Quite simply, superb

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2006)

Although it is well over 30 years old now, the original Jaws is quite simply still one of the best movies ever made! I recently purchased a new home cinema setup, and decided that repeat viewing was long overdue.
From the moment John Williams score blasted over the opening credits I knew I was in for a good night. Jaws has it all. Great acting (all round, although I personally think Roy Scheider deserves a special mention!), tight direction, and even though the special effects weren't great, it just adds to the mystique of the film.
There have been rumours of a George Lucas style special edition, if that's the case I've got three words for Steven Spielberg. DON'T DO IT! Leave this masterpiece alone for future generations to discover it as it is.
