Review of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) by Tanner B — 31 Mar 2016
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) ????
Milestone in action/adventure pictures, nothing short from a master filmmaker at the peak of his powers. Harrison Ford plays archaeologist Indiana Jones in his grandest adventure: finding the Ark of the Covenant. "Opening of the Ark" sequence with Holy Fire burning the Nazis alive is one of the scariest moments of film. Virtuoso editing, rousing John Williams' music; one of the all-time great entertainments. Well deserved Oscar wins for Art-Direction, Sound, Editing, Visual Effects. Followed by three more INDIANA JONES adventures: THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (??), THE LAST CRUSADE (?? 1/2), and THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (???).
