This is what movies are all about.

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 1999)

An almost unbroken string of spectacles, wonders, stunts, fights, escapes and the rest of it. You can't help but cheer.
First let me say, I never really liked "Raiders of the Lost Ark" What is the body count in that movie? It's one long corpse generating, gore splattering, branding and bone crunching series of scenes in which Indy tosses bodies off cliffs, trucks, into propellers, flames, etc. etc. ending with the wrath of God impaling the Third Reich. Call this entertainment?
This film is worlds better on all counts. Sides shift, everybody gets a chance to kick ass, heroes triumph, are defeated, but in the end, by the skin of their teeth, they defeat the baddy.
If you want "My Dinner With Andre" (also out on DVD?) go see a stage play. If you want to see what a movie can do, go see this film!
