First thing to say, i love the Indiana Jones Movies, but the first movie is always my favorite. Everything the film has to offer is outstanding: Action, comedy, romance, history and suspense. So to start my review on the entire series. Let's get started.
The film starts With Indy and a thief Satipo finding the Golden Idol in South America, when Indy finds the Golden Idol, a massive Boulder appears, Satipo betrays Indy, then one shot later he dies. The Boulder chases Indy out of the Cave, then he meets with his Arch-rival Rene Belloq, that he tells Jones to give him the Idol, he does then he orders the Group of half-naked people to chase down Indy, Indy luckily Escapes and comes to Jock's plane. In the plane, he finds a snake, and says to Jock "Snakes, i hate snakes". A few days later, he's back as a teacher talking about history to the students, after that, Marcus Brody tells Indy to find the Ark of the Covenant. He starts his quest by finding Marion Ravenwood, Indy comes in to the cabin and Marion is not happy to see him, because she didn't see Indy in a while. She slaps him and she tells him to come back tomorrow. Three Seconds later, she comes across the evil Gestapo Nazi Agent Arnold Ernst Toht, his first line is "Good Evening Fräulein". He tries to torture Marion by burning her with the Medallion she has, Toht fails and Indy comes to save Marion. Then a fight scene comes and Toht tries to take the Medallion, but since it is burned, his hand gets burned and Marion and Indy escapes to Cairo.
When arriving at Cairo, Indy meets his companion Sallah and tells him about the Ark and that Belloq and the Nazi's are after it. Later, when Indy and Marion walks across town, they meet a Nazi, then the Nazi steals Marion and Indy tries to find her. After like 3 minutes of finding, he comes across a Swordsman, luckily Indy shoots the guy and the crowd is happy. Indy finds a basket case where Marion is captured. The Nazi puts Marion inside a truck, then Indy spots a truck and the truck explodes, Indy thought that was the truck Marion was in. Later Indy meets Belloq...again and Belloq tells Indy that he's the one that's opening the Ark not Indy, Indy tries to kill Belloq but fails but he luckily got helped by Sallah's kids. Indy and Sallah talks about them two searching for the Ark of the Covenant together. Later they come to where the Nazi's work, Indy and Sallah works together, Indy goes Down to a hidden Place to solve a puzzle where he has to find where the Ark is located. He knows where it is. Belloq and a person finds Company, which is Toht, he shows his burned hand and says "Heil Hitler".
Indy, Sallah and many others are digging in the spot where the Ark of the Covenant is. They find the area where the Ark is, but it's surrounded by snakes so Indy and Sallah must be careful, they manage to get past the snakes and takes the Ark of the Covenant. This time, Belloq comes and gives Marion something to eat. They drink vodka and gets drunk. Marion tries to Escape with her new dress, but she gets caught by Toht. Toht says his final English Words "So, what shall we talk about". Later, Belloq and the Nazi's discovers the People digging for the Ark. When Indy tries to get the Ark up from the area, they get caught by the Nazi's, the Nazi's take the Ark and Marion comes with Indy down the Area. When stuck down the area, Indy finds a way out by smashing a wall with a statue and they escape the area. Indy Chases the Nazi's in this 7-minute scene. Indy rides a horse, drives a truck and defeats a bunch of bad guys. After a long Chase, the Nazi's won't get away. Indy is on a boat to come away from the Nazi's. A day later, the Nazi's have located a boat with Indy on it. Indy tries to Escape and fight the Nazi's one more time to save a captured Marion. Later the boat comes to a small island. There Indy finds the Nazi's and Marion. Indy dresses up as a Nazi so he doesn't get caught. The Nazi's are seen walking with the Ark to the Place to open the ark, but shortly after, Indy is seen holding a bazooka trying to shoot the Nazi's. Belloq says to Indy that he can shoot the Ark, but he declines and gets captured and stuck on a pole.
The Nazi's are prepared to open the Ark, Belloq dressed as a priest opens the Ark along with Toht and a German Nazi Dietrich. When they open the Ark of the Covenant. Spirits come flying by, and the final Words said by Belloq is "It's beautiful" A ghost comes to Toht, where the ghost has a pretty face then the Next split-second turns to death. The others Nazi's dies by Lightning, Dietrich's face shrivels up, Toht's face melts and Belloq's face explodes on-screen. The ghosts go back in the Ark and Marion and Indy are free. One moral: Don't mess with God. Indy returns the Ark to Brody, they said that the Ark is not going to the museum, but in a Warehouse owned by top men.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best films i've ever seen. The film's humour, action sequences, acting, practical effects, villains, characters, script, fight scenes, cinematography, directing, Opening sequence and the Whole film is outstanding. No cons at all. This film is recommended for anyone, please note that this film has a few scary scenes, so if children can handle the melting scene, kids can watch it too.
