not the worst of the trilogy and not the best

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2003)

"Raiders of the lost ark" is arguably the movie that in 1981 gave back to the adventure movie its credibility around three points: exoticism, action and effectiveness. This is a movie hurried things along without any idle times and the one that established Harrison Ford's reputation, unforgettable and irreplaceable in Indiana Jones' role. An awesome movie which the influence on the forthcoming adventure movies will be huge.
