One of the greats. Sometimes I hate to admit liking Spielberg, but this is perhaps the most perfect action/adventure film ever made. I saw it at least three times in the theater, and in my recollection it seems more like 7 or 8. Classic characters, snappy dialogue, and above all, non-stop thrills. It's unbelievable how much stuff happens in under two hours. Barely a second is wasted.

This movie is undoubtedly one of the most awesome action films on celluloid. Sure he single-handedly has skewed the public's mental image of an archaeologist probably forever, but at least he did it by taking the Nazi's down a couple pegs. It's hard to find movies as fun as this one. You get one of the most awesome heroes, team him up with a heroine who can out drink a Nepalese man, add the awesome music of John Williams and you have yourself a god-damned winner.

Possibly the greatest adventure film to date. Indiana Jones is one of America's favorite fictional heroes, and Harrison Ford is at his best as the swash-buckling, whip-cracking archeologist. It defines the action/adventure genre of film, and it's a blast every time you see it. A true classic! Awesome!

Most certainly this is action/adventure movie perfection. Harrison Ford's best role, in my opinion, is that of Indiana Jones, the capable but fallible intelligent adventurer and archeologist. Not a single moment in Raiders of the Lost Ark is dull; from start to finish the film is pure entertainment. It's humorous, it's exciting and it's fun. No other film manages to perfectly mesh all these elements together with such finesse as Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Fantastic movie.

A true classic that instills the sense of awe and wonder with just a touch of whimsy to create the perfect action/adventure movie. Top that off with Harrison Ford who is the absolute perfect fit for the role of Indy. His unique blend of charisma, deadpan skill for comedy, a penchant for trouble and his everyman qualities elevates this film to another level. The first and best in the series.

Outstanding, rip-roaring adventure still feels fresh and contemporary 30+ years later, anchored by Ford's authoritative, iconic performance as a kind of messy, capable but clumsy everyman spin on Bond, and the directorial smarts of Spielberg who keeps things moving at a break-neck speed while stopping just shy of exhausting his audience. Atmospheric photography and vivid location shooting also a definite plus. If the plotting is a little thin at times, it would seem foolish to complain.

They set out to make the ultimate adventure movie and they succeeded. It's got a rousing John Williams theme song, a man getting shredded to death by an airplane propellor, snakes, chases, a bullwhip, Nazi villains, a hilarious, lighthearted touch, a monkey, Karen Allen being fiery and feisty and too goddamn hot for words, and Harrison Ford, the most charismatic and engaging lead of all time. What more does a growing boy need?

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a hilarious, action packed film filled with memorable scenes, especially the guy who shows off with the swords and just ended up getting shot.

The perfect adventure film! Harrison Ford is unforgettable as the intelligent and charming archaeologist who will stop at nothing to protect the ancient relics of the world. It takes cues from classic 1940s westerns and treasure-hunting movies and combines their best traits with electric humor, rowdy excitement and a compelling story. Add a notoriously brilliant soundtrack, flawlessly executed action sequences and a stellar cast? You get this gem. Dr. Jones never lets up and never lets you down.

One of my favourite action-adventure movies. Harrison Ford's character (forget his name) isn't particularly heroic, he's simply very talented and rugged. The sword vs. gun scene sends me into hysterics every time I see it (and apparently it wasn't in the script!). It's just excellent, fast-paced fun for the entire film.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the paramount example of adventure movies.

The Raiders of the Lost Ark is probably my favourite childhood film and I love it still. For complete escapism and adventure this is arguably Steven Spielberg's best film. Harrison Ford is perfect and the supporting cast is strong too. The edge of of your seat action and set pieces are some the finest to ever be put on screen and the timeless score rousingly thumps. The Indiana Jones films never fail to excite me and I can't wait to watch them time and time again with my own children.

Absolutely perfect movie in every pertinent sense. One of the few movies that seems like actual magic, not even cinema. I'm not sure if it was Spielberg's adventurous vision, Lucas's story ideas (in his infinitely better days), Williams's riveting score, Ford's best performance, or even Kasdan's script. Without doubt, and I am always sure of it, the truck chase toward the end is the best action sequence in film history. This film should be mandatory viewing!

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a large-scale, big-budget cheesefest. It has snakes, spiders, ancient tombs and mysterious arks. It even has evil, exploding Nazis. If it had been made in 2010 by Michael Bay with better FX and Shia LaBeouf as Jones, it would have been appreciated for the trashy guilty pleasure that it is. It's a ridiculous, unnecessarily bloody, hilariously over-the-top camp adventure. Is it the best of its kind? Yes, it is. Is it entertaining as hell? For the most part, yes, it is.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a very enjoyable movie. It has plenty of action, adventure and comedy, set to a brisk pace and with enough interesting characters to keep us engaged. It brings us a villain we can easily rally against, a MacGuffin that everyone will go to the ends of the for, and enough creative action scenes to make you say "wow," a couple of times every half hour. You owe it to yourself to see this movie so that you can have a very fun two hours of escapism.

(2nd viewing) At first (opening scene aside), the film/its humour are tedious and silly (truck exploding for no apparent reason, getting hit over the head with a frying pan,...), John Williams seems to recycle bits from Star Wars, and watching an archaeologist stick it to the bad guy left me oddly indifferent. A shame you have to await the 50 minute mark for the story and characters to become really absorbing. A lot of fun as a whole, doesn't hold a candle to the original Star Wars though.

Best of the series. Love Karen Allen, the only really strong women in the entire series of films

This movie makes very little sense in terms of plot; has very flat characterization; contains a 1930s level of fucked-up-ness about race, nationality, gender, animal welfare, and how okay it is to kill people if they're in your way; and ends with a literal deus ex machina - but is also *incredibly* good at creating a sense of sheer giddy fun. Modern filmmakers could learn a lot from this about making adventure movies compelling - and about what happens if you don't critique what you homage.

Probably the best Raiders flick ever. OK maybe tied with *Crystal Skul.* Fast paced action, great locations, humor, a hero to cry for. I could watch it a million times.

You have got to love Indiana Jones films don't you? Perfectly involving, cheeky, action packed, and so damn exciting. It would be hard to think of a set of films that better capture the excitement of a round the world treasure hunt against Nazis! This must be the most emulated format for a film in history, but nothing has come anywhere close to this masterpiece. I mean if Lara Croft saw this film, she would be hit by a massive and instant existential crisis. She'd need years of therapy.

Albeit, a campy film with fantastic one-liners, Raiders is a fantastic adventure film.

The original Indianna Jones film, and arguably the best of the series, this film is full of mystery and action, and Ford creates one of the most memorable characters of our time.

Could only be more entertaining if it came packaged with rubber tubing and needles. What else needs to be said?

The more action films I watch, the more I appreciate the absolutely masterful structure of Raiders. Pure and simple: You can't find a more genuine and exhilarating action-adventure in the world of cinema.
