Raiders of the Lost Ark

"An out-of-body experience, a movie of glorious imagination and breakneck speed that grabs you in the first shot, hurtles you through a series of incredible adventures, and deposits you back in reality two hours later (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"One of the most deliriously funny, ingenious, and stylish American adventure movies ever made. It is an homage to old-time movie serials" 

"A solid achievement for everyone concerned (...) Technical credits (...) are never less than first-rate" 

"The ceaseless rush quickly becomes monotonous" 

"The images have an unreal clarity (...) Kinesthetically, the film gets to you. It gets your heart thumping." 

"An exhilarating escapist entertainment (...) The film is among the best-crafted ventures of its kind" 

"'Raiders of the Lost Ark' has more size than substance but nevertheless it’s a delightfully special, big surprise package of a movie that should turn Indiana Jones into a national figure."
