I just love this movie—exciting, fun, a little scary! :)

Joshua Tsopanarias

One of the all time great classics of cinema. Even if it’s a little dated, Spielberg presents something that’s both entertaining and iconic.

Great movie, love the tension and anticipation

a classic that would make anyone want to avoid swimming in the ocean for awhile

Parker Christian Durham

A timeless masterpiece by Steven Spielberg!

A 2-hour long thriller on the stupidity of humankind

More engaging to my modern sensibilities than I'd expected, but still a bit too simplistic to live up to its legendary hype, at least to me.

Definitely got old but the tension and the music still make it quite stressful, the shark feels realistic, still pretty good

The first summer blockbuster! Good tension, dialogue, and characters. Effects are a little dated, but still good enough since you see little

A classic film with many references used today. A tad scary but mainly nostalgic
