Jaws Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

We need a bigger boat

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.

A True Classic

This film is definitely in my top ten all time favourite films; it’s a work of genius! I have watched it on more than one occasion, in fact probably 100 times or more and I still love it!

It’s my favourite Steven Spielberg film; I just love the way he shot and put this film together. The casting is phenomenal especially the main three, Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss.

My favourite is Richard Dreyfuss though; he truly shines in this movie particularly the scenes he shares with Roy Scheider at the beginning of the film.

In fact everyone involved in this film is fantastic, from the real life locals used as extras to Peter Benchley, the book’s author playing a news reporter. Ok, so the actual model of the shark looks a little shaky at times but to be perfectly honest I wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you’ve never watched this film before then your extremely lucky, I would give anything to be watching it for the first time!
