Featured Comments/Tips
Was good, enjoyed it, and there was plenty of new material here to what I've seen in other Jaws documentaries etc, but just felt a little bit disappointed after having expectations of it being a lot longer for something which could easily have had hours upon hours of interviews, outtakes, anecdotes, to go along with that newer material. Maybe a bit unfair on my part but I had hoped for more. That said, what IS here is definitely worth seeing, particularly if you love Jaws - and if you don't, you're just wrong 😊
