We need a bigger boat
By JediSi (301 reviews) from Kent , 03 Sep 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Principally, 'Jaws' is about a huge shark terrorizing a commonly serene coastal town up in the north-eastern United States. After the attacks grow to be more horrifying, repetitive, and was also involving children; a police chief, a somewhat eccentric sailor and a marine biologist set sail to track down the shark. The main difficulty is that they have no idea what they are getting themselves into.
Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider performed outstandingly, but it is Robert Shaw and his representation of the crazy sailor Quint that steals the show. The three characters fail to get along with each other while in the boat, but need each other to survive, since it soon becomes clear that they’ve bitten off a little more than tey can chew, and their lives are at stake
Bottom line, this film is incredible. 'Jaws' is THE film to watch before heading out to the beach.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 06 May 2013I'll never forget going to the pictures to see 'Jaws'. The tension everyone sensed as the diver went under the water to check the boat..... And the head popped out. Everyone in the picture house jumped up a mile and screamed !!! Even today when watching this scene, it still has a huge effect, even though I know it's going to happen. Brilliant !!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Oh, why are you "one of the greatest films of all time"?!
By a customer , 16 Mar 2013I watched this on the premise of sheer curiosity from the amount of times I've seen it on 'best film' lists. I was left disappointed and bored. No doubt, the soundtrack is atmospheric, and the shark itself looks amazing considering the era this film was made in, but this film just didn't keep me interested. I thought it was repetitive, boring and the ending was disappointing. All in all, a dismal film, and a hundred times worse that what I was expecting. Maybe I was anticipating too much? I don't know, but I may return to this in a while with much lower expectations and I may be able to appreciate it more. Who knows...- Was this review helpful to you?

Classic horror
By Aimielea (1 review) , 24 Feb 2013Scariest film I have ever seen, clever camera work and music help to build tension throughout. Even though the effects are dated this does not detract from he film. I have seen this film upwards of 100 times and it never fails to scare the life out of me, brilliant director, brilliant film!- Was this review helpful to you?

The best film ever made!
By Mart0037 (1 review) , 26 Jan 2013This film is quite simply THE best film ever made. It's that simple. Nothing made since even comes close. Even the effects of 1975 are brilliant. This film will live forever and rightly so. If you haven't seen it you need to! Although I wouldn't have thought many people haven't...
