A Classic Nature-Horror.

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2012)

The original 'Jaws' is a classic. The first person shark cam was a fresh idea that came about purely by accident, and caused a million horrible copycat films with first person monsters. The plot is interesting, and the characters and their presentation are as well, especially Quint with his USS Indianapolis story. The special effects when we finally see the shark... could have been better. The shark actually probably looked better in later movies, but they just weren't any good here. That said, the technology at the time taken into consideration, I guess it's not bad. And i still prefer animatronic over CGI in some Cases. CGI just looks so fake when it's not done well.
This movie was so good, that at the time it made people afraid to go in the water. Unfortunately, it also created many negative stereotypes, as generally, sharks rarely attack people.
