I was underwhelmed

Rating: 2/10 (5 April 2012)

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas had the idea to recreate the Saturday morning serials of the 1940s with Raiders. Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, a globe trotting adventurer looking for the Ark of the Covenant which would give Hitler the power to conquer world. Mr Ford always appears to be sleepwalking through his roles; somebody please wake him up. Robert Mitchum had a similar style, except Bob had charisma which is missing in Harrison.
Indiana battles Nazis, fights off snakes, makes several great escapes and moves around enough to be awarded frequent flyer miles. Back and forth we go with the Ark, to the point where I did not care at all.
One chapter was quite enough for me; I have no desire to suffer through the many sequels that followed.
