It's still great after decades, a little plothole that bugs me

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2019)

It was mostly believable, to some extend, until the moment they started shooting it when it was right in front of them but it had almost 0 effect. Later on it was again right in front of them and they had guns but they didn't even try to shoot it.
It's pretty obvious an animal like that would either just die or panic and leave, or be eaten by other sharks very easily if shot. So, it was a noticeable plothole that took me out of the story a little.
All in all though the movie is still great, especially for its age. Direction is amazing, acting is stellar for the most part, the general story/script great.
