Editorial Review: From Amazon.co.uk: In the vastly overrated 1998 book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, author Peter Biskind puts the blame for Hollywood's blockbuster mentality at least partially on Steven Spielberg's box-office success with this adaptation of Peter Benchley's bestselling novel. But you can't blame Spielberg for making a terrific film, which Jaws definitely is. The story of a Long Island town whose summer tourist business is suddenly threatened by great white shark attacks on humans bypasses the potboiler trappings of Benchley's book and goes straight for the jugular with beautifully crafted, crowd-pleasing sequences of action and suspense. This is supported by a trio of terrific performances by Roy Scheider (as the local sheriff), Richard Dreyfuss (as a shark specialist), and particularly Robert Shaw (as the old fisherman who offers to hunt the shark down). The sequences on Shaw's boat--as the three of them realise that in fact the shark is hunting them--are what entertaining moviemaking is all about. --Marshall Fine --This text refers to another version of this video. Additional Features: The digitally remastered 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition features a Steven Spielberg retrospective on the making of Jaws, with exclusive footage, behind-the-scenes takes, and rare interviews. Also included are photos, storyboards, production drawings, and the original theatrical trailer.

 Rating:  - did for swimming what psycho did for showering (4.5/5)this is the movie that ushered in a whole new era for movies.the original shark movie.the movie quickly became part of pop culture history, and has inspired(and i use that term loosely,for the most part)many pale imitations and pretenders.but no one has had anywhere near the impact "Jaws" had and continues to have.this movie did for swimming in the ocean what psycho did for showering.the movie has an OK story,but that is not the focal point of this movie.what drives this movie is the suspense and,at times almost unbearable tension.and that's coming from someone who had seen the movie at least once before,so i knew what to expect.the main reason for this is the the musical score by the ...

Rating: - Jaws--This film has bite!Based on Peter Benchley's bestseller Jaws tells the story of Chief of Police Martin Brody's attempts to convince the Mayor to close down Amity Beach after a teenager is attacked and killed by a Great White Shark. A second deadly attack on a little boy compels new Chief of Police Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) to force the Mayor (Murray Hamilton) to sign a contract that will allow Quint, a crusty old sailor (Robert Shaw), along with himself, and shark expert Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) to hunt the Great White down and kill it. . This film is a masterpiece by Steven Spielberg, who in only his second feature film, (his first was The Sugarland Express) blends moments of humour, suspense, and horror perfectly. The shark attacks are graphically ... Read More: Rating: - A real checkpoint in film history...When Steven Spielberg finished making the smash hit action film DUEL, he began venturing to make another film, scarier, more exciting, and, as well, a money maker. Recently, there was a book written by Peter Benchley called JAWS. Somebody handed it to him, Spielberg read it, and he was interested in making a movie out of it. And that's what he did. JAWS: The Movie is simply amazing. Scary, exciting, and overall, enjoyable. If those of you like seeing the monster every five seconds, go look at Godzilla, but this rocks. So what if you see the shark for only about half an hour of the movie? (The movie's two hours long.) This movie absolutely R-O-C-K-S. If you have a movie collection BUY THIS SHOW. IF YOU MISS OUT ON IT, SOMEBODY WILL GET YOU. Rating: - Awesome and unbeatableThis film is the heart of all new ideas for movies, the movie is basically a large shark which has inhabited an area where sharks are not usually found. The shark begins to attack people off the coast of amity island, the victims include a dog, a late teenager and a young child. This violent is much more violent that you would expect for a PG and contains scenes of gore, language, and will be scary for younger children. I loved this film beginning to end, after the first shark attack i knew this was going to be a classic!!! ***** |
