The Adventures of Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark/The Temple of Doom/The Last Crusade) - Widescreen Customer Reviews (115 - 117 of 140 Reviews)

One of the greatest film trilogies of all time
Steven Spielberg directed all three films in the Indiana Jones trilogy and he had help from George Lucas in making these comic-like fast paced action films primed for mainstream success. Taking place between the 1930's and 40's, all three films feature professor and adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford in the role he was born to play; hard to believe Tom Selleck was originally considered for the role) on various death defying adventures all over the world. The first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, features Jones attempting to stop the Nazis from getting the Lost Ark of the Covenent. This film is probably the most exciting of the three, with some cleverly imaginitive special effects and all around spookiness. The second film, Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom, is a prequel which finds Jones and two comrades (a young Asian boy and Kate Capshaw who is Mrs. Steven Spielberg) fighting against a cult who is enslaving Indian children. This film wasn't too well received because of it's surprising violence, but it is my favorite of the trilogy and is loaded with suspense. The third film, Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade, finds Jones trying to save his father (Sean Connery) from a Nazi regime who are hellbent on finding the Holy Grail. This installment is the most comic like of the three, and Ford and Connery are great together. This much hyped about DVD set is definitely worth owning, but the DVD extras are extremely lacking (then again, this is Paramount after all). A fourth film is rumored to be in the works, but until that ever sees the light of day, you should definitely pick up this set.

A great DVD Set to a set of sensational movies!
This DVD set contains the adventures of the unforgettable adventurer Indiana Jones ( Harrison Ford) and made Ford into a household name. The first adventure called "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a true masterpiece of the adventure genre, it's where Indiana Jones goes looking for a powerful relic called " The Ark of Convent" where he must head to Egypt before the nazis do. A highly entertaining, wonderful and original adventure that inspired two sequels and a slew of wannabes, Stephen Spielburg and George Lucas collabrated together to create the ultimate adventure movie of a lifetime. Then " Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" which is his darkest adventure yet, it's set before the events of "Raiders" which Indiana Jones has a sidekick named " Short Round" and a singer named "Willie" ( Kate Capshaw) to help him from Shanghai to India where he must rescue an Indian village's children and five magic stones from a evil thugee cult. Considered to be the weakest of the trilogy but it's still very good, the stunts are quite good with the special effects and noteworthy for it's violence like the heart scene which made the MPAA make the PG-13 rating. Then last but not least, :"Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade" which is set after "Raiders", Indy and his father Henry Jones sr. ( Sean Connery) on a quest to find the holy grail in the middle east from the nazis. Easily the most entertaining in the series, loaded with non-stop action and some scary stuff that might frighten children.
These movies are classics of the 80's that have been ripped off but never equaled thanks to the help of Stephen Spielburg and George Lucas creating such three excellent action movies that no one will ever forget. Now they are finally on DVD!!! I must say the DVDs are excellent with picture, sound and THX remastering. The extras Disc is great with documentary on how the movies were made including four great featurettes and the original teasers with trailers on all three movies.
So if your into action, adventure, fantasy then you must buy this set and be happy with it! coming in 2005 is Indiana Jones 5.

Been a long wait.
It's been a long wait, but finally it is here. Indian Jones on DVD.
3 great movies plus an extra DVD with behind the scenes stuff from all 3 movies.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is probably the best story of the three and is one incredible movie. They even fixed the scene where Indiana falls in front a snake, but you can see it's reflection in the window that seperated Harrison Ford from the snakes (VHS version). You can't see it now.
The Temple of Doom was a very good movie though not as good as Raiders. It was funnier than Raiders, but something about the story just didn't captivate me like Raiders.
The Last Crusade is my personal favorite. It is probably the funniest of the 3. After changing lanes in story for Temple of Doom, they returned to the religious roots of Raiders with an exceptional story packed with action.
And the behind the scenes stuff on the extra DVD is excellent. There is plenty of content here with new information that you probably haven't heard before. This is a must buy for all Indian Jones fans. You won't be dissappointed.
