Highly Overrated But Still Good
Beautiful, moving film.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
I absolutely love what the director Jamie Benning has done here. His 'Filmumentary' style lets you see some great 'making of' gems in context whilst watching the movie. You get to see outtakes, rehearsals, extended scenes, all in the time line of the movie as it plays. Genius idea. The content is fantastic too. A mixture of other documentaries, found footage, interviews with small cast members and extras, storyboard etc. I learnt a lot about the filmmaking process as well as the incredible story of how the Jaws movie actually came about, and nearly didn't! Also fascinating to watch Spielberg in his element, totally relaxed with the actors.An absolute must watch for any Jaws fan or movie buff in general.
