Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2006)

I know it's a cliché, but for as good as this movie is, the book is much better. The movie scared me, but the book kept me from swimming for a summer (maybe I shouldn't have read it at the lake). Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss are great as usual. I love Robert Shaw in these roles.
The photography was wonderful. It's too bad the shark doesn't look very real (you work with what you have at the time I guess). This is the only non-documentary shark movie I actually care for.
The 2nd one is OK, but not nearly as good at keeping tension as this. I wouldn't bother with any of the others in this series.
