I'll kick anybody's ass who rates it below a 10 For the first time I'd say that the violence would be justified in this case.

7.5/10.
Having watched it dozens of times it is so familiar that some of the effect has warn off, but I don't regard any big negatives in it--a couple of edits seem a little weird "and this is what happens." I never thought the shark was fake looking either until some time after Deep Blue Sea came out and one day when I watched Jaws again, FAKE was on my mind with a couple of bird's eye shots. The real shark footage does not match up with the mechanical and I think that takes me out of the film a little bit.
I agree that it does feel like two different genres. The second half does feel like more of an adventure film.
Hooper living didn't bother me--watching as a young-in Hooper was the most kid-friendly character of the three but after reading the critique on his survival I think it does take a little bit of the glow off Brody's accomplishment. One of the best things in the last third is that Brody is the neurotic one about water-he is out of his element, Hooper and Quint are not, and yet is they who become scared, while Brody loses his fear.
I have some problem with Quint breaking the radio and Brody's reaction. It just rubs me wrong for some reason.
Brody and Hooper are both the outsiders in the community. Quint is presumably not. Despite being the most experienced of the three, he panics and causes the boat to malfunction. Then he calms down. Maybe a little too plot convenient?
The one major negative to it is the effect it had on sharks. After Jaws it became a popular past time to hunt sharks, especially Great Whites. Maybe the most negative social consequence any film has ever had!
