Can You Say Shark?
This was a really great movie that wouldscare anyone under 10. I think the movie did not scare me because the violence and the shark did not look that real.

The fact it used to be "R" should say something
Once a movie is R, it can never truly be "PG". ****I haven't seen it****, and I don't plan on seeing it. Yup. But being a Spielberg movie, it has to be good. Just way too violent and scary.

Thrill Ride that WILL scare you completely senseless.
This movie is awesome. But it's very violent, has strong language and smoking is common (historically correct.) Keep in mind that even though it is PG it would definately be PG-13 or maybe even R today. A graphic scene involves a man going one on one with the shark and blood squirting out of his mouth as he shakes back and forth. A severed leg, a woman and a kid are eaten off screen and we see a decomposed severed head. 2 sharks are killed and are both focused on for a LONG time. Lots of Blood everywhere. For mature teens or people that love horror movies, this one is a must see.

Good scare for older teens
It's scary. The shark eats a lot of people, making a lot of blood. I am not sure about what age this should be. I saw it when I was really young and it never scared me, but I saw the Exorcist at age 7 and that really scared me, so everything else paled in comparison. So, use your judgment. You don't want your kid to never go in the ocean again. :)

Jaws
I'm still baffled why this movie is rated PG. but I dont have any problem with it. Masterpiece of a movie, and a must own for all lovers of action/horror films. Without a doubt one of the most remarkable movies in Steven Spielberg's filming history. 5 stars, and nothing less.

Bloody and scary classic is best left for mature teens.
My MPAA rating: PG-13 (borderline with R) for intense strong bloody shark violence, pervasive threat, some language, and brief female nudity.

Jaws is still Scary today
Jaws is a classic horror film with frightening music and plenty of scary parts. It was pretty good, but a bit outdated. Sometimes the squirting blood looks like fruit punch and the shark looks sometimes laughably fake. But, even though the special effects don't get an A+, the quality of the movie itself does. Good for kids 10+

Boring as dishwater.
I don't know wether its the music in the backround or the colors but there is something in this movie that bored me to death.The only good thing about this movies is the supspense.
