Classic Movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2020)

Firstly this is near the top of my all time favourite movies, if not the top.
Jaws is a masterpiece.
A killer shark visits a New England beach in the height of summer, what can go wrong?.....
Jaws has no weaknesses even though the Shark itself being 1975 special effects can't altogether match the CGI of today, however he still looks very good and as scary as hell and is a star in his/hers own right many years on.
Jaws has everything that is needed to be a classic movie.
The characters have depth and when you have Shaw, Dreyfuss and Scheider playing the three main characters complimenting each other superbly, it just makes the movie a joy.
Every scene in the movie has meaning to the movie, so not a minute is wasted which not many movies can boast.
There is not enough room for me to write about all of Jaws attributes there are too many.
I will chuck in one criticism, its the childcare of Schieders youngest son who is allowed to roam the beaches on his own. I always found that an error in the movie.....but anyway.
The movie score by John Williams is a music classic which is iconic to the great white shark.
This in my view is one of Spielberg's masterpieces and I've yet to see a movie of this kind come anywhere near this film in any shape or form. The fact it only got three Oscars neither for best director is strange. It got beaten for best movie by Cuckoo's Nest, although good, it's debatable.
The best Shark horror movie ever made? Yes, its untouchable. The best movie ever made? For me, probably....
