Worst film ever?

[Misawa]

Forgettable acting? If that was the case, why does it include one of the greatest scenes in the history of film whereby Robert Shaw ad-libs a story about the U.S.S. Indiannapolis that has sparked films and novels on just his words. The performances of the three protagonists is fantastic. Please, find a review somewhere that spits on JAWS as much as the three here have, hmm? It is a timeless classic and I am not going to be deterred by the opinions of three likeminded individuals who are outweighed so incredibly that it does not bear thinking about.

A remake of House Of 1000 Corpses. No thank you, dear. The stories are different, nor did I use Mr. Zombie for a source of inspiration.

I hardly think I need find bad reviews of a film just because you can't actually come up with any points. My previous post more than overcame your prior one and all you reply with is a reference to a scene only cared about by people who believe film to be more about art than entertainment. You are yet to explain anything as I asked.

[Misawa]

I simply do not need to. It's already set out. Just find it for yourself. I care not to elaborate when there is so much covering what I have already said in a more expansive form. You think it is garbage, when it is factually not. It is fact that it is a well-crafted masterpiece. The scale of you in compared to people who appreciate the timeless masterpiece would be the population of the Isle of Wight against China. And by the way, film is art.

What else is going to come out of your belligerent fingertips? Utterences that Gus Van Sent's Psycho is better than Hitchcock's? Perhaps that Uwe Boll is a genius? Hmm. I wouldn't be surprised.

If you're going to give up on the technical front, at least explain your own personal train of thought on this matter I brought up earlier.

So let me get your final point straight: you're all for independance, originality and expression, yet you refuse to acknowledge that anyone who doesn't share your opinion could be justified? You even insult my sanity and intelligence based on the fact that I don't like a film. Pray do tell why one needs to "understand" film to have an opinion, or even how you come to the conclusion that I don't understand film in the first place.

The pin-pointed accusations of the film are insane. Need more I explain?

An opinion that a film is a masterpiece is not a fact. My Fine Art Tutor will insist that the Mona Lisa is a masterpiece yet I can sit an argue with her for hours about how I don't think it is. Same can be applied to anything and everything.

As a enjoyer of films (over badly quality streamed ones, but whatever), the only thing that matters is if the film is entertaining (which Jaws wasn't) and whether I'll consider watching it again (which I never have with Jaws). In my opinion, it is a terrible film.

Yes, clearly :S you haven't explained at all, you're just making personal attacks rather than saying anything at all educated or intelligent. Sure, your wording is smarter than "uR DUMB COs I THINK SO LOL" but it amounts to exactly the same thing

Ignorance. You do realise films aren't "Oh I've thought of this scene, film it, get it over with". Every shot, unless your Michael Bay, is carefully crafted to have meaning. Every frame in a film is telling a story that the dialogue cannot.

Stating the craft of a film is not opinion, it is fact. You do not understand if you disagree because you are too ignorant to do so. It is fact because everything is deliberate, everything is made so well, physically, aesthetically. Those who resort to "opinion" in a case of craft do not know the mechanics of film.

Perhaps you would like to carefully raise a point for every flaw that JAWS has if you want an explanatory answer, which I will give. And FlyingJesus, you live about 10 minutes away, perhaps I should handcuff you to a chair, sit you in front of a screen and teach you.

Jaws is crap.

But Michael Bay films are entertaining.

And I want to watch films at face value for entertainment. Looking into every shot is too much like Year10 English, over analyzing it just isn't fun and kills it.
