Review of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) by Soham G — 08 Nov 2012

One of the greatest adventure films ever made. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a highly entertaining, highly satisfying, full-throttle, high-octane action/adventure film that can work as effectively today as it did in its time.

The master here is Steven Spielberg taking you to a joyous ride that simply refuses to die down until the end credits start rolling. With its amazing set pieces, relentless pace, sly humor, brilliant visual effects, adventurous music & convincing performances, Raiders of the Lost Ark balances itself very well on quality vs quantity graph & is one of the best of its genre & defined the way blockbusters should be made.
