A little dull
I really wanted to like this and I had hoped it was going to be similar to Spotlight, but sadly it was a bit of a let down.

It has a stellar cast and you can never fault Tom Hanks especially. I've never really been a big fan of Meryl Streep which may contribute to part of the reason why I didn't like this very much. But aside from her, this has got a fantastic cast. It's just a shame that the story itself just came across as very dull. I really wanted to be interested in it but I struggled because the entire film dragged so much. I have no doubt it's an interesting story, it just doesn't come across very entertaining in the film. I was so surprised that this is a Steven Spielberg film as it doesn't come across like it.

Action Serials in the 1980s? Yes Please
Released in the summer of 1981 and the idea of George Lucas after American Graffiti and the film he'd pursue with Steven Spielberg after the hit known as Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark is a film that plays upon the cliches and tricks of the classic action serials of the 40s and 50s that both men grew up on. Starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, John Rhys Davies, Paul Freeman and became the highest grossing film of 1981. Lucas and Spielberg also wanted this to be shit quick and really dirty like the action serials of the past. What we get is an adventure that has not only been regarded as one of the best action films ever made, but for some, one of the greatest movies ever made. And it truly is a tour de force. Visuals amazing. Acting is great
