Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

lachlanreck Jaws is a great classic movie that all of you should definitely see.

Bentheboy I love everything about this film. I have no idea how many times I have watched it, but I can almost recite the entire film from memory even if I leave it a few years before seeing it again.The 3 main characters are really interesting and believable. Such an amazing film could never get made these days as CGI, fast music and muscle clad beefcakes is all that's on offer.

Foreverisacastironmess There's a good reason that for years after its release, some were still afraid to go into the water. Jaws, what a Titan of a horror thriller! While the sequels may have got increasingly stupid and poor, the original was always one of those great classics that you really feel like you grew up with and had a special place for, and that was and still is so well deserved to this day, because it holds up so tremendously well. It was the first movie ever to cross the hundred million dollar mark and its hand in creating the summer blockbuster pretty much means that its influence on contemporary cinema cannot be overstated. Something that's so great about the movie's appeal and the craftsmanship put into it is its continued ability to thrill and terrify audiences despite having few overt appearances of the Great White shark, which also work amazingly well because the result is actually much scarier than if the mechanical shark had worked well enough for it to be shown throughout the whole movie. Young Spielberg knew just how to use that shark sparingly but effectively, using the iconic score, shadows, camera angles, and mostly just the acting chops of a fine cast to raise the tension and menace of the lurking aquatic predator to nightmarish levels. The keen focus on the characters and their story and interactions heightens the shark as a deadly force of nature. The infamous opening scene remains incredibly chilling, not least because of the disturbing performance of the beautiful young naked lady but also because it's a case of what we're not seeing being more shocking than what we do. One of the most deeply gripping and suspenseful moments in the film comes not from action, but from dialogue. RIP Robert Shaw, you sir gave one of the all-time great horror movie monologues! Thrilling, scary, atmospheric and cinematic, it inspired many animal attack movie imitators at the time but none of them really ever held a candle to it, and while there may have been one of two good examples over the years, the only truly great killer shark movie and great/granddaddy of them all remains Jaws, it's the best one of all time. For all the trouble they had making it, it was certainly all worth it, for the end result was always an amazing film. Gotta love it, good old Jaws... X

abbymatteson So like I said in the title, Jaws is pretty overrated. The movie is overall pretty boring, and the only reason this got better than 3 stars was that the shark attacks in the beginning middle and end kept it interesting and scary. I first watched this movie at 8 years old, and could t go in the ocean for a good year after that. To an 8 year old, of course it's a lot scarier than to my current age, and the movies that are it in this day and age. Summary: If you love shark movies and don't mind it when a film is slow, than I would a hundred percent recommend this Spielberg classic. If you hate slow movies, honestly don't waste your time
