I went to the theater to see Jaws. It is 50 years old, but it was my first time seeing it. I knew very little about the story, and that made it exciting.

It Was Scary!

I did not know when the scary parts would happen. I jumped when the shark first appeared. I was worried for the characters, and it made me feel scared.

The Movie Looks Great!

The special effects were very good. The shark looked real. I felt like I was on the boat with the characters.

Watching with Others Was Fun

Many people watched with me. When they laughed and screamed, it made the experience more exciting. I understand now why Jaws is a great movie. You should see it on a big screen!
