When the first film was released I thought it was so refreshing. I loved those old films such as King Solomons Mines and She. I guess even King Kong. And the first five minutes of the film with those set piece action scenes - entering mine, rolling ball, escape, aeroplane - was fantastic.
However, while after Star Wars the science fiction film got completely re-invented by Hollywood, after Indiana Jones nothing comparable happened. Maybe there were a few films, but thinking hard I can only think of Congo and Sahara.
Edit: I've just thought of some more: National Treasure and the sequel also out in 2008, National Treasure: Book of Secrets |
Jewel Of The Nile , Romancing the Stone , The Mummy , The Mummy Returns - there are quite a few Indy-variants , some almost as good as the great one himself
