Three stars. You can see the tricks and the Williams-driven ups-and-downs coming a mile away, but they work (as do Goldblum and most of the supporting cast). Jaws it ain't, but it's an effective amusement park ride, still. I wanted to comment on this after some thought , it holds up better than Jaws IMHO , at the time Jaws was a sensation but on a viewing a few years back it was nearly laughable, the effects just don't hold up and the suspense wasn't the same , which is to be expected.
