Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2005)

Raiders of the Lost Ark is as silly as a Saturday morning cartoon and as corny and historically inaccurate as a children's history book. But is one the greatest action/adventure movies ever made.
The reasons because of that is because of the perfect blend of action, comedy, and drama. Also because the character of Indiana Jones is likable and believable. Don't dismiss this film as a silly children's romp. For someone who is more into art house films and serious films, Raiders is an edge of your seat thrill ride that won't fail to entertain. The story of the Nazi's wanting to get the lost ark is silly but it works anyway, because it gives a reason to root for Jones, for him to succeed, and to give us breathtaking, flawless entertainment.
If you love movies, don't miss Raiders of the Lost Ark. It exciting, funny, and brilliant. It deserves to be in the AFI's top 100 American films of all time. Don't miss this great ride.
P.S. Don't forget the popcorn.
