I guess maybe back in the day it was ok, but to me, this movie doesn’t hold up very well.
Perhaps, you’ve been spoiled by CGI, Brian. I suspect we all have.

The further you go back in cinematic history, the worse the ‘animatronics’ can look.
Have you ever seen the 1963 version of Jason and the Argonauts?....don’t laugh, they were trying their best, with what they had.


Personally, I have always enjoyed, the original JAWS, despite the rigid great white🤪. (not so, the sequels.)
Good movie or not, the apparently devastating effect, the film had on the reputation of sharks was not good.
