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 movie, 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 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 realize that in fact the shark is hunting them--are what entertaining moviemaking is all about. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - THE BEST JAWS EVER!!!
THIS IS THE BEST JAWS EVER!!! It's bound to make you afraid of the water! If you like sharks you've got to see this. ...

Rating: - Spielberg At His Absolute Best
When future generations examine the Steven Spielberg canon, two films will stand out: "Schindler's List" (1993) and "Jaws" (1975), the director's breakthrough thriller. More than 30 years later, the picture remains a textbook example of storytelling and characterization - somehow managing to transcend Peter Benchley's source material. Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss make a formidable ensemble while Spielberg keeps a tight grip on the watery suspense. No matter how many times you see ... Read More
Rating: - You ruined my life...
I like to call this my favorite movie. I think it's because its the first movie that impacted the rest of my life. I couldn't swim in a pool without getting the creeps. Forget the ocean. After 30 years, I was finally able to swim in the ocean this past summer without thinking a shark was going to get me. I realize I'm 38 year old but this movie scarred me for life. I won't let my kids watch it for fear it will ruin our beach trips. Thanks for ruining the beach for 30 years, Spielberg!

I remember being scared to death of this film when I was younger, but I of course grew to love it.Jaws is one of my favorite all time movies, and this special edition DVD was certainly a blessing.I recommend to all who have not seen it to check it out.
