I think the 1982 version holds up cause the special effects at the time are no where near as good as they are today. So you didn't really see much of the thing which added to the suspence. Which is probably why many say Jaws is such a good movie. Spielberg wanted to show more scenes with the shark but cause they couldn't get the shark working properly, they couldn't show it as much and it gave the movie much more suspence. I think why movies today aren't as good is that they rely way too much on cgi, and not enough on suspence.
