Editorial Review: Amazon.com: As with Star Wars, the George Lucas-produced Indiana Jones trilogy was not just a plaything for kids but an act of nostalgic affection toward a lost phenomenon: the cliffhanging movie serials of the past. Episodic in structure and with fate hanging in the balance about every 10 minutes, the Jones features tapped into Lucas's extremely profitable Star Wars formula of modernizing the look and feel of an old, but popular, story model. Steven Spielberg directed all three films, which are set in the late 1930s and early '40s: the comic book-like Raiders of the Lost Ark, the spooky, Gunga Din-inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the cautious but entertaining Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Fans and critics disagree over the order of preference, some even finding the middle movie nearly repugnant in its violence. (Pro-Temple of Doom people, on the other hand, believe that film to be the most disarmingly creative and emotionally effective of the trio.) One thing's for sure: Harrison Ford's swaggering, two-fisted, self-effacing performance worked like a charm, and the art of cracking bullwhips was probably never quite the iconic activity it soon became after Raiders. Supporting players and costars were very much a part of the series, too--Karen Allen, Sean Connery (as Indie's dad), Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan, Amrish Puri, Denholm Elliot, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies among them. Years have passed since the last film (another is supposedly in the works), but emerging film buffs can have the same fun their predecessors did picking out numerous references to Hollywood classics and B-movies of the past. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bring the Adventure HomeLucasfilm took their sweet time putting out the original Indiana Jones trilogy on DVD. In fact, it wasn't until the Indy 4 rumors stopped looking so much as rumors and started to become a reality that the company released the Indiana Jones films for the first time on DVD in this rustic-looking box set. With the advent of INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, the movies have since been re-released on DVD (and slightly altered as well). Many people won't mind those changes, but I enjoy ... Read More Rating: - Pulp Adventure at Its BestIn 1981, Steven Spielberg (Jaws) and George Lucas (Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope ) reinvented the pulp adventure genre that they had fallen in love with during their youth. Their film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, was the perfect tribute to Saturday matinee serials and boys' adventure magazines. Not only did Spielberg and Lucas create the greatest action film in decades (and perhaps in the history of American movies), but they also introduced movie audiences to the greatest adventure hero since the ...

Rating: - IndiI enjoy my Indiana Jones box set... now I'll need to add the new one though! Rating: - Great Adventure SeriesWhat a treat to have the three original Indiana Jones movies in one set!!
