Jaws

Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition)
$14.98
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.

it's unbelieveable! McFarlane is the best. and to capture the best scene of Jaws is just flat out awsome.
i wonder what McFarlane is going to do next?

I have to admit that I slightly prefer the film over the original Peter Benchley novel. One of the things I had a problem with this book is that there's more politics and social issues than the shark itself. By the end of the second act, you'll feel the urge to skip a few pages and get on with the famous hunt on the Orca boat. Plus, the romance between Hooper and Mrs. Brody just comes out of nowhere. It was truly unnecessary, and I'm glad they took it out in the film.

But there are some good things going here. The descriptions of "the fish" are absolutely terrifying (the human deaths as well). Hooper's annoying personality makes me cheer for the shark when it eats him alive. The similarities between the deaths if Quint and Ahab adds a nice touch in the conclusion of this book. And the ending overall is not your typical Hollywood ending, and so it adds another plus.

I did enjoy reading the original novel, but not as much as I enjoyed the film.
