Pauline Kael
It may be the most cheerfully perverse scare movie ever made. Even while you're convulsed with laughter you're still apprehensive, because the editing rhythms are very tricky, and the shock images loom up huge, right on top of you.
Judith Crist
The result is a fast-paced, straight-line thriller that moves without pause toward the climactic contest at sea between three men and a 25-foot, 3-ton great while killer shark.
Charles Champlin
It is a coarse-grained and exploitive work which depends on excess for its impact. Ashore it is a bore, awkwardly staged and lumpily written.
Gene Siskel
What this movie is about, and where it succeeds best, is the primordial level of fear.
J. Hoberman
A near Hitchcockian exercise in transference of guilt and making the audience pay for its illicit pleasures.
David Denby
Spielberg may be the man who created the new Hollywood, but in his first megahit he summed up what was best in the old -- the humor, the perversity, and the storytelling integrity of Alfred Hitchcock.

Vincent Canby
Mr. Spielberg has so effectively spaced out the shocks that by the time we reach the spectacular final confrontation between the three men and the great white shark, we totally accept the makebelieve on its own foolishly entertaining terms.

Excellent classic One of the best thrillers of it's time and today. Jaws is truly Spielberg at his best. Shot in a much more suspenseful way then what you would see in present horror/thrillers, Jaws takes after a much more artistic approach which is better for storytelling. The film has great acting and a wonderful storyline that captures a realistic feel. Jaws is rated PG due to an older rating system, there are scenes that would have at least persuaded a PG-13 by today's standards. Keep this in mind.
That's some bad hat Harry Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. I could go on all day with quotes from this movie. Itb isbabsure thing 5 star must see. If you want to get real creept out, watch this in the middle of the night and thend go for a swim. It won't be if you get bit, it will be when. Do it and you'll know what I mean.
Omg I give it 4 stars because it is a great movie and amazing graphic but they put sharks out to be bad creatures which they don't attack that Austin but overall it is a good movie in the scenes in the actors make it come together perfectly overall it is a great great movie but quit putting sharks out there to be bad!!! They're my favorite animal
I have seen this a million and one times I love this movie Rate this movie 5 stars it is awesome, according to the movie you can tell that the shark is fake....so it is less scary, more interesting, and more! I suggest you shall try the movie out, it is a great movie, though it is old it still rocks! :) Your welcome for this information. Always, Madison M.
JAWS THE MOST AUSOME MOVIE! I HAVE SEEN IT SOO MANY TIMES, I CAN'T EVEN COUNT. I COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE IT WHEN I WAS 13. I SAW MY MOTHERS BOOK COVER. SHE WAS READING "JAWS". OH MAN WHAT A THRILL.
