Summary: "I THINK WE NEED A BIGGER BOAT"
Review: That famous line, uttered by a near-speechless Roy Scheider, was the talk of the summer of 1975. I was only ten at the time, but was very much aware of "Jaws-Mania." My parents wouldn't let me see the film, yet that couldn't keep me from fantasizing about the carnage and thrills of a shark eating people. When I did see it in a re-release in 1979, I was amazed that it surpassed my expectations. The film is a well-crafted suspense tale, directed by a green Spielberg with confidence and aplomb (in my opinion, Spielberg permanently lost it with and after "Empire of the Sun"). Owing much to Melville's "Moby Dick" as well as to National Geographic, the film succeeds in that much of the terror is in what the audience does not see as well as what it does see. Only at the end, with Quint's demise, does the audience become aware of the plasticity of the mechanical shark. Yet one is so caught up in the story, it doesn't matter. And like 1933's "King Kong", the shark in "Jaws" seems to get bigger in every scene, so by the end of the film he beats good ol' Moby measure for measure. The DVD is great, with good extras and a good documentary.

Summary: "We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat...."
Review: This 1975 blockbuster by Steven Spielberg became the first real summer blockbuster film. Having grossed about $260 million at the box office, it opened the doors for the epic summer film. Not
many of the films in years since, has been able to equal the sheer brilliance of Jaws. Roy Scheider stars as a local sheriff who's quaint little coastal/tourist town is suddenly in terror as a great white shark begins attacking swimmers at the beach. In
comes Richard Dreyfuss, who plays a shark specialist, who tries to help the sheriff. Robert Shaw is also on hand as a local fisherman who wants to hunt the killer down and kill it once and for all. There are numerous scenes that are classic and incredibly memorable. The shark itself looks undeniably real and is scary as hell. There are scenes that are destined to make your heart beat faster and your pulse to race. Spielberg executes it so well, and gets his actors to deliver such real performances, that it all comes off as very real and believeable. There is nothing more scarier than when it's real and hits close to home. Know what I mean?. This is one of the finest thrillers ever made hands down. It spawned a pretty decent sequel, but then went downhill(fast)with Parts 3 and 4. Jaws is still one of the best movies ever made. Nothing can match the terrifying theme music either. A classic.

Summary: Jaws
Review: This movie was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It basically tells the true story of the 1916 shark attacks in NJ. I highly recommend seeing this movie, even though the shark is a little phony, it is great for those interested in sharks

Summary: A Classic Movie!
Review: This was a giant of a movie from Stephen Speilberg. The actors
who starred in this movie ,Roy Scheider,Robert Blake,and Richard Dreyfus added to the quality of this movie. A great white shark is on a killing rampage in this resort city. The police chief is forced to call upon professional shark hunters. It is nonstop action from there on out. The shark is truly a monster.The special effects in this movie add to the scary influence of the
monster shark. There are many struggles with the killer shark.
The ending of the movie is truly worth waiting for.This is an
outstanding movie that you will indeed enjoy watching. Classic
is the perfect word for this movie.

Summary: a heart pounding action adventure
Review: jaws was a groundbreaking film. arguably steven spielbergs masterpiece this film deserves to go on the list of the one hundred greatest movies of all time. the film's actors roy schieder, richard dreyfuss, robert shaw perfectly drive the movie along. the sound and music is incredible and unforgettable. easily surpasses the book it is absolutely magnificent. the first film to make over 100 million dollars it never runs out of drama. the chase at the end is gut wrenching. they needed a bigger boat alright but the movie wouldn't have been as exciting then. the line "we're gonna need a bigger boat is one of the best phrases ever uttered in history.this is one movie nobody can live without.Pure action!

Summary: Greatest Shark Movie So Far And Forever Will Be
Review: This movie is great.When I first saw this movie(about 5 years ago)it made me stay away from the water for months.The way the shark looked was so awesome and real!!Just think this movie was made in the 70's but it looks so real!!just think...they didint have computers to make affects or anything like that but they still pulled through and had made a very real looking life like killer shark.The charecters are great and have lots and lots of depth.Its realy thrilling to and has lots of scares and action.It has a pretty high body count and its not that gory but its still cool to watch after jaws draggs his victims down into the cold abbyis and then you see all this blood cloud over the water.The most thrilling part id say is at the end when the ship is sinking and the main charecter is up on the sail and has to figure out a way to kill jaws before the boat completely sinks and he becomes a meal for the killer shark!!!!Very suspencful.There are also alot of other scens that was very thrilling but none as much as the final showdown between the main charecter and the killer shark,I dont wanto tell you any more but you have probly already seen it mainly because its been around forever.Buy this movie and also get jaws 2 but pass up jaws 3 and 4,they are just an embaresment to the brilliance of the first 2 jaws movies.
