So damn effective!

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2018)

There is no denying in saying that Jaws (1975) is one of the most influential thrillers of all time and one of the first real summer blockbusters.
While it isn't really that popular for Jumpscares, there are some very scary and surprising sequences that are so well executed and directed by Steven Spielberg.
The story is as simple as it gets and although Scheider, Shaw and Dreyfuss do a good job, this is a complete white shark show. Every scene he is in is completely horrifying and even better with the epic music score.
The ending sequences are perfectly directed and are as gripping as it probably gets.
Nonetheless, Jaws sadly isn't flawless. The whole movie kind of drags all the way. Many scenes could be shortened, hell, even the whole movie should be shortened. The biggest problem is the inconsistency of suspense, as there are many (unnecessary) parts that are really hard bitten.
All in all, there is not much to say about Jaws. An amazing experience with wonderful thrills that sadly has some pacing issues: 8/10
