Just when you thought it was safe.... - Jaws Reviews

Wow I must have been about 12 the first time I saw this movie and it left quite an impression. We went to the beach that summer and I did not take one single step into the water. That's the kind of effect Jaws had on alot of people. Someone was bound to make a shark movie eventually, and yes it would have had the same effect on people this one did. The thing with Jaws is that it's right in your face and doesn't hold back. It's balls to the wall shark attacks and it is terrifying. The mechanical shark they used for the movie never seemed to work right so Spielberg had to edit the movie alot and use the Shark point of view angles more then he would have liked, but it ended up working perfectly. He'll tell you to this day that he thought the movie was going to bomb. I'm not going to go any deeper into the plot because it's basically great white shark terrorizes ocean front town, and the sherrif, a marine biologist, and a legendary local shark hunter set out to catch it. I think they need a bigger boat.
