Still good in 2005.

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2005)

Jaws captivated audience when it was released. It struck fear into the hearts of children (and some adults alike). That's all well and good in the seventies, but what about the present day. Most films from that era, with the exception of Star Wars and a few others, have dated horribly, but not so Jaws. Okay, so you may not be as frightened as you may have been as a kid, but as adults, we can all appreciate Steven's Spielberg's talent.
The tension, the suspense, the fear, all of the aspects from the book are here, but the director has also borough photography, music, and superb acting to the movie / film. There is no need to write a long review, just watch the film yourself, and be amazed. Then, read the book, and watch the film all over again. I give the film 9/10, one point being deducted for a pretty rubbish shark. I think we should not have seen the shark until the very end, but that's just my opinion.
Simply a masterpiece, every bit of it...
