A tragic tale of a lost and distressed fish hunted down by an aquaphobic police chief, a disgraced oceanographer trying to regain some of his tarnished reputation and a nasty drunk with a fetish for bowlegged women. All of them egged on by a corrupt mayor trying to find…

demi adejuyigbeJun 14, 2020Remember how every educated person in this movie warns the mayor about the imminent threat of mass death, but the mayor doesn’t want to hurt the economy by closing the beaches like he logically should? So he opens the beaches and more people die??? Haha that was crazy,…

I’d slap the sh— (Again, can I say that here?) out of that mayor. Seriously. What is wrong with politicians? Is it a requirement they have to be ignorant, in denial, or some combination of the two?

lex dislikedJaws-♾️/10 i hate this film with an absolute burning passion. it ruins my day js thinking about it
Nolan Behnke lovedJawsJust a classic movie. Going through and really learning about the film and understanding what they did to make this movie what it is makes it just that much better. But overall a good movie that everyone needs to see. 8.9/10

Ehhh
Victor K likedJawsThere are a few surprising scares in this, though this is foremost an adventure against an insurmountable creature movie. It’s a played out premise now but I’m surprised how the sorta first of its kind develops. They make every character interaction worth its screentime really…
Neophyte Reviews lovedJawsWhat better way to celebrate the 4th of July than by doing a first-time watch of one of Steven Spielberg’s classics, Jaws! Even if you’ve never seen this film, it is more than likely that you have seen many of its iconic images and stills. 5 out of 5 rating

For a 50 year old film, it still is intense. The score still adds to the tension. See it for the nostalgia. The big screen like IMAX makes the film even better. it makes you realize this film was meant to be enjoyed in a theater, not on a TV.
SWsherry weidmannJust as great a movie today as it was 50 years ago! Even though we knew what was coming it was still great! LOL And the 3D was a def plus!
CHCarle HildrethIn 4K was a dream!!! Go see while you can!!

Importantly, Spielberg instinctively knows exactly when to keep his camera still and allow what's in front of it to take precedence.

Spielberg balances terror on the water with a rich portrait of an island police chief (Roy Scheider) torn between public-safety concerns and a community that thrives on the tourist dollar.
