Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
baslanters This movie has everything: action, a good cast, humor, a wonderful soundtrack (John Williams) a good pace and a good script. I watch this movie like 2 or 3 times a year and it still fascinates me. Thank you for this masterpiece mr. Spielberg! They don't make movies like this anymore!
jmillerjr-00983 This movie is just about perfect in every way. Simple, but true.
mrossman-19565 What a movie. It is unbelievable to me that this was done in 1981. It is just excellent. Very advanced effects for the time too.
Torrin-McFinn77 I remember watching this film in 1996 as part of a school project. We get an adventurer, his mission to find a biblical artifact, and the Third Reich at his heels. It's basically a throwback to the 1920s and 1930s adventure serials that told the sagas of service members battling German soldiers around the world. And that's what you get here. Harrison Ford was great for the role, and now that I'm older I like this film role of his better than Han Solo and all the others. I also like Indiana Jones better than I like James Bond. The women aren't too cliched as damsels in distress and Karen Allen does justice in this film as the streetwise love interest of the main hero. And those locations; what a way to go! From South America to an island in the Mediterranean. After watching my dad's VHS tapes, I became a fan. This is my second-favorite Indy film (after Last Crusade).
