'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!

This movie honestly changed my swimming habits at the beach. Good flick.

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.

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