Review of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) by Steve M — 30 Mar 2013
There is no denying that Steven Spielberg's first foray into full-scale action started with "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Made as a tribute to the 1930s adventure serials, Spielberg collaborated with George Lucas in order to make one helluva of masterpiece with Harrison Ford taking on his second and probably most iconic character he has ever played (Sorry Hans).
Despite the special effects looking dated in the age of CGI (which didn't help "The Kingdom of the Crystul Skull), the set pieces are still exciting and perfectly executed sequences. Let's also not forget John Williams' excellent work with a great composition including an iconic score that will always be associated with the character and be remembered forever.
