Jaws

✅86% Director completion list (4/137) Steven Spielberg (2/31) Every time I watch this movie I tend to like it less. This used to be a full on five star, and now I noticed a few things here that I really didn’t like. Most of the dialogue between Brody and the citizens is extremely dated, the extras are all pretty bad, and there’s a nasty filler scene in the middle of this movie that drags it down quite a bit. Now, with all that said… This is still one of the most suspenseful movies of all time, as well as Steven Spielberg showing his sauce and giving us the first summer blockbuster. It’s absolutely revolutionary. Schneider, Shaw, and Dreyfuss all do phenomenal, and the last 40 minutes are simply incredible. And of course, you can’t go long talking about this movie without talking about the score. John Williams is and will always be the fucking goat. So yes while some aspects of this movie really didn’t work this time around, it’s still a classic for a reason.
