The Smell Of Cheese.

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2003)

Abraham Lincoln apparently once said of something "People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like".A lot of people must like Raiders then,for it to achieve #16 in the Top 250 movies.I watched it for the first time tonight and my honest opinion was...it STUNK! Nothing made any sense,the script was rubbish and the "acting" was terrible. Indy has a clue where the Ark is hidden so he gathers a team of men and gets it out without the Germans noticing what he is doing? At every oppurtunity the Germans have to simply kill him,they tell him their plans[James Bond style]and tie him up?Having got the Ark [and tied Indy up instead of killing him!] the ark kills the Germans but spares Indy!I KNOW its only a fantasy but people generally seem to regard it as a really great film-perhaps that says more about them?
