Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark


The opening scene is still one of the most defining features of Indiana Jones, showing the typical things we expect of him:  escaping traps to get to a piece of long lost treasure.  Unfortunately, this is the only section where we get to see these exciting and death defying stunts.  When you've given that expectation right at the start, and the rest of the film doesn't have anything that's similar, it's a little bit of a disappointment.  The rest of the film isn't bad though, and it was still interesting to keep you going through the whole way.  Indiana was witty and his remarks are often funny.  Supernatural elements come into play in the final scene (which is another memorable scene) and it doesn't feel out of place even though there were no other indication before it that there were going to be something weird like this.
