The movie probably did as much good for the industry as it did bad for sharks.
But there is no denying this is one of the classics and I do like it. It has one of the most memorable scores ever, written John Williams. My parents didn't wanted me to see it but I was very resourceful even as a teenager. Since I never lived anywhere where there is even the slightest chance of meeting a shark I was never terrified by it. Interestingly on the Making-of someone said they never got any letters concerning scared children. There are some really good scare moments and even in HD, with great picture and sound, the shark looks good. I remember the sequels being really awful and even some tries of making a shark movie in the not so distant past failed big time. But this is one you should see.
