Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)

Rating: Q=5, P=3 / Thanks But No Thanks
Scale 1=3, Scale 2=2, Scale 3=2, Scale 4=1

Thriller, Shark, Gore, Open Water, Action

Certainly exciting, suspenseful, and nerve-wracking but that's pretty much it. Richard Dreyfuss's performance is fun and the cinematography and music is excellent but the plot and characters don't shine and are basically surface-level. I'd rather watch a thriller that is more psychological and mysterious. A classic adrenaline rush, though.
