One of the greatest!!

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2006)

I saw this movie as a sneak pre-view when it was first released. We saw it in Sandusky Ohio, when visiting Cedar Point amusement park on a rain day. All we new was the tagline; Something about not going in the water again or whatever. To say I was stunned was an under-statement. It was, and remains, the most incredible film I have ever seen. Spielberg seems to Pooh-Pooh it, but it is his finest work. From the acting, which has been completely overlooked to the suspense, dialogue and music, it remains a masterpiece. It can't be replicated because we have become so jaded by Jurassic Park, etc., we don't appreciate the subtleties in movie-making. We need to be hit over the head w/it anymore. I realized this as I watched the new King Kong. It's all so much computer imaging, that we are losing interest in the thrill. Sad but true. If Jaws was made today the teed boppers out there would let out a collective yawn!
