Amazon.com essential video
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

 Boring, boring, boring!!! January 4, 2009
I can't understand why JAWS continously pops up on 'Greatest Horror Movie'
lists and critiques...it is NOT great, NOT a horror (more like horrible),
and while it IS a movie, it's just not all that good to me. I guess most people like it because it has a lot of names involved with it. Maybe I'm biased because I am not a swimmer and have never been into water sports, but I just find it extremely boring after the first attack or two. There are far better movies as far as I am concerned...JAWS is one of my least favorite films, never liked it even as a kid.
 How about, JAWS ON BLU-RAY. December 22, 2008
Without a doubt one of the best movies ever made. All the great reviews pretty much say it all.And the show should speak for itself. But, why then has this not been done on blu-ray????? I'm shocked that it has not been done yet. Let's just keep our fingers crossed.
THE BEST JAWS EVER!!! November 27, 2008
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. ...
YOU MAY NEVER GO IN THE WATER AGAIN.
FABULOUS November 19, 2008
JAWS is probably the best film ever made in a century besides Citizen Kane. Otherwise, Jaws still frightens millions of people.
Spielberg At His Absolute Best November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 it, "Jaws" still packs a powerful cinematic punch.
