Brilliant film making from a cinematic genius

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2008)

Spielberg has hit some highs in his career but i feel Raiders sums up his film making talents best.Its a rollicking adventure that has been imitated but never equalled.Im sceptical as to whether The Crystal Skull will live up to the hype but one things for sure, Raiders will endure for years to come as a classic of modern American cinema.A work colleague of mine recently put it to me that he felt it was a dated, badly edited film,my jaw dropped,was he looking at the same film as me?Such is my love for Raiders,i had to reconsider our friendship for a brief moment before agreeing to disagree.Raiders just leaps off the screen, Harrison Ford is a legend and delivers a great film performance as Indy.An all time great. 10/10 only because i cant give it 11.
