This will always be my favorite Spielberg movie, and this will always be the best Indy film. “Raiders of The Lost Ark” is such a classic and it’s another film, I can watch over and over. I like all 4 Indy movies (yes, even “Crystal Skull”), but this one “Raiders”, will always stand out. It’s not only a great adventure story with good plot and good acting, it’s also a great action movie. I know Steven Spielberg is not the best at making action movies, but he did the best job with the action sequences in “Raiders”. Every action scene in this movie was pretty intense, and they can get so exciting that you want even more from, Indy.
Belloq is one of those villains that you want to hate and the actor who played him does a phenomenal job. There are so many emotions with, “Raiders”. It can get exciting, fun, scary, and there are some sad scenes as well. Yes, there a few scary scenes in “Raiders”, that almost felt like a horror film, especially the controversial Ark Ceremony toward the end of the movie. While I do like all 4 Indy films, I do admit that the Indy franchise kind of went downhill after this. They will never make an amazing Indy film like this ever again. I do think, “Temple of Doom” is almost just as good as “Raiders”.
