Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

What can I say?
A timeless classic, a great adventure film, a joy for all of cinema. Harrison Ford just owns this iconic role.
5/5

Temple of Doom (1984)

It is still a great film. Yes, it is unintentionally racist
(showing all Indians as part of a dangerous cult, unless under submission of the British army) but that wasn't the point.
Probably the best musical opening to a non-musical film making a classic song even more enjoyable by making the lyrics in Chinese and having tap-dancers.
Harrison Ford is still on top form and same with his kid-sidekick.
Kate Capshaw on the other hand...
4/5

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Ahhh, this is a joy to watch. It is completely and utterly brilliant.
Probably my personal favourite of them all.
Everyone is having a ball (although, apparently not Harrison Ford and Sean Connery clashing on set) and the set pieces are beyond fantasitc.
Seeing the behind the scenes footage of Speilberg getting all of the Nazi's to cross thier fingers behind the back is brilliant!
5/5

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

This is by far the stupidest movie for people to hate. It's obvious that nostalgia is preventing people from enjoying this, conjuring up excuses to make the film lesser to the others (nuking the fridge? PULease!). It's not like the other films were less believeable!
I had so much fun with this. The 50's setting is to die for and even Shia LabOOF is good in it.
4.5/5



Overall the best adventure series ever.
This is fun, exciting, and the one of the reasons cinema exists.

8/10
Great movie, it has such a chilling atmosphere. Shannon delivers a performance that stands out more than any other last year, and its hard to take your eye's off of Chastain's incredible screen presence. The movie is a little slow at times, but leads up to such an emotional last 20 minutes that you are simply left speechless by the time its over. The last scene of the movie is perfect, the expression on Chastain's face paired with the music gave me chills.

Rating: 6.3/10
Personal Interest's Rate: 7.3/10

Burton's worst film is still above mediocre. Had a good story but lacked in some details. There are times you see some surprising glance of development in the characters but then it fades in the middle.

MV... this movie is just atrocious... I can't give it more than a 5 at best... lol

Personally, I do.

Anything in the range of 5-6 would be close to fair imo. I gave more to Personal Interest's Rate because there were some Burton elements in it and HBC was also in there so.

And btw welcome back from your short absence.

thanks mv but unfortunately I totally disagree on Burton's... POTA.

Anyway...



7.5/10

Surprising film. Daniel proves that he can do much more as leading. I loved the way he carried his character. He avoided pretty much every cliche in the book for this type of film. Great directorial effort as well. Impeccable delivery of suspense and tension. A pleasant surprise missed by many people.

Any full-on jumps, or is it mostly creepy/eerie?

First act has a couple of jumps but executed great imo. The second and third act are creepy as hell. Reminded me of The Orphanage in a way.
