Review of Jaws

Jaws (1975)
10/10
Despite imperfections, this movie is perfect

.Jaws used to terrify me when it first came out and probably for 2 decades after. After that, I started to appreciate what an absolute great movie it is. The 3 leads, Quint, Hooper and Chief, are just fantastic and are well deserved of the joint credit at the beginning of the movie. The leads plus the supporting characters are great. There are just wonderful moments, scenes, segments of dialogues and just little looks that make this movie something special and at times, very real. I could watch the dinner scene from the interaction with the young boy through to drinking wine, over and over. My only negatives are a couple of awkward scenes with bit players and a few weird shots that feel a little out of place. I won't mention the dated effects with the shark as I still love Bruce. I would have this movie take all the Oscars for 1975 but wow, what a year for movies!!
