Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

In the vastly overrated 1998 book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, author Peter Biskind puts the blame for Hollywood's blockbuster mentality at least partially on Steven Spielberg's box-office success with this adaptation of Peter Benchley's bestselling novel. But you can't blame Spielberg for making a terrific film, which Jaws definitely is. The story of a Long Island town whose summer tourist business is suddenly threatened by great white shark attacks on humans bypasses the potboiler trappings of Benchley's book and goes straight for the jugular with beautifully crafted, crowd-pleasing sequences of action and suspense. This is supported by a trio of terrific performances by Roy Scheider (as the local sheriff), Richard Dreyfuss (as a shark specialist), and particularly Robert Shaw (as the old fisherman who offers to hunt the shark down). The sequences on Shaw's boat--as the three of them realise that in fact the shark is hunting them--are what entertaining moviemaking is all about. --Marshall Fine --This text refers to another version of this video.


Additional Features

The digitally remastered 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition features a Steven Spielberg retrospective on the making of Jaws, with exclusive footage, behind-the-scenes takes, and rare interviews. Also included are photos, storyboards, production drawings, and the original theatrical trailer.

5.0 out of 5 stars did for swimming what psycho did for showering (4.5/5), Aug 30 2007
By falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
this is the movie that ushered in a whole new era for movies.the
original shark movie.the movie quickly became part of pop culture
history, and has inspired(and i use that term loosely,for the most
part)many pale imitations and pretenders.but no one has had anywhere
near the impact "Jaws" had and continues to have.this movie did for
swimming in the ocean what psycho did for showering.the movie has an OK
story,but that is not the focal point of this movie.what drives this
movie is the suspense and,at times almost unbearable tension.and that's
coming from someone who had seen the movie at least once before,so i
knew what to expect.the main reason for this is the the musical score
by the great John Williams.his theme for Jaws may be the best ever
written and performed,and also the most famous.the only other contender
in this category is "Star Wars",much of which Williams is also famous
for.i also like the colourful characters,especially the three main ones
played by Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss,i am not going
to say anything about the plot,because it's pretty obvious.if you
haven't seen this movie,you owe it to yourself,and then you can decide
whether it is worthy of all it's praise and lives up to it's
reputation.keep in mind,"Jaws" was released in 1975.what is undeniable
is that this movie revolutionized film-making for years.for me the
movie "Jaws" is a strong 4.5/5
