There's just one single scene in the whole movie that doesn't work -- the wide-angle profile shot of big ol' rubber-and-steel Bruce leaping onto the deck of the Orca. It's genuinely awful, and one can easily imagine Spielberg and Verna Fields agonizing over it in the editing room:
VF: God, that thing looks like crap.
SS: I know, I know -- just like all these other phoney-looking shark shots we had to cut! Can't we lose this one too?
VF: I wish! But we don't have any other coverage that looks any better. We GOTTA get that damn shark on deck somehow...maybe if we cut it down as short as possible...
SS: "Less is more", yeah, yeah...try it...
VF: Okay, just a sec.... here goes...what do you think?
SS: My career is over.
VF: Yeah, still looks like crap.
Other than that -- 100% cinematic perfection.
