Bows Down To The Genius Called Spielberg

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2009)

The first movie of the Indiana Jones series is also the best of the lot. The movie which starts in South America (1936) travels half of the world to Nepal and ends in Egypt.The movie is all about gaining a certain Ark of the Covenant which allows direct communication with the Gods. Indy is assigned the job of finding this Ark and his rivals in this movie are the Germans(Nazis to be precise). The movie is an absolute entertainer and there is not a damn dull moment in it Spielberg has maintained a great balance of comedy and thrills with a background of sometimes weird and sometimes exemplorary romance . Every single frame in the movie has a certain "Spielberg Touch", which is the hallmark of the great director. The next movies of the series were good but did not manage to create an impact as huge as this one. A must watch for sure, I recommend it wholeheartedly to all cinema lovers
Rating :8.5/10
