Summary: In 1975, director Steven Spielberg brought Peter Benchley's best-selling novel to the screen with stunning power and unbearable suspense. Jaws left an indelible mark upon the movie-going (and beach-going!) public, distilling a sea of fear from these five words: "Don't go in the water." Once the terror begins, Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw must join forces on a desperate quest to destroy a killer embodying nearly three tons of white death. (Universal Pictures)
Country: USA
Directed By: Steven Spielberg
Written By: Peter Benchley

Jaws is the original Summer Blockbuster--it's basically perfection as far as those types of films go. I happen to enjoy my Summer Blockbusters, though, so it's hard not to absolutely love this. The cast is amazing and the suspense is fantastic.

I wanted to really hate this but the suspense really builds up here, mostly because of the music. Now I know it's a fiction what-if" kind of story about what a shark COULD do but 99.9% of the time will NOT do, but really it's unrealistic shark behavior which unfortunately caused a lot of misconceptions and gave sharks a bad name. Also gave birth to the blockbuster, for better or for worse. That bias brings my rating down a little, but a classic that I can find entertaining today.

I'm giving Jaws a 0, yes a 0. Why? Because it single handedly caused an irrational panic that lead to THOUSANDS of shark murders. Shame.

Underneath the now dated special effects, there is an interesting little film about tourist traps and the lengths such towns will go to to stay in business.
