Review:

In the build-up to the new Indy Jones they have been cranking up our love of the Jones boys by putting 
the old films on the telly again. Despite having seen 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' a few many times, I 
decided to watch it again. Hasn't aged much. The special effects still had me startled. Forgot how 
graphically violent the film was, I guess it tapped into the violent era of films that was just going 
mainstream. Can't believe that I watched this as a child. The plot is as preposterous as Blackadder, 
and like Edmund's tales, the plot seems to just serve as a basis to get Indy moving around the world 
doing artsy things. No different than an action film , I guess but somewhat fancied up and brimming 
with strange thingies. Nothwithstanding, I thought it was rollicking good fun, and the tune now has me 
jumping up and down like Pavlov's monkey.
