Greatest Adventure Flick Ever!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2009)

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is truly one of the greatest adventure flicks ever, if not of all time. George Lucas takes a shot at writing a story that doesn't involve spaceships and the "Force" and what we get is a very good story. Well written characters and an interesting story that doesn't over do it, yes!! It keeps our interest and offers a unique setting that the fits the film well. Every actor has a role they were born to play and for Harrison Ford this is defiantly it. The pacing is excellent and the comedic elements are well portioned. The score by John Williams is unforgettable and like any score by the composer the theme for Indy is unmistakable to this day. This film is no less than a classic and one of Spielberg's best works no doubt. The sequels were no less incredible. Sigh, till "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" came along...damn!!
