The First and Best Summer Block Buster

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2002)

What can I say that hasn't already been said a thousand times. (*WARNING UPCOMING SPOILERS) The plot is engaging and just all out excellent. The death scenes especaly Quint's were grusome (at least they were at the time, it's no Nightmare/Halloween 2/Jason gore fest). The acting is superb, Roy scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss should have all won gold, Dreyfuss for supporting and Scheider And Shaw as a tie for best. The later is unlikely I know but hey that's my opinion. There are some who even think (i.e. Me and My Father) that Dreyfuss won for Goodbye Girl (in which he also delivers a great performance) because the Academy felt they should have given it to him for Jaws. You especaly won't want to miss the Orca scene(s), perhaps the greatest in movie history. To get the full impact, if you can watch it on a big screen at the beach, close to the fourth of July is even better.
