DVD Reviews of Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition)
DVD Review: Great film!
Summary: 4 Stars
Seen this a long time ago when I was a kid and it's still a lot of fun to watch now. Visuals are not that great of course, but the humor is funny and there are lots of interesting "fun facts" to learn about various parts of the film. DVD Review: Jaws in THE CLASSIC MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't have Jaws in your movie collection, you aint got a movie collection!!! Jaws is the absolute best movie to scare the pa-jesus out of you kids with. I love Alan Brody...yum. I watch this movie once a month. Love it! The DVD got here and was in perfect condition. Thanks Amazon!DVD Review: Great, True Horror Film
Summary: 5 Stars
The Film:
Jaws, as most of us know is the story of a lonely shark looking for love ... or it is the story of a vicious eating machine with a penchant for the dramatic. Hailed as an all time classic by most, this is the film that put Spielberg on the map. The emotion from the characters jumps out and grabs you. You can feel the fear and the sorrow in everyone. Not much can be written about it here that has not already been seen elsewhere. I would qualify this as a horror movie. The dramatic tension and the build up creates a real presence of fear and horror, that today's special effects driven splatter fests cannot even dream of achieving
About the DVD:
While this is only a one disc edition, they still had room to include a making of featurette, deleted scenes, outtakes, trailers and a trivia game and a screen saver. A fine assortment of toys that would round out any film, but accent this one perfectly.

DVD Review: Still a classic.
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched this film for the first time when I was 8 years old and that was in 1979. It was playing in a holiday resort cinema at the time. A real run of the mill movie by the time I seen it, so even though I was so young and on my own, it was ok to go in and watch it. I ran out of the cinema and back to our apartment when I seen the head scene. I had nightmares for weeks afterwards. Since then I've seen this classic countless times and I enjoy it every time. There's just something about the atmosphere in the film that I find infectious. The casting is the most natural I've seen. Each of the main characters is so believable, different and interesting in their own way. A tired middle aged cop from New York, a young rich scientist in love with his work, and an old weather beaten shark fisherman with scars to remember most of his encounters. I've yet to see interaction like this between 3 actors. The love\hate atmosphere on the boat is just gripping. I bought the DVD version for my kids. I'd rather the original because in the DVD version in the scene before they sing; `Show me the way to go home', the whale sound effect is smudged out and replaced with a more 90's politically correct whale sound. I thought the original effect added much more to the atmosphere of the film. But it is cool to see it digitally touched up. And what about the Score? Is there a more memorable score for a movie? Space Odyssey 2001 springs to mind but even that masterpiece borrows from the classical world. That music was not written for that film. I loved the book too, but I have to say the movie is better. I know it's strange but it's true. I love movies but I've yet to get the same level of enjoyment from a movie as I did from Jaws. And that includes E.T., Close Encounters, Star Wars and so on. Jaws is a marvel. I'm glad I was so young when I first seen it because it probably wouldn't have had the affect on me that it had had I watched it at an older age. Ok in hindsight and if you like nitpicking you can find a few things wrong with this film. Like the missing chair after the scene were they caught something with the fishing rod, or it wasn't really summer when the filmed it. Big deal! Movies like this are about imagination aren't they? These inconsistencies had to be pointed out to me before I could see them for myself. In my opinion a good movie with no directing or editing errors is not what makes it good movie. Jaws is King and very underrated in my opinion.DVD Review: JAWS bites... in a good way
Summary: 5 Stars
i thought this movie was A+ when i saw it i sure wasnt scared of the water but i'll tell you waht, i was scared of sharks. once again the master george lucas brings us A+ effects, i wish i could give it 6 stars instead of 5 but thats how life is i guess.

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 movie, 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 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 realize that in fact the shark is hunting them--are what entertaining moviemaking is all about. --Marshall Fine
