One of the classic adventure-action movies Hollywood has made in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1998)

The movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has everything a viewer could ask for. From the opening scene, where Indy establishes himself as a go-for-broke adventurer doubling as a mild-mannered university professor, to the climatic scene where the lost Ark's contents are opened for inspection by "unworthies", the movie goes from one big adventure to another. It plays like one of the 15-chapter serials that used to be made, as there are so many cliff-hanging escapes by Indiana Jones and his friends. This film gave birth to two sequels that featured their own escapades, but this should rate as the best. "Raiders" gives a new and exciting meaning to the term "CLASSIC".
