I was too young when I first watched this to give it any sort of rating, but after rewatching it I have come to the conclusion this movie rocks.

The camerawork in this is elite. Some of the shots had me floored. Getting to see this in a theater was pretty dope. 

I thought the performances were great and Spielberg does a great job of building tensions and showing suspense with the limited ability with what he could really do with the shark. Epic movie.
