Jaws - a view from a huge fan.

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2003)

What can I say about this film. It's an absolute classic. Always on my top ten list and should be on yours! A true landmark in film history.
From Peter benchly's best seller comes Stephen Spielberg's master piece. I think most people will know the plot of this film and I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it. I'll just say that it a classic man against nature battle which will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
This film is superbly directed - staying true to the original novel (only missing minor things from the book, which are actually left out for the better in my opinion). The shark effect MAY look a bit dated when compared to todays standard digital effects but none the less, you'll find it hard to notice. Lets not forget this film really put Spielberg on the map in movie land.
Also, John williams score is absolutely priceless. Never has a film score contributed so much to the success of a movie.
Bottom line: Brilliant film, Brilliantly directed, beautifully acted and a true masterpiece.
