Review of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) by Daniel C — 27 Feb 2016
The Indiana Jones series is, admittedly, not a deep one. It doesn't deal with Catholic guilt or wrestle with the problem of pain. However, the Spielberg and Lucas collaboration demonstrates the finest of movie-making magic.
From start to finish, each film is a heart-pounding, laugh-inducing, technically-triumphant romp; they are fun, humorous, and at times even sweet. And as a story told perfectly-with characters that matter and clearly understood motivations-Raiders of the Lost Ark represents the best of the series and a movie we will not soon forget as we remember back to Dr.
Jones's fear of snakes, unconventional tactics in a knife-fight, and all of his exciting adventures.
