Best film ever made. In spite of the rubber shark.

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2011)

I felt compelled to write a review as the previous half dozen reviews of JAWS are laughable. The reviewers clearly do not know what a quality film is. And JAWS is a quality film. Its not a horror film - its a thriller. Suspense and shocks perfectly paced are what it is about. That and some fantastic performances. Robert Shaw produces the performance of his life. Over the top - perhaps but he pulls it off and it is impossible to take your eyes off him. A previous reviewer expressed disappointment that 'the genius behind Men in Black' produced this poor film. I stopped reading that review right there. JAWS is genius film making. I have watched it many dozens of times now and I can never stop watching until it is finished. Maybe there are not enough boobs and explosions (2 boobs on a shark victim and one explosion) for people brought up on pap like Transformers but this is the real deal. The greatest film ever made IMHO.
