shark expert(named Hooper) flies in to investigate, and the local eccentric sea captain Quint joins with marine biologist and police chief to go out and kill the big old fish after a few more deaths.
Needless to say, there's a few screw-ups, including: The severe underestimation of the killer's strength by Quint. A poison dart that misses its mark. Quint's death... which leads to an awesome finale, in which Brody blows the shark's head up with an oxygen tank. "Smile, you son of a-" Then the happy ending in which Brody and Hooper swim back to shore. THE END. But wait! Three sequels!
If you get past the obviously fake shark, and focus on the good(which there's lots of), you have a five-star film, which is one of my personal, all-time favorites.
Five out of five.
