Editorial Review: Description: Set Includes: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Peacock's Eye Amazon.com: As with Star Wars, the George Lucas-produced Indiana Jones trilogy was not just a plaything for kids but an act of nostalgic affection toward a lost phenomenon: the cliffhanging movie serials of the past. Episodic in structure and with fate hanging in the balance about every 10 minutes, the Jones features tapped into Lucas's extremely profitable Star Wars formula of modernizing the look and feel of an old, but popular, story model. Steven Spielberg directed all three films, which are set in the late 1930s and early '40s: the comic book-like Raiders of the Lost Ark, the spooky, Gunga Din-inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the cautious but entertaining Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Fans and critics disagree over the order of preference, some even finding the middle movie nearly repugnant in its violence. (Pro-Temple of Doom people, on the other hand, believe that film to be the most disarmingly creative and emotionally effective of the trio.) One thing's for sure: Harrison Ford's swaggering, two-fisted, self-effacing performance worked like a charm, and the art of cracking bullwhips was probably never quite the iconic activity it soon became after Raiders. Supporting players and costars were very much a part of the series, too--Karen Allen, Sean Connery (as Indy's dad), Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan, Amrish Puri, Denholm Elliot, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies among them. Years have passed since the last film (another is supposedly in the works), but emerging film buffs can have the same fun their predecessors did picking out numerous references to Hollywood classics and B-movies of the past. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Amazing Adventure StoriesAfter a long wait, this box set finally came out on DVD in October of 2003 and it looks great! Now, the next step will be to see these fun movies on Blu-Ray! All three Indiana Jones stories were entertaining but the first one - Raiders Of The lost Ark - was still the best. Over 25 years later, it still has some very memorable scenes, like the opening one with the gigantic boulder chasing Harrison Ford to the ending scene with the Ark of the Convenant opened. Years from ... Read More Rating: - Classic Films, But Slightly Disappointing Extras.I'll try to make this short, as this site doesn't allow more than 300 words on the reviews. INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK This film is the classic and quintessential "Indiana Jones" film. Great storyline, top-notch acting, rousing music (especially the famous "Raiders March"), hair-raising action sequences and superb directing. Rated PG for action violence and mild language. INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM The second ...

It is very entertaining--a great way to spend a Sunday. Rating: - Bring the Adventure HomeLucasfilm took their sweet time putting out the original Indiana Jones trilogy on DVD. In fact, it wasn't until the Indy 4 rumors stopped looking so much as rumors and started to become a reality that the company released the Indiana Jones films for the first time on DVD in this rustic-looking box set. With the advent of INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, the movies have since been re-released on DVD (and slightly altered as well). Many people won't mind those changes, but I enjoy ... Read More Rating: - Pulp Adventure at Its BestIn 1981, Steven Spielberg (Jaws) and George Lucas (Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope ) reinvented the pulp adventure genre that they had fallen in love with during their youth. Their film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, was the perfect tribute to Saturday matinee serials and boys' adventure magazines. Not only did Spielberg and Lucas create the greatest action film in decades (and perhaps in the history of American movies), but they also introduced movie audiences to the greatest adventure hero since the ...
