A Fun, Family Adventure

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2002)

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a fantastic classic movie! All of the credit for its success and fun goes to George Lucas (Star Wars) and Steven Spielberg (A.I. Artificial Intellegence). The cast is what kicked some ass. That included Harrison Ford, Karen Allen (Starman), Paul Freeman (Power Rangers:The Movie), John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings).
If you look hard enough, you will find out that Raiders is really sort of a sequel. I say this because if you notice, The Temple of Doom took place in 1935, and Raiders took place in 1936. So the Temple of Doom is actually a prequel.
There is so much to say, but I have so little room to explain. Basically, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is going after the Ark of the Covenet before the Nazis get to it. At the same time, he has competition, which is Belleq (Paul Freeman). A rich, sleazy archeologist who steals from Jones whenever he gets the chance. Jones' love interest is Marion (Karen Allen) who tags along with him.
This is definitley a movie for all ages and I recommend it to every family who reads this review.
Look for a cameo by Steven Spielberg at the docks near the end of the movie.
