Jaws

Pros: Picture quality, music, features
Cons: Dialog not surround but still clean

I remember when I was much younger begging my parents to let me se Jaws. Even though we lived in Kansas no where near a body of water, I couldn’t sleep well for several nights afterwards. I just had to pick up the new 25th anniversary DVD when it came...

Pros: Great acting and directing. Digitally remastered edition looks great on DVD.
Cons: Should have stopped with Jaws I.

Just picked up the 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition of the Jaws DVD. I have seen this movie probably about a hundred times before on either VHS or TV. However, this new digitally remastered version is really superb. The colors, scenes, and even...

Pros: A lot better than the horrid book, good cast and effects
Cons: One very unrealistic effect almost ruins ending

This movie is about a shark eating people. But what did you expect from a movie called JAWS.
The story goes like this: One night outside of the beach town of Amity a girl is eaten by a shark. The mayor wants to cover it up so the town will make...

Pros: Three of the best actors ever cast
Cons: I haven't seen any yet!

Forget all this '....just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...' hype! It's started again now, since they've put it on DVD!
I suppose most people think the fundamentals are 'Reading,wRiting and 'Rithmetic?! WRONG! It's more like...

Pros: Cast, Music
Cons: Older FX

If you've never seen JAWS, you need to go out right now and rent it. It has a great score, a wonderful cast, and a terribly dysfunctional shark.

The best part about JAWS is that the giant mechanical shark wouldn't work during the first part...

Pros: Story, Script, Cast
Cons: Dates its age a little, but thats it

Not only is this a classic tale of nature vs. man. Brought to life from the top selling novel, but now is available on DVD in a special edition. Have you ever wondered how they did what they did in the film, were they out in an ocean or in a studio?...

Pros: Great plot, great acting, great movie.
Cons: Why weren't the sequels as good as this one?

Based on the book by Peter Benchley, "Jaws" is a classic. It is the movie that continues to make people afraid to go in the water. Amity Island...a nice little town, with a layed back lifestyle. That is, until a large shark decides to drop by...

Pros: I like it
Cons: see it

The basic story involves a giant shark's attacks on the residents of a New England town, and the efforts of three diverse men to stop it. Eventually, the three set out in a small boat in search of the great white.

The film is a classic because...

Pros: Good movie
Cons: none

This is still a good movie. It keeps you entertained until the end. Keeps you at the edge of your seat as the shark prowls the water in search of its next victim. It's very realistic, it'll make you look around the next time you go into the water....

Pros: the action and the actors
Cons: none

This is one of those movies that was overdone with all the sequel - after sequel - after sequel.

But the original movie Jaws was excellent. Few movies scare me like this one did.

It's about a small island named Amity that mainly...

Pros: alterations for the best
Cons: traumatizing

Generally, a movie based on a book is much much worse than the book itself. But one movie opposes this theory - Jaws. This is an example of a movie outshining its book immensely. The action starts right at the beginning of the movie and doesn't stop....

Pros: Frightening. Musical score adds to tension
Cons: Might be too powerful for some kids.

I enjoyed this movie. I can still hear the tum tum tum of the music as the giant beast approaches. The cast was outstanding and so were the special effects.

Although this is not an event likely to happen, you can't help but imagine that it...

Pros: One of the best movies ever made
Cons: none

All there is at first is darkness followed by the rising music score and a p.o.v. shot from underwater. This is all it takes to be scared...and the story hasn't even begun....

Amity Island, a resort community off the shores of massachusetts...

Pros: ?
Cons: ?

I rented this movie only a few years ago because of the fact that I heard it was the best and all I could say about that is they were right

The plot was very good but the only thing that I did not like is when they hunted the shark and the...

Pros: My favorite part is the music it still sends shivers up and down my spine.
Cons: The movie might be to scary for young children under 9

The movie is a timeless classic my children love the movie as much as I did when I was a kid. Even with the special effects of todays horror films this movie stands the test of time. A great white shark bent on revenge,attacking anything that may venture into the water.
