Read More We all need heroes and Indy is a great one; true many feats are fantastic and just beyond the reach of reality, but what they hey? That's what makes it fun and interesting--and keeps me coming back to watch it again and again. Harrison Ford is really almost an unsung superstar as he seems to be a very quiet, private and humble person which makes him all the more awesome as a person and an actor, to me. I find that in all the Indiana Jones movies, they are small masterpieces in that the acting is superb, the movie/action flows flawlessly, and we end up breahless with warm fuzzies knowing that there's a hero out there, somewhere in time that gives us hope in humanity and ourselves.

Read More Most people of course are too young to remember the old B-movie serials from the 1930s and '40s which this is a loving tribute to. Irregardless, this movie must have parachuted in every living stunt man and woman to make this action-packed popcorn movie. Is it really too much to ask a suspension of disbelief when movies out now include a flying man in a metal suit and another dressed as a bat? Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More One of my 10 favorite movies of all time. You just have to think about the time this was filmed and the kinds of stunts these guys were able to pull off... incredible for it's era. Forget that Indiana Jones:Kingdom of the Crystal Skull crap... this is who Indiana Jones the character really is. If you liked films like The Mummy and National Treasure then you have to think Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, because they paved the way for every other action/comedy/adventure that has come since.

Read More I had forgotten I had seen this but it was still great fun to watch it again. I'm a big fan of movies that have lots of action and chases and stuff like that. It takes me back to the old Saturday matiness when we had to sit in the "Children's Section." Where has it all gone? Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

If you like treasure hunting movies you will like this, if not, then its just another middle of the road movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
