    Jaws @ 50 isn’t a bad documentary, just a frustrating one. It’s entertaining enough, but you might do better watching the original film instead.

    “Jaws @ 50” is mainly noteworthy as a comprehensive, if sometimes surface-skimming, compendium of everything there is to know about Peter Benchley’s bestselling source novel, the 1975 movie, its phenomenal box office and cultural impact and why it remains relevant — as well as a near-perfect fright film — today.
