Indiana Jones Review - Genius Filming

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2009)

I have seen the introduction to this film what feels like 100 times but it still amazes me and keeps me interested, not revealing Indiana Jones keeps the audience hooked waiting for the mysterious person to be identified and when he is no one is disappointed. The journey through the cave to get the treasure at the end shows Indiana's character and in moments the audience seems to know him and trust him as the hero. The journey through the cave is kept so calm and eerie that the audience is kept on the edges of there seats waiting for the action to begin, as is typically expected of a Spielberg film, and it doesn't disappoint, in a few seconds Indiana is dodging darts, nearly falling down deep pits and running away from a large boulder. By the time Indiana is leaving in the plane everyone knows his character down to his dislike of snakes, and they know action is on the way in this film which it is. Spielberg movies often are full of action and the dramatic which this movie is filled with the most classic being the beginning scene, this is pretty much the beginning of this and it's success shows as nearly everyone in the movie world knows about Indiana Jones.
