I watched it for the first time at 31 (I know!) and have no nostalgia for it. Yet it fully lives up to the hype. Amazing memorable characters. My favorite part though was being introduced to the Indianapolis Disaster through the famous…

This is my 20th favorite movie, the build up and suspense to seeing the shark works so well, but the characters make the movie. They all work really well, for this kinda movie, the sharks still looks pretty good, for being almost 50 years…

Go ahead and watch it again. I found it had the same impact, although I deplore the terrible decline in shark populations perhaps in part due to this movie.

Absolutely terrible
Speilberg made sharks look like man eating brutes
Really you are more likely to be killed by an ice cream cone or lightning bolt
They kill about 5 people a year compared to us who kill 750 million sharks a year. See…

YOU HAVE TO REALIZE that in 1975 the motion picture industry was moribund. Jaws wasn't just the greatest collection of sequential thrills that had ever been gathered in a single motion picture up to that time. It was a generational…

'Bruce' the shark is one, bad-ass, mamma-jamma!...
Phenomenal early effort from Spielberg, with a very brooding, Benchley story!...
Fantastic cast lead by Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and (an absolutely incredible) Robert…

One of the best American thrillers that captivated its audience with a scary, yet humanistic story (watch the police chief battle the mayor and local businesses who need the tourists for the local economy), and a now-infamous soundtrack.
This decidedly heavy-handed, $8 million monster movie (which earned back 25x its production costs within its first year of release) actually had me yawning uncontrollably within its first half-hour.
Following the very first shark attack…

The classic summer blockbuster. The shark and blood effects might seem genuinely corny and fake, but the intensity and thrill are all too real. The acting holds up very well too.
I rewatched this earnestly instead of just letting it play in the background for the thousandth time because it happens to be on TV, and I don’t have any complaints at all. It looks amazing, the acting’s amazing, the shark doesn’t move…
Jaws is a movie the I grew up with, it's like the first real horror film I ever watched. This movie not only scarred me out of the water, I was afraid to go to the bathroom! I know it was silly, but that was how much Jaws effected me. I…
