While it's not a bad action / adventure movie, I just don't get why a lot of people think this is one of best movies of this genres! For me it is a mediocre action flick!

Are we supposed to ignore the fact that Indiana Jones was 25/26 when he had an affair with Marion when she was 15/16? And she had a falling out with her dad afterwards? She even says that in movie during her introduction scene in Nepal "I was a child, I was in love. It was wrong and you knew it" And Jones doesn't even admit that he was WRONG for doing that. "I never meant to hurt you" and "YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING" SERIOUSLY?! (After a little research, I actually found out there was a transcript between Lucas and Spielberg where they wanted her to be 12 and Jones 25. They changed her age to 15 later. Wow, so this was VERY intentional.) Indiana Jones is a creep, nothing more than that. I don't care if this movie is the best adventure, treasure hunter movie or whatever. He is a pedo and nothing is gonna fix that. You don't believe me? I recommend reading this: https://www.polygon.com/2015/8/3/9089181/indiana-jones-abusive-creep

Over 30 years since its release, this is still the high watermark of the series and, indeed pretty much any adventure film. Ford is the lynchpin of the series, and unlike James Bond, it is difficult to imagine anyone else taking on this role in the future. What makes Indiana Jones works so well as a More

[8.3/10] Nostalgia is a trap. So is “they don’t make things like they used to.” If you read *The Tale of Genji*, a novel written a thousand years ago, you’ll find that the characters there lament the decline of the next generation and wax poetic about the good old days. It’s easy to look a More

This is trailblazing stuff - a great action film in the vein of earlier Technicolor swashbucklers. Harrison Ford is engaging and hugely charismatic and his battles with Karen Allen and Paul Freeman make for a considered, slightly dark but funny and memorable piece of cinema. So many great films have More

**Trailblazers of a Lost Art**

Little wonder James Cameron and Joss Whelon movies are the biggest box-office earners. They are masters of cinematic rhetoric. The unfolding dramatic situations and controlled dialogue are meticulously contrived. Cameron could probably have potted more if it wasn't More
