without question one of the all time great movies---fun story, terrific dialogue, plenty of comic relief and outstanding action scenes---the is the granddaddy of all LOTR films
Indiana Jones Is My Favorite Film Character.
It was exciting...but the violence was a little flat and pathetic. But wonderful job!
this is a great spielberg effort. A whiote knuckle film. ford is perfectly cast as the hero here. suspense and a comic tone to boot. Don't miss this! great ending.
All of them are great. He's was born for this role. Love how they brought her back 20 plus yrs later...that's unreal.

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. Full Review

An adventure film that plays like an old-time 12-part serial that you see all at once, instead of Saturday-to-Saturday. It's a modern "Thief of Baghdad." It's the kind of movie that first got you excited about movies when you were a kid. (Translation for today's children: It's better than anything on TV.) [12 June 1981] Full Review

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. Full Review
