Movie Review

Grade: A "Jaws." Do I need to sell you on this movie? It is only one of the greatest films ever made, a film that transcended from its B-grade status to an infamous level few movies ever attain. To this date people are still afraid to go in the water thanks to this movie. Read the full movie review

jaws, by daniel hadley

July 1, 2005

i own the 25th aniversery edition and also the boxset of all the jaws titles on video although the only descent sequel was the second. i am a big fan of moveis that involve some type of mutated fish or creture living in the water that attack any one who enter other than pirahna 2 which sucked. although i know thats the shark in jaws was not a mutant in any way its still a big fish that eats people. i loved this movie, the fisrt time i watched it i wouldnt go in the bath for a week. since jaws came out there have been many movies that have tried to cash in on the idea of killer sea creatures or something like that and still to this date there has not been one even with all of the technology and special effects we have today have even come close to matcing jaws. maybe 'Meg' will do it but its doubtfull jaws is a great movie and if you havnt seen then what the hell have you been doing, but it is very rare that some one hasnt seen this film there are still people that havnt hard to believe i know as i still believe it is speilbergs best picture to date.
