Movie Review - Jaws

Even after 30 years this is still good. the bloody scenes and effects, the scares that you KNOW are coming, the rubbery shark. Roy Scheider as Chief Brody going on to to be in Blue Thunder, Richard Dreyfuss going on to be in Mr Holland's opus and close encounters (or had he already been in that?) and Robert Shaw (he of the Rank logo gong banging fame).

They definitely needed a bigger boat, and a saner captain. the shark is most likely the biggest star. lines like needing that bigger boat, asking that son of a b*t*h to smile. the singing in the boat at night to break up the tension. how would this be made today? seeing the shark more and earlier in the film no doubt, a cgi shark and more violent attacks i think. but this is un-re-makable!

excellent!
