It could make bank for 7 days during shark week.

Yes, they would have to use a computer instead of machines for the special effects. Outside of that I think it was a good movie in general.
I was in Miami the week the movie opened. For days, people did NOT go in the ocean...
Throw in that they can create horrors that are much more scary than sharks these days.
All of the reasons why it would not work today are all the reasons it would imho I am sick of cg and no camera shots lasting more than a nano second I could go on but I am going to pop my dvd in of jaws thanks
6. It isn’t based on a comic book franchise.
7. It’s been done before and it isn’t cool enough to reboot the cycle.
8. Killer shark films have jumped the shark.
9. Sharks/zombies don’t eat zombies/sharks.
10. Left Shark at Superbowl 2015 turned sharks into a laughing stock.
Completely disagree with the author.
CGI is ruining movies. I can understand using it for the Marvel and other superhero movies, but for your run of the mill action flick?
We all saw it at a drive in the week it came out we are all ocean boat surfing people we went down to toes beach in playa del Rey after the movie about midnight we all went in we did not stay in long we did get the hee bee gee bees running out with our backs to the sea
nor that he would be married, for a long time, and that the family would eat together at the supper table..
and that there even was a big shark, or any sharks, global warming and all....
Need a new horror flick about Catfish.
Real reason: Some woman (taller than all the men) would have to be the hero. Yawn.
I hate to break your heart, but in the book the wife and the shark guy have an affair. I was so glad they left that out of the movie.
And, in today’s world, would there have to be the obligatory homosexual character????
June 13, 1975, I was deep sea fishing out of Ensenada Mexico. One of the kids was running all over the boat, and we were in rough seas. I told my buddy that kid was gonna fall off the boat. About 20 minutes later he did...... I went into rescue mode and dove into the water..... sure seamed I had a lot of time to think about sharks (Jaws) before I hit the water, anyway, I finally hit the water and the little jerk actually saved me.
I thought Jaws the movie was much better than Jaws the book. A pretty rare thing.
My #2 movie right behind Lawrence of Arabia.
