The Man With Hat is back in his original adventure...
A wonderful opportunity to see that great Spielberg movie on the big screen, and on the IMAX, and a brand new print.
I won't begin to bore you with the plot, as I am sure that just about the World and his wife have seen the movie at least a dozen times, and know the plot inside out.
Just to say that seeing Harrison Ford as archeologist 'Indiana Jones' is a real delight, this first film is by far the best, having ticked all the boxes. From that fantastic opening in the South American caves with Jones trying to outrun a huge boulder, to his tracking down the 'Well of Souls' and then the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant.
The action comes thick and fast with some truly wonderous set pieces, the score from John Williams is amongst some of his best work, the cinematography and editing are a delight to see, and the cast all excel, but I have to give a special mention to Ronald Lacey who played 'Toht', the rather evil Nazi, just a delight watching him on screen, he really does scare the bejesus out of one.
Does not get much better than this.......9 out of 10
