 Great fun collection October 14, 2008
15 out of 21 found this review helpful
We could all day compare the last movie to the Temple of Doom and so on. It is not about that really. This collection is about grabbing some popcorn and sitting on the couch all day with your family and everyone having a great time. Unless you have been living under a rock you know what this movie franchise is all about.
This collection is the same one that was for sale prior to the release of the last movie The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. (stars are my opinion)
It contains;
Raiders *****
Temple of Doom *
The Last Crusade *****
(new)The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. ****
Also included are some documentaries that were filmed during the making of the films. Making of documentaries make this a must have for the Indy collector.
The Indiana Jones franchise may be getting long in the tooth but I think that this collection is a great pack of movies to have.
Thank you for reading my little review of this pack.

Don't get me wrong - there's nothing wrong with this boxed set.
The issue is that there will be a new, more exhaustive and comprehensive box coming in the next six months. It's coming. Don't be fooled!
If you must have the new movie now, then just buy the one disc. Wait for the new collection later.
That being said - the transfers and quality of the DVD's within are good. The special features are fine. It's complete now with all 4 films, which is nice. But I'm all for having one copy of every movie that I love, and not duplicate my collection by buying something which is bound to be obsolete shortly.
The greatest movie saga of all time October 10, 2008

This set contains the four cinematic adventures of Indiana Jones. Raiders is a classic piece of cinema. A brilliantly directed action adventure film paying homage to adventure serials of the 30s. Temple of Doom pays similar homage, but takes Indy into horror and fantasy territory. Doom is extremely polished and lavish, personally I love it equally with Raiders. Last Crusade brings back the popular elements of Raiders, along with Sean Connery as his father. There is some brilliant dialogue in this film and banter between them. It's probably the most family oriented of the original three. Then we have Crystal Skull, the new instalment. Personally I enjoyed it and think it is a worthy entry into the sage of Indiana Jones. There are some over the top moments, but like Temple of Doom before it, the film really pushes the fantasy elements of the action scenes. Marion Ravenwood is back and well, I won't spoil it. It's great to see Indy back after 20 years. Buy this set, you will watch all the films over and over again!
Still has the magic October 3, 2008

This movie was awesome! He still has the touch to make action and comedy blend together. Sure, he's alot older now than when he did the last crusade, but that's the beauty of it. I think he's in great shape for his age and did alot of his own stunts in it. Shia, I could do without. I think he's a bit overblown. Lucas/Spielberg/Ford are talking about doing another one but even they admit they would have to hurry because Ford is getting any younger to do these sort of things. I love the way it ends. Lucas has already said Shia will NOT replace Ford. And the end proves it if you pay attention to it. It's masterfull the way they let the fans know there is and always will be one Indy!!
They're all good October 14, 2008

All the Indy films are at once different and the same. I think the people that put down "Temple of Doom" just missed the point because they are also the same people that complain "Last Crusade" and "Crystal Skull" are too much repeating the pattern of "Raiders." Well, the second film actually tried to be different.
There's no doubting how classic "Raiders" is, but if you think "Crystal Skull" starts off too slow, then you need to go watch it again. "Raiders" is not non-stop action, there's actually only a few big actions sequences and a bunch of minor ones, people just remember it so fondly, and that's okay but let's judge the other three movies on their own merits.
"Temple of Doom" is actually non-stop, very little time passes without some danger or another introduced. The opening sequence is funny and complex, the mine-shaft sequence is classic, the bridge scene is harrowing. From start to finish this movie moves, thrills and entertains. The subject matter is very dark, but, so what?
"The Last Crusade" borders on downright goofy. Trying so hard to lighten up after "Temple" they nearly made this film float. It's the banter between Connery and Ford that propels the film. They are great together and it's a shame they didn't do more. There's no time to be board with this film, its a good fun, light romp with great special effects and lots of laughs.
"Crystal Skull" has to try quite hard to explain it's plot. That said, I won't here. Let's just say it involves aliens and you know that after the first 15 minutes, so don't say the ending shocked you or you didn't pay attention at the beginning.
The sad part is Connery did not / would not come back out of retirement for this. That is missed. Shea does a good job as Indy's son and it's great to have Marian back as Indy's true love. The answer, btw is, yes, those nasty ants do exist, just not quite to that extent, but they are based on a real type of ant. This movie is a lot of fun, just get rid of your expectations and enjoy it.
Over-all I say if you don't own them already this set is a good deal, me, I'm waiting for all four on blu-ray.
