Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This movie's okay
Review: Big bad killer shark starts chomping on anybody dumb enough to swim by and the people who run the beach are afraid to call summer fun off. Very stylish and fun until the 3 guys get on the boat and try to hunt down the shark and kill him or her. Those parts are VERY boring! Pepsi and Pizza

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not good at all
Review: Jaws 4 was The Godfather to Jaws.I don't know how Steven Spielburg directed this.For GOOD Spielburg movies,I suggest you check out Close Encounters of the Third Kind,Raiders of the Lost Ark, or Amistad.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yuck
Review: Besides being absolutely disgusting,this IS the worst movie ever made.Jaws 2 was WAY better.Check out Jaws 4 too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get out of the water!
Review: How nightmarish is a 30 foot monster with daggers for teeth rising up out of the ocean depths to eat you? YIKES! The scenes of shark attack are brutal, and based on true-life attacks. The trio of seamen that attempt to destroy the beast is perfect filmmaking. 3 men at sea, an oceanographer, a salty fisherman, and a cop-lanlubber, and a 30 foot 3 ton monster. All I can say is that the scenes where Quint is killed will give anyone nightmares, and make you think twice about hitting the surf. Scary stuff. Audiences scramed with terror in the 70's. I can see why!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: COME ON!

Summary: A Classic
Review: Jaws is a one of a kind Thriller.the Horror of the Water has never been the same.alot of movies have tried to duplicate what Jaws did nearly 30 years ago but they just don't come even close.even the follow ups to Jaws were so-so to Lame.the sea was never the same again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The grandfather of the Blockbuster
Review: By all accounts, the monumental success of George Lucas' Star Wars was the father of the modern blockbuster. However, this wonderful piece of action/horror preceded it by two years, which I guess makes it the Grandfather.

The performances are wonderful. The action is riveting. And even though the shark definitely looks pretty fake sometimes, it still manages to scare the bejeezus out of you. I still have a hard time going swimming!

This was the first movie to ever break the $100 million dollar mark, a feat which today is standard for most summer movies. But when you consider that an adult ticket was less than three bucks at the time, that makes it a bit more impressive.

This movie broke all previous box office records, and it held those records for two years until audiences were swept into that galaxy far, far away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't go in the water... Don't go in the water...
Review: Is this Spielberg's finest film? Well, it's my favorite of his, that's for sure. It is brilliant in every way, and shows how a movie doesn't have to sacrifice plot and character for action and suspense. Spielberg should've watched "Jaws" before directing his "Jurassic Park" travesties. Imagine how great those films could've been if the characters were half as interesting and combustible as Brody, Hooper and Quint. Even the minor characters, like Mayor Vaughn, and Brody's wife Ellen, as well as Mrs. Kintner, come to vibrant life on the screen that in a way that is often absent from current blockbusters.

"Jaws" touches a primal fear in humanity--that the sea is an alien planet and there are things beneath its placid surface that want to eat us. When I was a kid it was one of those films that was inescapable--before I saw I was worried for week, wondering if you could die of fright (I was 7, forgive me!) It did scare me, but it also exhilirated me, and inspired my deep and lasting love for movies.

By showing the shark in as few scenes as possible Spielberg allows the tension to rise to unbearable heights. Having such colorful characters allows us to escape into the film. The climax is terrific, a blueprint for later action movies. This film is proof that escapist entertainment need not be mindless or offensive by appealing to the lowest common denominator of so-called film fans. This film is a classic--although it is regrettable that people see great white sharks as monsters; any documentary on them on tv shows that this is simply not accurate. Still, I won't even go into a swimming pool at night!
