One of the best movies of all time. Other bullsh*t shark movies are unmatchable to this masterpiece.

Good suspenseful movie. Acting is top notch. Modern horror movies should take note that less is sometimes more.

Bom até mesmo nos dias de hoje.

Gostei muito da maneira como o Steven leva o filme. O hype em torno do tubarão é excelente, e mesmo que o suspense não tenha funcionado tão bem comigo, uma curiosidade me manteve "preso em tela". A decisão de mostrar o tubarão em poucos momentos é assertiva e aumenta a curiosidade/suspense do mesmo.

Os personagens são excelentes. É muito fácil se por na pele deles, até mesmo do prefeito visto todo o contexto que aqui é dado sobre o povo americano - principalmente no sentido de que o mesmo é o reflexo deles. falando sobre a caçada ao tubarão: ela é interessante. Acredito que alguns momentos foram longos demais, mas talvez essa sensação se dê porque eu estava começando a ficar com sono. O "gore" do filme me pareceu um pouco perdido, visto que o filme tem uma pegada sessão da tarde quando prestamos atenção na OST. O tema é magnifico e emblemático, mas o conjunto de musicas subsequentes deixa um pouco a desejar na proposta do longa, na minha opinião.

Hands down the best shark film ever made. The film is well acted, scary at times and intensive. And if you think that Jaws 4: The Revenge & The Shallows are better films than you're an idiot.

As tense as it may get, Jaws is ultimately one of the most entertaining and joyful movies out there, thanks to its lovable trio of main characters, their unique personalities and great chemistry.

As tense as it may get, Jaws is ultimately one of the most entertaining and joyful movies out there, thanks to its lovable trio of main characters, their unique personalities and great chemistry.

This is something that every Jaws rip-off completely missed.
Jaws is scary, but it isn't the scares that make it great, it's the lighter moments.
It's the joy that these characters bring.

I could see them hanging out in the boat, singing, comparing scars and sharing shark stories forever.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "You're gonna need a bigger boat." The movie's greatest line does a lot to build on the rest of the plot. Just about everything about the film is fantastic: The plot, story, cinematography, acting, special effects, and others. One of the best films of all time, and possibly the best film that Steven Spielberg produced. From the shark's first attack to its death at the hands of Brody, the shark had a surreal effect on audiences, including me. The work that they did to make the shark with 1975 technology makes the film a remarkable technical achievement. A must watch for anyone who loves movies. Expand

A very good, and evidently a very influential, film from 1975.

That release year doesn't even sound correct, the film holds up extremely well in that regard - I knew already, but if I didn't and I had guessed the year I wouldn't have said anything earlier than 1990. This alone raises the film up ½* for me - it's impressively made.

I don't, personally, think the story is as perfect as the aforementioned. Don't get me wrong it's all entertaining, but I feel it peaks with the shark terrorising the town as a whole - when it's down to just the trio, I didn't enjoy it quite as much. Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss do give notable performances, though.

Going back to my initial point, the effects for the shark are incredible. I kinda wanted to simply see more of just the shark, even if we do get more of the great white towards the conclusion. Heck, the film from the shark's prospective would've been 5*. Lastly, that John Williams score is sensational - I think every film fan, whether they've seen it or not, knows that famous theme.

Almost 47 years after its release, I've finally seen 'Jaws'. I don't honestly think the story/the characters itself are anything out of this world, but there's so much to admire and praise from a technical aspect. A marvel, really.

Pretty good but has a lot of boring scenes but blood is unrealistic but has a goddamn ton but this is definitely the best movie I seen it’s so good but some parts are weird like when he was eaten leg was cutter off but it’s not too bad a 10 year old with moderate stomach could handle the reason this is 10 out of 10 is because this is the best start to start watching horror movies cus all of em rated r so you don’t know which to start I only saw the first jaws I’m definitely watching the 2 one tomorrow but my god was this movie good Expand

Today, I first time saw this movie and I am not as amazed as people say this movie makes you. I am not saying that film isn't good. It is great but not a masterpiece.

The first hour is not interesting and nothing much happens. The movie actually isn't that interesting until you finally see the monster. The actors did their jobs very well, but the movie lacked action. Now, some people will say that this amount of action was enough but I don't think so.

Spielberg's direction is great. Overall "Jaws" is not a classic or masterpiece, it's just a pure and simple entertainment with the ending we wanted to see.

Tense, good acted and unrepeatable. While I prefer the first half of the film to the second one, it keeps you on the edge of the seat during the whole 2 hours.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best shark movies ever made. Jaws has inspired to wake of movies today with its duh duh duh duh shark theme song that could get anyone out of the water in a mire second it was directed by 27-year-old Steven Spielberg and I believe jaws is the 2nd film he directed. Jaws also have a revolutionary score by John Williams and it was one of the first Spielberg, William duo. we follow the story of a small tourist island that is getting attacked by a giant shark and three people on a boat go and hunt the beast and those 3 fishermen are Martin brody, Matt Hooper, and Sam quint. the first half of the movie is a horror movie with a haunting suspenseful score and the second half is an action and adventure film with a more upbeat film. the first half is set on amity where chrisse Watkins and Alex Kitner gets attacked by a shark. Kitner's mom puts up a $3000 bounty on the shark that killed Alex Kitner and of course, a bunch of crazies starts trying to kill the shark and they caught it!... they thought hooper talks some science stuff and says that not the shark. later that night hooper gets the chief drunk and they go to check out the shark...It was the wrong shark who could have imagined. they go on to a boat and see a boat and one of the best jumpscares happens when ben gardeners dead body just pops up and scares a tooth out of hoopers hand. The next day at the beach two kids prank the very populated beach of amity but then there's a real shark Michal Brody is on a boat with his friends and there's another guy there and boom shark attack! Michael goes in shock and while at the doctor brody gets the mayor to sign the contract for quint. brody hooper and quint go on the boat and shark just kinda toys with them for the rest of the runtime. hooper is sick of the shark and goes into the cage to stab it with a poison needle but the shark goes attacks the back of the cage and scares the hooper he drops his poison thing evruntlly he get out the cage and hides behind a rock and they show some awesome footage of a real-life shark getting caught in a cage nobody was hurt during the real-life footage thankfully. quint and brody pull up the cage and the shark leaps out of the water and onto the flooding boat and nom noms on quint. brody is stuck on the boat and the shark tries to eat the man but he gives the beast an oxygen tank instead and gets a gun and shoots at the shark when Smile you son of a b***h! BOOM the sharks blows up. hooper rises and they swim back to the shore the end waits.. jaws 2? jaws 3 and jaws the revenge! what alright that's the review for now Expand

Based on the 1974 best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, Jaws is highly regarded as the first blockbuster summer movie and it does a great job in building up suspense towards the shark's first appearance. This is also the film that made Steven Spielberg famous, who does a great job building up the tension and making the shark's presence ominous. The practical effects do a fantastic job in bringing the shark to life and making it realistic. The score by John Williams is phenomenal and add to the film's suspenseful nature. The cast do a great job in their roles, especially Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw. Still remains one of the greatest horror movies ever made and will always be regarded as a classic.
