Amazon.co.uk Review
As with George Lucas's other movie franchise, there's a vein of mysticism running through the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Watching all three back-to-back 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 Of The Lost Ark), 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 really don't want to be rescued, such as 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's recreation of 1930s cliff-hanger serials, infusing every scene with kinetic energy and infectious enthusiasm and creating any number of iconic sequences that have become touchstones of cinematic history. 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. 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, this is popular movie-making at its very peak. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Entry for the New Indy, 22 May 2008

By	Ford Ka (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This may not be the perfect choice for Indiana Jones afficionados but there is quite a few billion people around who never had the chance to see the movies before. These three film rank among the best adventure movies of the last half century (OK - they ARE the best ;) so don't think too long but grab at the opportunity to be really prepared for the last part of Indiana Jones' adventures.
You get a handful of new (and not so new) extra material thrown in but it is the movies that really matter. And they are so fresh and full of live that it is hard to believe it has been a while since Indiana Jones seemed to have retired for good.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother...., 7 May 2008

By	M. Evans - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you already own the 4 disc boxset released a few years ago, there really is no point in getting this. Yes, the extras are different but not as extensive or interesting as those on the 4 disc set. Even if you don't own the films, I would advise either getting the earlier 4 disc box set, or maybe waiting till later in the year when they're bound to release another boxset containing the new film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Paramount Pictures... , 15 May 2008

By	S. Hurford "WorkingClassHero" (The Shire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...must be having a laugh!
Temple of Doom is still the rubbish cut version!
The runtime on the actual case of this release lists this film at 114 minutes, the 2003 case lists it at 112 minutes. Closer inspection of the films themselves by placing the discs in the player show they run for EXACTLY the same amount of time. If you are looking for the uncut version of this film, DO NOT be fooled by the listed run time of this DVD. It does NOT clock in at 118 mins.
This film was originally attacked by the BBFC waaaaaay back in 1984 and trimmed by 66 secs for excessive violence.
As it is now 24 years down the line one would assume this film would get a 12 certificate. After all, that's why the Motion Picture Association of America created the PG-13 rating in the wake of Temple, as barely got it's PG cert over there. In the US, the film is uncut and STILL rated PG. Whatever has happened we consumers have been left high and dry again!
It appears either Paramount have made a mistake, or are trying to pull a fast one and get completists like myself to purchase this film in GOOD faith based on the extended run time. I for one am very disappointed and intend to take this as far as I can to get some answers from Paramount Home Entertainment UK Ltd.

That said, the films themselves are cracking. But in agreement with the post below this is another example of double dipping - just like the farce with the 3 and 4 disc Star Wars sets.
And let's not forget, one man is responsible for both...
I say no more, except I'm making it up as I go and will be in the queue for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!
