Best movie ever.

Posted : 1 month, 3 weeks ago at Sep 27 13:24
This is absolutely best movie that I have ever seen! Actors (included my favorite actor Harrison Ford) are all great! Still the most best thing in Raiders of the Lost Ark are brilliant action scenes, perfect plot and wonderful landscape. I have seen this numerous times and I haven't never been bored to this. One of the most best films in the year 1981.

Rating : 10/10

The Best

George Lucas. Steven Spielberg. Harrison Ford. A trio of names that entered the lexicon of sci-fi cinema with their earlier star-faring efforts. Now, for this film, all three team up for the first time ever, but instead of a tale that took place a long time ago, in a distant galaxy far far away, this time it's not that long ago, & much more down to Earth. This modern take on the "old serials" follows the adventuress of Indiana Jones, an archeologist/adventurer/university professor/whip-meister, who finds himself in a race against time, for the Ark Of The Covenant, an ancient artifact which according to legend, can summon the power of God Himself. Thus begins a world-hopping journey that includes cadres of Nazis, snake filled pharoah tombs, Cairo scimitar-wielding assasins & maybe eve...Read more

"Here, take this, Wave it at anything that slithers.The whole place is slitherin'!" Directed by: Steven Spielberg Starring: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, John Rhys- Davies, Ronald Lacey Genre: Action/Adventure/Thriller Running time: 115 minutes My review: Join the legendary hero Indiana Jones in one of the greatest film adventures of all time. Accompanied by his feisty, independent ex-flame Marion Ravenwood, the two-fisted archeologist embarks on a thrilling quest to locate the mystical Ark of the Covenant. Indy must discover the Ark before the Nazis do, and he has to survive poison, traps, snakes and treachery to do so. Explore the darkest jungles of South America, the bustling marketplaces of Cairo, and a top-secret submarine base with Indiana Jones as y...Read more

Superb adventure movie!

"For nearly three thousand years man has been searching for the lost ark. It's not something to be taken lightly. No one knows its secrets. It's like nothing you've ever gone after before." The Indiana Jones films became the most influential adventure films in cinematic history. The films made their mark on the genre and still influence the way adventure films are made to this day. What's the allure of the series? Put rather simply, all the Indiana Jones films impeccably merge action, exhilarating adventure, dazzling locations, marvellous humour and a mixture of great characters. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the first instalment in the highly acclaimed Indiana Jones series, and still the superior film. The elegance and class of this movie is so far unrivalled and unsurpassed even after se...Read more

The first and the best of the Indiana Jones trilogy, it has everything needed to justify watching it every year: the iconic but intellectual hero, the adventure and the chases, the epic spectacle, John Williams’ outstanding score, and sheer excitement throughout!

Rating : 8/10

Simply the best

As a child I wanted to be Indiana Jones, going off on some adventure, saving the day from evil forces. Back then I preferred Temple of Doom but having re-watched the series as an adult, nothing can beat Raiders of the Lost Ark in terms of story, humor, score and outrageous stunts.

From the opening sequence of the Paramount logo turning into an actual mountain to the closing credits, Raiders takes you on an action-packed ride. I love the way this film was shot - the use of silhouettes (the sequence in Nepal is one highlight) gives me shivers each time I see it. It's plain to see that all involved brought their talent to the table in this movie.

A classic for all time.
