5.0 out of 5 stars "I Don't Know, I'm Making This Up As I Go" ~ The Birth Of An Icon, January 24, 2008

This review is from: Raiders of the Lost Ark - Widescreen Version (1981) (DVD)

While it may have been the role of Hans Solo in `Star Wars' that planted the name of Harrison Ford within the collective consciousness of the American (and world for that matter) public, it was his portrayal of the adventurous Indiana Jones in the '81 blockbuster `Raiders of the Lost Ark' that made him the iconic film legend he is today.

The first of three epic adventures, `Raiders of the Lost Ark' is in my estimation the best of the series so far (a fourth is now in production so who knows). If this is your genre of entertainment you have found your pot-of-gold. Amazing special effects, superb cast, an unforgettable soundtrack and a script and storyline overflowing with clever, quotable dialogue and heavy supernatural undertones that are absolutely mesmerizing.

Simply the "Best of the Best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Raiders of the Lost Ark, July 9, 2007

This review is from: Raiders of the Lost Ark - Widescreen Version (1981) (DVD)

Thrills, chills, cheeky humor, and pure rollicking fun in the mold of George Lucas's own "Star Wars" mark the ingeniously stylish--and monumentally successful--"Raiders," which introduced us to an intrepid, 1930s-era treasure-hunter, played with charming arrogance by Ford. Who else could wield a bullwhip with such authority? With its delightfully outrageous storyline, state-of-the-art special effects, and marvelous supporting performances from Allen, Alfred Molina, and John Rhys-Davies, the film's an energetic, action-packed rehash of old movie genres that, in Spielberg's capable hands, all feel refreshingly new. Some of the violence may be too graphic for younger viewers, but there's no traveling companion quite like Mr. Jones. "Raiders" is a booby-trapped joy ride for the age-defying adventurer in us all.

We bought this DVD because our old VHS tape of the movie was going bad. Although the disk was used, it works great. Of course, we wouldn't have even bought the disk if we didn't think the movie was great.
