Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
As with George Lucas' other movie franchise, there's a vein of mysticism running through Indiana Jones' big-screen adventures. Watching the trilogy back to back in this box set it's possible to unravel the chronology and chart the spiritual journey of our hero: the idealistic Young Indy ("It belongs in a museum", implores River Phoenix in the opening escapade of The Last Crusade) grows up to become a cynical fortune-hunter seen trading archaeological treasures with Chinese gangsters at club "Obi-Wan" in The Temple of Doom. From there we follow his path to redemption via three mystical religious objects: respectively Hindu (the Shankara stones in Temple of Doom), Jewish (the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders), and Christian (the Holy Grail itself in Last Crusade).

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

Synopsis
In 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' Indiana Jones is assigned to find the mystically empowered Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can obtain it for their own evil use. In 'Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom' Indiana goes in search of the Ankara Stone, but manages to free hundreds of children in the process. In 'Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade' the fearless archaeologist is once again pitted against the Nazis as he musters up every last ounce of courage and cunning to rescue his father and the Holy Grail.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY THE BEST TRILOGY EVER!, 11 Oct 2002
By H. Trivass "snuffle007" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Well whatever people may think about Indiana Jones there is no denying that this is the best trilogy bar none!

Harrison Ford was perfectly cast as the action hero with a smile! He is far better than James Bond as IJ humour is much funnier than JB, his action sequences are more exciting and plus, IJ does have fears! He hates snakes! Very rarely do we see a hero with a phobia!

These are classic action/comdey/romance films that are pure class.

My favourite is Last Crusade as it stars Sean Connery in one of the best cameos EVER! We also get to see the late great River Phoenix as a young Indiana and we see how it all started!

Idiana dodges Nazi's, snakes, bullets, huge rolling rocks, cult mind control, treaturous women, bombs, spiders, demons from the Ark of the Covonet, and ancient curses from the Holy Grail!

It's all rip-roaring stuff with a instantly recognisable musical score (better than star wars!)some real belly laughs, great action, and some dark and spooky spells and curses!

Perfect for the winter nights with a nice mug of hot chocolate, for you to curl up with on the sofa!

A must have for every video collection. One thing I will say is, it should be brought out on DVD! Even so, 5 stars just doesn't do it justice!

(have you noticed that Harrison Ford is in the two greatest trilogy's of all time! Star Wars and Indiana Jones! Hmmm...bizarre!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic viewing - The original Lara Croft!, 7 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This is why we have Bank Holiday's. Classic viewing with humor, suspense, the good guy, the bad guys and of course...... the obligatory girl falling for Indie every time.
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant, 23 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Being a huge Harrison Ford fan, I feel that these three films are his best. Pure delight from start to finish.

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 !
