Jaws

Jaws. A man eating shark is terrorising the holiday island of Amity. Police chief Martin Brody, shark hunter Quint and marine biologist Matt Hooper set sail in the hope of killing the great white monster. Jaws is responsible for many things, it's responsible for propelling direct…

Is it safe to go back in the water? ... Steven Spielberg got ahold of the incredible Peter Benchley-penned novel about a giant, carnivorous Great White (dubbed "Jaws") who swims the ocean waters off a fictional resort town, preying on both the Island's locals and its visitors ali…

Much like the shark itself, the movie starts slowly, deep down in the depths before coming to the surface to explode in pure sensationalism. Jaws is one of those rare exceptions where high-brow art meets fun entertainment. At the time of its making, however, simply keeping its he…

Solid shark-thriller that still holds up well with each subsequent viewings. Love the cast especially Robert Shaw and was entertained even during some of the slower moments. Not a favorite of mine or amongst Spielberg's resume, but a lot of fun. **4.25/5**

A very good, and evidently a very influential, film from 1975. That release year doesn't even sound correct, the film holds up extremely well in that regard - I knew already, but if I didn't and I had guessed the year I wouldn't have said anything earlier than 1990. This alone ra…

I saw this recently on the big screen for the first time since I originally went as a child in 1975 and if anything, it has got better. John Williams' score and Robert Shaw's "Quint" combine to far outweigh the "rubber" shark scenes. Unlike "The Meg" this film conveys a real sens…

This is one of my favourite films ever and I've loved it since I was a child, everything from John Williams iconic shark theme to the chilling opening scene. Jaws is nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece.

Neat. It scared me a little bit but I held on tight. And the thing is it's a shark! Not a robot! **_735/1000._**

Jaws is more than just a shark movie, it’s a masterclass in suspense and storytelling. Steven Spielberg turns a simple premise into an unforgettable cinematic experience, using tension and suggestion rather than relying on constant visuals of the shark. **My favorite movie of all…

The definition of the material on Larry's 'Anchor' jacket... Wow!

I just bought a 60 Inch TV a few days ago and while I was outside struggling to get it into my car someone walked by and said "we're gonna need a bigger boat" That was a sign that even though I have practically every release of this movie, I need to own it on Blu-Ray as well.

"we're gonna need a bigger TV" for this masterpiece

"You're going to need a bigger TV."

That ending montage gave me chills

The definitive summer blockbuster.

Just watched JAWS on Netflix for about the 4th time. The movie is 40 years old, and the opening sequence and theme music still chills me to the bone. Outstanding in so many ways.

Still epic and scary after all these years.
