Summary: Everyone knew this DVD should be perfect... it is
Review: First and foremost.. we all know the plot so I'm just skipping that part of the review and just talking about why this is so great on the DVD. The picture quality is near perfect. There is no signs of pixelation or breaks in the picture (Anyone who saw highlander on DVD knows what a bad picture looks like). The blacks are deep and solid and the colors are vibrant and jump off the screen. It's amazing the work they put into this film to clean it up from the 1970's print.

Next, the sound... TOP NOTCH.. I'm not even talking about the dts version.. the regular sound is good enough. The scenes on the ocean sound fantastic, and the dum-dum score rattles the subwoofer.

As far as extras go, this disc is no fight club, however, for a film that's so old, to have this much extra included is great. The behind-the-scenes stuff is alot of fun and even the deleted scenes are a nice touch.. The trivia game is short, but good for a few laughs.

If you didn't pre-order this DVD, you really should think about what kind of movies you are buying if you passed this one by... do yourself the favor... buy this, you'll be glad you did, and your DVD player will thank you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still one of the best of all time....
Review: I have been waiting for this DVD for quite a while, and I am not dissapointed. The DTS sound mix is incredible, and the pic is great also. If you liked it 25 years ago, get this DVD and enjoy it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT'S A CLASSIC
Review: This movie will always remain a classic for all time. I don't see how Spielberg does it, but he does. This is one of those movies that it doesn't matter how many times it comes on, it's good everytime. It's like i'm watching it for the 1st time everytime i see it over and over again. Now that's when u know if a movie is worth buying or calling a classic. And this movie is a classic! No doubt about it. The horror and suspense that Spielberg creates is incredible and no one can do it like him. I don't have this movie but i've watched it so many times it feels like i have it. Anyway, enough rambling, just go out and see it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie, mpaa rating messed up
Review: This film is great, but parents need to be concerned about the films original PG rating. This film should be rated R due to some bloody shark attacks. If they ever released this film in theaters again, the rating would have to be changed. It wouldn't even work for a PG-13 because that level is supposed to have bloodless dying.the Mpaa is messed up anyway..lol..good film to add to your library, just remember...it should be rated R

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jaws - 25 Years Of Exciting Terror
Review: The best of all horror / fantasy films. The DVD / DTS version is terrific. The outtakes & deleted scenes are a must-see. The DTS sound makes the movie a fitting tribute to Spielberg's inspired direction. See It Before You Go Back In The Water....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 25 years later the beheamoth of the water is back.
Review: The trailer says that it's as if god created the devil and gave it JAWS.This classic film that in 1975 swept us all into Jawsmania it was this film that defined the way creature features are made this is a bible for any filmakers that want to make a film the has a creature in it but it was the fact that JAWS was not just a movie in the mid 70's it was a phonomonon ,Speilberg didn't think at first he could do it as it required technically to do things in movies that never have been attempted so much trouble in one movie was even scarier on the set then the movie itself the shark never worked right sets sank and the movie was almost scrapped , but Speilberg's genious never made him quit his decision not to show the giant well known creature of it's name sake until almost an 1 and 10 minutes into the film and Quints violent but somewhat fitting death gave everyone a heart attack in theatres in the 70's , Jaws was clearly something that had never been done before , you see the eveidence that there is somethin inhuman doing these attacks but when the Jaws finally showed his giant mouth in the scene when brody is thowing fish in the water it was to become one of the most awsome scenes in this movie and when Jaws opend it opend to incredible box office participation the first movie ever to break 100 millon at the box office and went on to become the most praised and one of the most succesful summer films ever it gearned sequels ripoffs and created in it's time movies such as ALIEN and finally Star Wars bested it.But this movie will always be one of Steven Speilbergs best of the masterpeices a classic fun , scary as hell , intelligent blockbuster that will never die in annels of film history and with this dvd you get a look into the history and saga of Jaws and it worth every penny and no way else you should see this movie except on dvd , Peter Benchly's bestselling novel is immortalized on film and now on dvd it will be for all time so for those of you who want to enjoy a great summer in the water the shark is back and he's better then ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jaws 25 years later
Review: This is still a stand up and cheer film. Just released on DVD with DD5.1 and DTS with a beautiful 2.35 anamorphic picture! I saw this on its opening day in June '75 and it never looked or sounded better. The walls shake....and so do you. Anybody for a swim? Don't wait-treats like this do not come often.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Original Gem
Review: This is a fantastic example of what a talented filmmaker can do with a capable cast, a great editor and a wizard of a musician. It's a great pity that Renny Harlin didn't watch this DVD before making The Deep Blue Sea. In fact, it's a pity that Renny Harlin directs!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Solid bite on screen
Review: Sometimes a new DVD can be an exciting purchase for the surprises, such as better sound or picture quality than expected. "Jaws" isn't going to surprise anyone in those areas. In fact, there is nothing spectacular about either the sound or the picture. But it will not disappoint. It is a solid piece of filmmaking and a good quality DVD to complement it. Along with the movie, there are enough extras to keep the viewer entertained for several hours. An hour-long documentary offers a great many insights into the making and marketing of the movie. And it's always fun to see the appearance many years later of the actors and filmmakers from a 25-year-old movie. Their comments reflect how well this film has aged. These types of documentaries help ease the sting of no commentary track. The movie is still as much fun as it was the first time we saw the shark rear its head from the water and heard the police chief utter, "You're going to need a bigger boat." And with this DVD we learn the story behind all the hullabaloo we've heard for years about the mechanical shark not working properly. It's a fun time all the way, from the opening scenes to the last production note.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Top Ten Movies of All Time
Review: One of the top ten movies of all time is reproduced compentently on DVD. Picture and sound quality are first rate given the age of the original. Certainly a must have for any collector of quality films.
