The first summer blockbuster

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2001)

"Jaws" is a superb masterpiece of film-making. Released in 1975, this film about a 25-ft. great white shark terrorizing tourists at a summer resort town, went on to become the first summer blockbuster. Adapted from Peter Benchley's best-selling novel, and directed by Steven Spielberg, "Jaws" is classic entertainment, as well as a pop-culture icon. Excellent and believable performances from Scheider, Shaw and Dreyfuss, along with the score by John Williams, make this an enjoyable film from start to finish. With very intense scenes woven with creative camerawork, this film will continue to captivate and frighten many more generations to come. You must see this if you haven't. You'll be glad you did. My rating: 11 out of 10.
