Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
But that's just the subtext. Along the way, this knight-errant archaeologist undertakes improbable adventures (featuring spiders, snakes, rats, insects and Nazis galore), rescues damsels in distress (even when they don't want to be rescued, like Kate Capshaw in Temple of Doom) and still finds time to bond with his dad (Sean Connery, in one of cinema's great cameo roles as Dr Jones Sr.). Steven Spielberg revels in Lucas' recreation of 1930s cliffhanger serials, infusing every scene with kinetic energy and infectious enthusiasm, and creating any number of iconic sequences that have become touchstones of cinematic history (the opening of Raiders has been parodied innumerable times in everything from chocolate commercials to The Simpsons). Director and producer are more than ably assisted by regular composer John Williams, whose swashbuckling Korngold-inspired "Raiders" theme casts Harrison Ford as a modern-day Errol Flynn. Although a fourth movie has long been promised, this trilogy plays like a self-contained whole that leaves nothing wanting: from the witty dialogue and breathtaking action choreography to the near-perfect casting and lovingly detailed period production design, this is popular movie-making at its very peak. --Mark Walker

While watching Raiders of the Lost Ark I totally forgot that it was made in the early 80's. Without already knowing the truth, you could have told me that they were filmed last year and I would have believed you.
The storys are original and fantastic, the script is well writen, and they are well directed.
Harrison Ford bonds perfectly with his character giving just the right blend of looks, muscles, brains and humour.
Sean Connary acts very well in the final film 'The Last Crusade' even if his character is an annoying old fart.
Overall, the three films are faultless. Perfection in a box.
Having seen these three films again, I am hoping that the rumours of a forth Indiana Jones film is true.
In short, Buy It !
All you have to do to enjoy these films, is switch off your negative chip Stop denying that you have ever pretended you were Indiana Jones with the whip and everything and enjoy them the way they should be enjoyed:- A cup of coffee/Tea a packet of digestives, feet on the sofa and away you go.
One negative point..... Put them onto DVD!
Harrison Ford was perfectly cast as the action hero with a smile! Read more
