The Greatest Adventre Film Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2007)

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was one of the first films I saw as a young child, and it was then and still remains one of my favorite films of all time. Harrison Ford basically defines cool in his role as Indiana Jones. The supporting cast is also perfect at doing the jobs necessary to make the film great. There are funny moments, horrific moments, and moments of pure excitement as Indiana goes on his wild adventures. There's a sadistic villain with a fitting trademark, double-crossers, and of course Indie's brave allies. The action is immense, the effects are gorgeous, and the film ages very well. This is a stupendous film, the likes of which will never again be repeated. The plot is of course somewhat far-fetched, but it is presented in an interesting and realistic fashion, forcing us to buy into it. I'd recommend this film to kids "from 1 to 92."
