Yeah, I thought this movie was great the first time I saw it in 1975. But then I grew up.

No, seriously, I just don't it holds up so well, and it is far from perfect. The editing of the attack on the Dreyfuss in the cage near the end is a cheat: you really don't see how he gets away; he just does.

The shark stuff is pretty good, but I think the LA Times nailed it when the called the film "a bore ashore."

Not a bad film, but I would dare resort to the adjective "overrated."
