Nothing quite like it.

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 1999)

Raiders is a shining example of what a big American blockbuster should be like, it is so rare to see such intense action combined with a fantastic story full of wonderful characters. Some say the female lead is just there to be ogled, they are completely wrong, Karen Allen adds a touching brilliance to the character of Marion, and anyone who disagrees should look closer, (i'm a regular male and I found myself more interested in her depth of character than her looks). Raiders doesn't try to be offensive nor does it achieve it, seeing the odd soldier getting pounded is trite now, personally I quite enjoy seeing Nazi's get the thrashing they so deserved. Raiders of the lost ark is a work of brilliance, I grew up with Indy movies, and even now they make me want to move to America and take up Archaeology. Thank you George and Steven.
