One of the best trilogy and character in cinema history.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2007)

Indiana Jones is, I think, one of the best characters in cinema history. A whip-cracking adventurer, he searches for missing treasures while fighting evil. In this film, Indy is hired by the U.S. Government to find the Ark of the Covenant. It is believed that it holds the ten commandments, and he and his ex-flame Marion must also fend off Hitler agents from getting their hands on it. What results is a movie with pure adventure and entertainment; a brilliant cast, great direction, rousing music score (John Williams' Indiana Jones themes is probably one of the most recognizable and memorable in movie history) and beautiful place settings, from the villages of Egypt to the Arc of the Covenant. It's a great film, but I personally enjoyed Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade more. I just think the stories and action to those two films were more spirited and compelling.
Just a funny note, as Indiana Jones being of the most memorable fictional characters, I actually parodied him in a college skit. It was fun; our skit was voted the best in the class.
