Jaws grossed $470.7 million over a $9 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1975 and the 9th-highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. It is based on the novel by Peter Benchley and is the first film in the Jaws franchise. It is rated M for violence and coarse language (in Australia). The following are the 10 most recent IMDb reviews for the film.

Most people don’t realise that “Jaws” the whale is actually the hero of this movie, harmlessly going about his business eating fish and planktons like they do.
Okay, and a dog. And a few people.
The police cop stars interfering with things, firstly by getting a man with a beard and glasses to come and scare everybody with stories of being eaten. The fool even encourages local fishermen to murder the wrong whale, and afterwards cuts its belly open, when all it has eaten is a car.
Then another man with a beard and a hat comes along and annoys everybody by scratching a blackboard. He takes the other two men out on his boat and, to his credit, gives the whale (Jaws) something to eat – himself!
The police cop however makes a total mess of things and tries to feed the whale with a boat, then a compressed air cylinder. To make things worse he then tries to shoot the whale and can’t even get that right, and shoots the cylinder by mistake. This blows the whale’s head off. WHO’S THE KILLER NOW, EH?
The best bit is when the zombie comes out of the hole underneath the boat and scares the frogmen off.
This is the movie that coined the term “blockbuster.”
This is the movie that makes you play a piano tune in your head when you go near water.
This is the movie that launched Spielberg.
This is the movie of all movies.
This is the greatest movie of all time.

Over the course of many years and decades, Steveb Spielberg is one of the best film directors to date. With films such as: E.T, Jurassic Park, Schinder’s List, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, The Gonnies, Saving Private Ryan, The Last Crusade, and Lincoln (Hell, I even have my respects for Ready Player One and The Adventures Of TinTin) you would expect it to be quiet a challenge for a film to surpass these ones. Jaws however is a different story, considered the best thriller ever made this film is a legendary moment in cinema history and why I watch films today. From the eerie beginning to the satisfying end, this movie will have you on your toes and make you scared to even go back in the water. Experiences like these should let you know that Steven Spielberg has succeeded in his goal.
10/10
Jaws however for some reason did get sequels (We really did not need a sequel, it ruins the satisfaction of the shark being killed in the first one!) so in case ur wondering, here’s my ranking of the Jaws films:
4: Jaws 3-D 3: Jaws 2 2: Jaws The Revenge 1: Jaws

I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and
bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever
before.
