Still as effective as ever - spoiler warning (?)

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2000)

I'm as jaded as hell. I seem to be excited or shocked by few things in the movies anymore. JAWS is one of those few things. I won't do any critiques of the movie because I'm tired and frankly, probably wouldn't know what the heck I'd be talking about. But, rest assured, it is and effective movie. Take the fate of Quint at the end. I just saw this movie recently and even knowing what his fate was to be, and seeing how fake the shark looked, I still found the scene extremely chilling, almost disturbing. I really didn't expect this. In fact I was anticipating this scene all through the movie, knowing how it would occur and it STILL managed to shock (also, at the time I was extremely tired and nearly nodded off a few times). I think that's a pretty good indication as to how good this movie is.
Oh, one last thing: Deep Blue Sea is a stinking turd. Don't waste your time on it. Rent or buy JAWS instead.
