Even better than Raiders of the Lost Ark

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2012)

This is it people: the best adventure film ever made. The film combines all the good qualities of the Indiana Jones films with greater dramatic deepness, a vastly superior soundtrack, composed by Joe Hisaishi, for me the best film composer ever and a more complex story than the simplistic stories of the Indy films (though, by no means, it is a very complex film).
While the main characters are 12-year old kids, one could argued that this film is indeed more adult than the Indy films, as it is handled on a more serious tone and has also a serious underlying message, though not as remotely as serious as Nausicaa.
The film also has a massive amount of "cool stuff", such as the technological marvels shown and the incredible quality of the action sequences.
