One of the twins is at a sleepover tonight, so we thought we’d watch a movie in the basement, other twin turns on Disney+ and I figure she’s would appreciate Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, so we turn it on.

Decent 4k stream available on Disney+. I know it’s dated, I haven’t watched it myself in probably 25 years but I remember it being decent. Boy was I wrong!

Acting is bad. Effects aren’t special at all. Pacing is horrible. I don’t know if Temple of Doom or Last Crusade hold up, but this one sure didn’t. And who know how shitty Crystal Skull is now, I remember hating it in theaters.


What a waste of 2 hours.

About to watch a stunt show. It won’t hold up either.

Started watching this a couple nights ago expecting to hate it, I'm not a huge fan of most old movies and honestly I don't think I've ever watched this one straight through. Got about 40 mins in and was pleasantly surprised actually, for a 40yo movie it seemed decent. No cheesier than one would expect for something this old.

BTTF is far superior to Indy.
Yes, But in all due fairness, BTTF is always on, so a little wore out on it. The Raiders trilogy (not including the last two movies in this) are now just becoming heavy in rotation on the Paramount network, so I was giving that more favor at this time.
