Movie Review #1 -- Raiders of the Lost Ark [Post #2]

*Warning: This review contains spoilers!*

Car chases, snakes, blood, deaths, fighting, and many more intense actions are involved in the movie, Indiana Jones; Raiders of the Lost Ark, and sadly, I cannot stand any of this. Since I am a complete wimp, this movie did not appeal to me whatsoever. First of all, at the beginning, Indiana Jones finds a golden head which is instantly taken away by a man who you later find out is a notorious, French architect who is one of Jones' enemies. This completely confused me in the beginning, and truly, I believe the movie could have gone on without this scene. The movie did not revolve around a golden head. It revolved around Indiana Jones and his quest to find the arcane Ark of the Covenant which is said to be the box containing the original Ten Commandments. Throughout the movie, there is loads of action-packed adventures. Anyone who is fascinated by action and fighting and much more would love this movie. However, I have a predilection for romantic-comedies and sweet, touching films. At the end of the movie, there is the very important scene where the Ark is opened, and everything crazy breaks loose. That scene was well-done, but I did not find this scene amusing or interesting. It was creepy in my perspective. To conclude, I recommend this film to anyone who has a penchant for action-packed, bloody, insane movies.
