Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - Snakes! Why Did It Have to be Snakes?

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2011)

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is one of the many cinematic Spielberg masterpieces in the modern age of movie making. This movie is beyond expectations, beyond thrilling, and it's beyond amazing. Harrison Ford brings the performance of a lifetime as Indiana Jones, an archaeologist with a taste of adventure, thrills, and love. That's probably the whole plot of the entire series. Director Steven Spielberg brings another incredible movie to the world since "Jaws", and teams up with George Lucas, the mastermind behind the incredible "Star Wars" franchise, to bring yet another screen hero. So, this movie brought the incredible works of Spielberg, Lucas, and Ford, to bring a movie that will span from generation to generation. One of my favorite movies of all time, with everything you would expect in a movie. The incredible visual effects blew me away, and it turned to be an amazing accomplishment. The cinematography is gorgeous, the editing is crystal, the characters are priceless, the story is superb, the sound is exceptional, the action is incredible, and my two favorite moments in the film were the beginning sequence involving a giant death ball, and a death-defying pit filled with snakes. But my all-time favorite thing about this movie, is John Williams' incredible music, including the classic Raiders March. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is classic Spielberg entertainment, and you won't be disappointed! "Raiders of the Lost Ark", in my review, "a superb piece of entertainment, provided by the unstoppable Spielberg".
