ashishtom-57605 I was so amazed to see a movie like this from those days of 1981. Spielberg magic...!!
lebowskirulz This film had a huge impact on my life. It (as well as Aliens) really introduced me to the films I love. The 80s and 90s were amazing for film while I was growing up. I love all the practical effects and wish they were still used a lot more than they are but cgi has taken over. Oh well. At least it has improved drastically over the years. Anyway, I feel like everyone should see this in their life and if you haven't....get on it
jonahcybarra-82318 Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is a film that helped to found an entirely new genre of films and even in present day is one of the best films of its kind. My dad described it as being a one-of-a-kind experience seeing it in theaters and I can't over-exaggerate how jealous of him I am. This film for me is a film that, as cheesy as it sounds, has honestly effected me not only as a filmmaker but as a person and it is part of the reason I want to be a filmmaker. What Steven Spielberg and George Lucas created was not only a fun adventure film, it is also a technical movie marvel that accomplished things and did new things that helped to make this film truly an icon of American cinema. From the elaborate set pieces to the relatable, compelling characters, this film's narrative pulls the audience in and captures their attention, not letting go until the end credits begin to scroll. Harrison Ford further cements his place in cinematic history as one of the most iconic and beloved actors of all time, perfectly balancing Jones' nerdy, professor-like tendencies with his more daring and adventurous side, all the while being the lovable rogue audiences were first introduced to in his breakout role as Han Solo in George Lucas' Star Wars. Karen Allen plays Jones' first love and partner Marion Ravenwood and she does a great job in her own right of not only keeping up with Jones but also coming into her own as a badass character too. There are a few instances where the animation and choreography fail to stand the test of time but these moments are few and far between and do little to take the audience out of the film. Facing one of the most evil forces in the history of the world, the Nazis, Indiana fights to keep their evil from spreading across the globe with the help of the holy artifact. Supported by a cast of solid secondary characters and put up against enemies easy to hate, Indiana navigates one of his greatest adventures with the help of his friends and his pure stubbornness in the belief that all great artifacts belong in a museum. This film is a must watch for anyone who enjoys movies and it is for good reason that it is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic American films in the history of filmmaking.
Torrin-McFinn77 I remember watching this film in 1996 as part of a school project. We get an adventurer, his mission to find a biblical artifact, and the Third Reich at his heels. It's basically a throwback to the 1920s and 1930s adventure serials that told the sagas of service members battling German soldiers around the world. And that's what you get here. Harrison Ford was great for the role, and now that I'm older I like this film role of his better than Han Solo and all the others. I also like Indiana Jones better than I like James Bond. The women aren't too cliched as damsels in distress and Karen Allen does justice in this film as the streetwise love interest of the main hero. And those locations; what a way to go! From South America to an island in the Mediterranean. After watching my dad's VHS tapes, I became a fan. This is my second-favorite Indy film (after Last Crusade).
