Great throwback movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 1999)

Even if, like me, you're not a connoisseur of old adventure movies or serials (I've seen a few, but not a lot), you can enjoy this movie. Spielberg and Lucas, as one critic said, are not here making a demographic movie(which today's so-called blockbuster movies are), but a movie based on what they themselves wanted to see, and the result is pure entertainment from start to finish. It's inconceivable that anyone other than Harrison Ford could have played this part, and Karen Allen measures up quite nicely as Marion, being much tougher than you might expect from this type of movie. A classic!
