a fish tale with real bite

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2006)

what can i say? jaws is the best film ever made! not only is the plot fantastic, it's believable. the characters have depth and personalities that we can all identify with. as for the shark itself, who knew rubber could be so scary? i snuck out of bed to watch this film when i was 4 years old, hiding behind the sofa for 2 spellbound hours. it is my favourite film and began a fascination with sharks that has lasted my entire life. if i wore a hat, i would have to take it off to Spielberg. this is cinema at its best, well worth the time it took to make. i know it's a bit sad, but i've seen jaws more than a hundred times and thoroughly enjoyed it every time. it was the first DVD i bought and i intend to be buried with a copy of it, that's how much i love this film. i urge anyone who hasn't already seen it to go and buy it. i defy you to not love it as much as i do.
