- Happy sailing introductions and the prolonged water-skier attack; the latter reportedly gave the replacement director a self-contained sequence while the script was rewritten.
- The driver’s accidental gasoline self-immolation is one explicit favorite, with disbelief about her plan.
- Brody shoots at bluefish near a child, then argues over the shark photograph; the town council has legitimate grounds to question him. — Bill Simmons
- Eddie’s death and the breaking boat edge are praised; the performer reportedly needed hurried swimming lessons.
- The first large sailboat attack, Mike’s injury, helicopter destruction and Marge’s death are praised. — Bill Simmons
- Marge’s rescue attempt is defended as altruistic against an argument that jumping toward the shark is foolish; responsibility shifts toward the Brody parents. — Sean Fennessey
- The electric-cable climax is inventive despite doubtful science; the earlier dredging cable and shark-sound explanation provide setup. — Chris Ryan
- Final preferences split among Eddie’s death, the self-immolation and the helicopter; the whole doomed sailing trip is a broad fallback. — Bill Simmons
