Classic action for all generations ...

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2001)

This is pure moviemaking the way it should be - classic action yarn without an overabundance of glib special effects and whiz-bang eyecandy. Every action sequence serves the story well. It speaks to all the adventerous little boys in us (and girls, too).
The only thing that kept me from giving this one a 10 is the silly supernatural ghosts and goblins hiding in the Arc. Hey, I'm not complaining about watching the Nazis getting their faces melted and heads exploded and sucked to hell, but I'm just not a big fan of silly spirits - it was typical over-contrived Spielberg-ishness at work again.

9/10
