A potboiler of the 'slow-death' variety

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2017)

A potboiler with grisly action scenes that border on the ridiculous, 'Jaws' is another of the 'slow-death' entertainers of the 70's era. The premise is simple, and the ending predictable. Special effects are of the 70's quality, so sometimes they made the scene quite funny. The actors don't impress. The shark doesn't impress. There are some gaps in the story line. It must have been popular because of the shock value the scenes had in the era it was released. It was one of the most successful films ever. Spielberg has made much better films later on. Good cinema should endure. This didn't.
Watch it only if you want some comedy of the ridiculous kind.
