"Raiders' still delivers the goods over 30 years later

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2012)

Indiana Jones represented the return of the film action hero, a follow up to our original, Star Wars. Raiders is certainly more tangible in its' time period and mission and with every globe- spanning scene and perilous escape grew more legendary. Harrison Ford's coolness and boyish charm carry us past the missing logic of one character being able to challenge a Nazi Army, but that's what legends are made of, right? Karen Allen, as the burned love interest, added grit and and a rooting interest. Spielberg understands this genre's audience best and delivers 100%. Well, Jones, at least you haven't forgotten how to show a lady (or an audience) a good time. "
