One of the most deliriously funny, ingenious and stylish American adventure movies ever made.

ReelViews | James Berardinelli

Has all the right ingredients: a smart script, a likable hero, a dash of romance, more than a touch of comedy, and a lot of fast-paced action.

Variety | Staff (Not Credited)

Spielberg has deftly veiled proceedings in a sense of mystical wonder that makes it all the more easy for viewers to suspend disbelief and settle back for the fun.

Simply Amazing.

"Backstreet's Back! With the new album, The Backstreet Boys have proven why they are still together after 15 years. The new album simply titled Unbreakable. I would simply tell everyone to go out and buy this album, none of the songs will disappoint you."

Perfection , what can you say

"With the exceptions of Empire Strikes Back and The Fugitive This was Harrison Ford's best performance to date . Raiders defined what an action movie should be , even the villians were the best , Nazis of all people to be villians :) And I loved it when we found out that Indiana Jones did indeed have a fear ; that of snakes . Who doesn't ? And one of the most beautiful women of that time or any other , Karen Allen , gods she is like fine wine , improves with age . :) that was a compliment Karen :) This is what a movie should be . fun , romance ,adventure and thrills . Raiders of the Lost Ark is perfection beyond perfection ***** five out of five stars . This is what a movie is suppose to be like . Rkallao@aol.com"

Film Captures the human-wild animal bond no other has

"Pet lovers know the bond that forms with their pet. The filmmaker gained the trust of a San Fransisco bird lover and wild birds to provide a glimps on this emotional bond. Have not seen this captured in a film before."

Great Adventure

"Although this is actually my least fav of the Indiana Jones movies that doesn't mean I don't like it, I like all three of them almost equally, just this one doesn't entertain me as much as the others. Excellent movie nontheless."
