We all know the 'Indy" movies, so this review is more astetic based than a storyline critique.
"Raiders" will always be the best, and offered here in a single movie purchase rather than the three disc set.
Sound is better than good, picture is great on this anamorphic widescreen [2:35:1] DVD.
It far exceeds the VHS version I previously owned.
Movie transfers done right are always a worthy purchase.
Also highly recommended to anyone with an upconvert player and a 40" or smaller LCD TV.

I took my young grandsons to see Indiana Jones and the Chrystal Skull. This is a whole
new character for the 10 year old set. They enjoyed it
so much, that I bought the previous movies for whole family to enjoy. I think this movie
is one of the best. Non stop action, villains and heroes. I thought of my own childhood and
the saturday afternoon serials at the neighborhood movie theater.

Full of all of the essential action and adventure elements, this movie is an icon in the genre. I won't go into the plot or lend my opinion on every detail, but I do want to mention one thing: Parents, beware the PG rating! It is my understanding that when this movie was first released in 1981, a PG-13 rating did not yet exist. Therefore, since the material in this movie doesn't rate an R-rating, the logical assignment was PG. Obviously, once a movie is rated, it is rated for life, because this movie in NO WAY falls into the current PG rating category. While there is little language, some of it warrants today's PG-13 rating, but the biggest issue would be the violence and gore in this film. Jump scenes abound as well as a great deal of peril and recklessness. Parents, this movie simply does not fall into the "safety" of a PG film (think: "Ice Age"). Great movie, just be forewarned that your younger ones WILL be frightened by a number of scenes.

Professor Jones is not your ordinary archaeologist - he's more of a cross between an adventurer and a grave-robber. And, if there is one thing that Indiana Jones is sure to find, it is adventure. But when he learns that a Nazi-German archaeology dig is hoping to find the ancient Ark of the Covenant, he sets off to get their first. It's a story filled with action, adventure, thrills, and chills!
This movie came out in 1981, and it is still king of its genre! The special effects are great and the action is great, keeping you on the edge of your seat. It's got snakes, Nazis, submarines, explosions, gunfire, and even a little bit of romance - who could ask for anything more?
Yep, I just recently introduced my son to the joy of watching Indiana Jones, and he liked the movie as much as I did. (It is too scary for younger viewers, so you might want to be careful with your younger children.) Yep, it's a great movie, one that is sure to be considered a classic for many years to come. My son and I both give this movie our highest recommendations!

So much has been said about this film and I suppose that my two cents' worth won't really amount to much, but I just had to drop a line about one of my favorite films. With the release of "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", I recently revisted my DVD copy of this classic film (along with "Temple of Doom" and "Last Crusade").
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" (the actual title before they stuck the "Indiana Jones and the" prefix onto it) was released in a "golden age" of sorts of movie making. George Lucas, the mastermind behind the revolutionary "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back" films and fellow movie maker Steven Spielberg, the man responsible for "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", had both established themselves in the annals of film making history with their immensely popular movies. When word spread that these two titans of the industry were teaming up to create a film together, Hollywood was all abuzz and expectations were high. Needless to say, they delivered in a big way.
In a time when movies were making a comeback (Spielberg and Lucas were both responsible in creating the "summer blockbuster" - prior to the late '70s, summertime was considered the slow season), the two directors decided to hearken back to the days of movie serials, sometimes called chapter plays, and created a tale of high adventure.
This movie was so unlike anything that had been done before. The special effects were "old school" (long before CGI) and gave a gritty realism to the whole look and feel of the film. The action was second to none, the story pulled you in, and the film helped further the career of the now-legendary Harrison Ford.
I will not compare this to "Crystal Skull", but suffice it to say that this film never grows tiresome. It is forever ingrained in American culture (Indy's brown fedora and bullwhip are icons in and of themselves and forever attached to the character).
If you've never seen it (either because you are too young or been living under a rock), please do yourself a favor and watch this film. You will thoroughly enjoy it.
