Snakes, why did it have to be snakes...

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2000)

This is the first of the popular series. A great film but I feel it is the weakest of the trilogy. The action is great but not as good as the prequel's and sequel's action. Steven Spielberg received his second Academy Award nomination for Best Directing, for good reason, he does a phenomenal job. The story is pretty good, incorporating action and a little bit of comedy and drama. Harrison Ford does a good job at acting, as always. The music is terrific, introducing the famous Indiana Jones theme. The special effects are good, especially for this area. All and all a pretty good film.
