Great fun collection

We could all day compare the last movie to the Temple of Doom and so on. It is not about that really. This collection is about grabbing some popcorn and sitting on the couch all day with your family and everyone having a great time. Unless you have been living under a rock you know what this movie franchise is all about.
This collection is the same one that was for sale prior to the release of the last movie The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. (stars are my opinion)

It contains;

Raiders *****
Temple of Doom *
The Last Crusade *****
(new)The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. ****

Also included are some documentaries that were filmed during the making of the films. Making of documentaries make this a must have for the Indy collector.
The Indiana Jones franchise may be getting long in the tooth but I think that this collection is a great pack of movies to have.

Thank you for reading my little review of this pack.

Great Box-Set

Okay, I believe we all know who Indiana Jones, is, right? I grew up with Indy and my kids will be the same. This new box-set is the definitive Indy box-set. This set features the original classic trilogy plus the newest addition, "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Just like the set that came out in May for the 4th movie, this set comes with the new special editions of the original 3 movies. The best part about this set is that the 4th movie is the 2-Disc special edition and not the lame 1-disc version. My only complaints with this set are 1) that the DVD cases are those really lame slim cases and not regular sized DVD cases and 2) the bonus disc from the original trilogy boxset is missing (although the special features makeup for that is most respects) and 3) while the cover is cool, the order of each movie cover is weird; you start from the top right and work your way around. All in all, this is the best Indy box-set out there and it's worth getting. Here's my ratings for each movie:

Raiders of the Lost Ark: 5/5
The Temple of Doom: 4/5
The Last Crusade: 5/5
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: 3.5/5

Great movies in order they are to me.

raiders 5 stars
Temple 4.5 stars
crusade 4.0 stars
crystal 3.5 stars

crusade was to much like raiders but not as good.to much humor and indy with a tie bugged me.

temple to me ruled,not quite as great as raiders but damn close.to me this movie harrison fit his role as indy perfect.

crystal wasnt bad,but not great.good to see indy back but he forgot his whip and gun and no traps.

all in all 5 stars indy rules and great movies.

They're all good

All the Indy films are at once different and the same. I think the people that put down "Temple of Doom" just missed the point because they are also the same people that complain "Last Crusade" and "Crystal Skull" are too much repeating the pattern of "Raiders." Well, the second film actually tried to be different.

There's no doubting how classic "Raiders" is, but if you think "Crystal Skull" starts off too slow, then you need to go watch it again. "Raiders" is not non-stop action, there's actually only a few big actions sequences and a bunch of minor ones, people just remember it so fondly, and that's okay but let's judge the other three movies on their own merits.

"Temple of Doom" is actually non-stop, very little time passes without some danger or another introduced. The opening sequence is funny and complex, the mine-shaft sequence is classic, the bridge scene is harrowing. From start to finish this movie moves, thrills and entertains. The subject matter is very dark, but, so what?

"The Last Crusade" borders on downright goofy. Trying so hard to lighten up after "Temple" they nearly made this film float. It's the banter between Connery and Ford that propels the film. They are great together and it's a shame they didn't do more. There's no time to be board with this film, its a good fun, light romp with great special effects and lots of laughs.

"Crystal Skull" has to try quite hard to explain it's plot. That said, I won't here. Let's just say it involves aliens and you know that after the first 15 minutes, so don't say the ending shocked you or you didn't pay attention at the beginning.

The sad part is Connery did not / would not come back out of retirement for this. That is missed. Shea does a good job as Indy's son and it's great to have Marian back as Indy's true love. The answer, btw is, yes, those nasty ants do exist, just not quite to that extent, but they are based on a real type of ant. This movie is a lot of fun, just get rid of your expectations and enjoy it.

Over-all I say if you don't own them already this set is a good deal, me, I'm waiting for all four on blu-ray.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!!

Don't get me wrong - there's nothing wrong with this boxed set.

The issue is that there will be a new, more exhaustive and comprehensive box coming in the next six months. It's coming. Don't be fooled!

If you must have the new movie now, then just buy the one disc. Wait for the new collection later.

That being said - the transfers and quality of the DVD's within are good. The special features are fine. It's complete now with all 4 films, which is nice. But I'm all for having one copy of every movie that I love, and not duplicate my collection by buying something which is bound to be obsolete shortly.
