Will go down in history

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2015)

Jaws is iconic in a number of ways. It was the first summer blockbuster and it is still a classic suspense film. The thing that makes this film so good is the characters feel human. There isn't a hero or funny guy they are all just normal people hunting a shark. You can relate to the characters and feel for them. For the time the effects are wonderful and the scenery is amazing. Some scenes are gruesome but the thing that makes the film better is the haunting, iconic soundtrack. It just lifts the film from good to greatness. Steven Spielberg truly made a name for himself from this film. The concept has been imitated but has obviously never been matched. It brings us a rememberale theme turn, a haunting villain and an array of real human characters.
