'Jaws' succeeds on almost every level. It is terrifying without being grotesque, and spectacular without being unbelievable (if the shark looks a little fake, remember that, at the time 'Jaws' was released, 'Space Invaders' was on the cutting edge of computer graphics design and there was no such thing as 'Shark Week on the Discovery Channel'). The suspense is potent and the action thrilling, but the humor, emotion, and character development make this movie much more than a summer blockbuster.

Terrifyingly awesome without being cheesy and too predictable.
The protagonists are fighting a shark which has no super powers.
The suspense and thrills are well crafted and not over exaggerated.
There is only 1 major jump scare which is perfect in my book.
A recommended and well paced thriller!

Amazing! This is an exciting thriller. Even today (I had never seen it) this film made me sit on the corner of my seat.

The best things about this movie are its poster and the theme song.

I didn't really connect with this movie - I thought it was too long. The acting is good enough, the script too. Watching it in theaters must have been an unforgettable experience - an experience that, in the 70s, would make me rate the movie a top ten. However, watching it for the first time in 2021, I found it boring. Great, but redundant.

The first Horror movie I seen as a child and still defend to this day. Its amazing ability to make you jump back in your seat and in more recent years laugh till you run out of breath is truly a testament to what a great movie this is.
10/10

Sensational in its time of premiere. Today it is also defending itself against its followers, which of course appeared.

“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Director Steven Spielberg launches the modern blockbuster with the horror-thriller Jaws. When the mangled remains of a swimmer wash ashore small-town police chief Martin Brody comes to believe that a rogue shark is prowling the waters and attempts to close down the beaches. Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw lead the cast and deliver some pretty good performances. But the real star, of course, is the shark, and Spielberg does an excellent job at giving it a real sense of terror. And one cannot overestimate the impact of John Williams’ score, which heightens the tension and suspense, taking it to the next level. Playing on our primal fears, Jaws is a terrifying monster movie.

The movie probably did as much good for the industry as it did bad for sharks.

But there is no denying this is one of the classics and I do like it. It has one of the most memorable scores ever, written John Williams. My parents didn't wanted me to see it but I was very resourceful even as a teenager. Since I never lived anywhere where there is even the slightest chance of meeting a shark I was never terrified by it. Interestingly on the Making-of someone said they never got any letters concerning scared children.
There are some really good scare moments and even in HD, with great picture and sound, the shark looks good.
I remember the sequels being really awful and even some tries of making a shark movie in the not so distant past failed big time. But this is one you should see.

Other than the fact that I am a completist, I can think of no real reason to post a review of "Jaws". Everyone knows about it. It's a part of our culture. Heck, this whole "Shark Week" craze that happens every summer is a direct result of its continuing popularity. This film set the table for all summer blockbusters to come. It set up Steven Spielberg for greatness.

When I rank my favorite films, this one is on the list. I don't know if it's in my Top 10, but only because I have seen it so often that I think I take it for granted. Maybe I ought to base my personal Top 10 on the number of re-watches. If that were my method of measurement, "Jaws" might be my favorite movie ever.
