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 Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Get A Bigger Boat! JAWS was one of the few movies I saw in the theater that literally had me white-knuckling the arms of my seat. (Which meant the popcorn and pop tumbled out of my lap and onto the floor.) What a great time I had, all those years ago in the cinema, as watching this thriller was one whale (shark?) of a gasp-fest; I remember walking out of the lobby thinking, "This Spielberg guy might have a future in filmmaking." Duh. . . But aside from all the obvious plusses (great story, ... Read More Rating: - Boring, boring, boring!!! 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 ... Read More Rating: - How about, JAWS ON BLU-RAY. 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. 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. ... YOU MAY NEVER GO IN THE WATER AGAIN. Rating: - FABULOUS JAWS is probably the best film ever made in a century besides Citizen Kane. Otherwise, Jaws still frightens millions of people. see more Browse for similar items by category: Action Directors - Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - Steven Spielberg Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - Thrillers Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - General AAS Horror - Genres - VHS - Video - General Classic Horror & Monsters - Horror - Genres - VHS - Video - General AAS
