du-dum, du-dum . . . we'll need a bigger boat!

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 1999)

Oh yeah! Pure, fantastic Spielberg with an overworked, run-away imagination. Could any director have possibly made this film any better or more frightening? Sure, the shark is the main character, but what about the inspired casting of Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss? You cannot beat it. This is not Spielberg's best film nor his most gripping. However, it is one of his simplest and that raises this extraordinary thriller to an amazing level. Please, don't show it to your kids. They may never want to venture into the water again.
