Editorial Review: Product Description: Indiana Jones, an archaeologist and adventurer, battles Nazis and travels the globe searching for rare and mystical artifacts. Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating: PG13 Release Date: 2-MAY-2006 Media Type: DVD 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: - ACTION, ADVENTURE & TRAVEL TO FAR AWAY LANDS! ORIGINAL 4 DISC BOX SET REVIEW!I bought the original box set many months ago on sale for a bargain price. Reading all the reviews for the new Indy installment, I wanted to watch the original 3 films again, before eventually seeing the new one. This box set contains the first 3 movies and an extra disc with a fair amount of extra material. The DVD's look and sound great and it has enough features on it to keep me happy until some day buying a "Blue Ray" version. Watching the original "Raiders" was quite fun as I haven't ...
