Review: Jaws

This early Spielberg outing still retains it's narrative power and shock value. Dreyfuss, Shaw and Scheider form a trio of classic archetypes:

• Hooper: The young challenger who brings modern methods.
• Quinn: The hard bitten expert know-it-all.
• Sheriff Brody: The novice who knows nothing, but understands most. 

who together are responsible for countless copy cats and sequels.  I might be perhaps the only person who still finds the shark impressively realistic.

It looks great in high definition by the way. I can finally see the Mayor's hideous nautically themed suit.

Verdict: Classic blockbuster horror
