This month was the BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER EVER edition. We pulled 3 of the top summer blockbusters of all time. BIG NAMES, BIG BUDGET, BIG EFFECTS- movies that served as the blueprint for the movies we still flock to theaters to see today. All 3 movies were helmed by director Steven Spielberg and have made their indelible mark on our popular culture.

Here’s what the teen audience had to say…

Every PaaM night, we ask our teens to give us their honest reviews of the winning movie. We then select voices that capture the range of opinions and critiques. Read what Madison (Resident PaaM Critic), Kayla & Marge (PaaM Regulars) and Emma (TRaC Star) thought about this iconic film.

 

Choose three words to describe this movie.

Madison: CLASSIC, SUSPENSEFUL, “AWESOME-TACULAR”
Kayla: PREDICATBLE, IRONIC, SUSPENSEFUL
Marge: OLD FASHIONED, CLASSIC HORROR, LONG
Emma: SUSPENSEFUL, INTRIGUING, WELL-SHOT

 

What was your favorite scene? Bonus: Why? SPOILER ALERT!

Madison: My favorite scene was the “we’re gonna need a bigger boat” scene! Why? Because it is so incredibly iconic and it is also kind of suspense-fully awesome!
Kayla: My favorite scene was when the Chief overcame his fear of the water.
Marge: My favorite scene was when Quint dies because his arrogance has caught up with karma.
Emma: When Hooper tried to convince the mayor to close . the beaches because it shows you that the good guys don’t always wn and that sometimes good chocies take convincing,

 

Would you recommend this to a friend? Why or why not?

Madison: Yes! Of Course, it is a classic and the direction and acting is totally on point! It is a timeless movie too because people will always be kind of scared of sharks!
Kayla: No, because we all know what’s going to happen.
Marge: Sure, it’s a classic film.
Emma: I definitely would because this movie is beautifully shot and is very timeless, on top of being a thriller playing on realistic scenarios.
