I don't get it

Rating: 3/10 (15 September 2005)

I saw this movie for the first time 30 years after it came out, and now I remember why I never bothered to see it in the first place: because I imagined its plot would be predictably boring, and that the shark's behavior would belie it's true nature, that is, it is not a real shark. A real shark wouldn't do the things that mechanical shark did, and I simply wasn't able to suspend my disbelief for two hours so I could enjoy this film.
Like most modern films, this one has only one simple idea. Spielberg proceeds to beat you over the head with this idea: There is a big killer shark in that water! And as the film goes on, it gets bigger and bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sequel titled "Jaws Attacks the Titanic."
