Raiders of the Lost Ark

IMDB
Metacritic

The Verdict
Aside from some cheesy magic, the same love melody from the star wars movies when Harrison Ford is around a female, and the out of date special effects this movie is fantastic. Of course this is not the first time I have seen this movie, but before I go to see the new movie, I thought I would re-watch the older ones.

If you don't know the story, Harrison Ford plays this bad ass archaeologist who goes on all sorts of adventures looking for different biblical/magical items also wanted by bad guys. He is equipped with a whip, a gun, a sweet hat, and years of tomb raiding experience. In this movie he is after the Lost Ark that contain the original 10 commandments that have "special powers".

I think the movie was a perfect length, it was quite an adventure, and it has a great ending. There is nothing particularly wrong with this movie, and it is truly time less.
