Indiana Jones Movies

The writer has said that he is ending the series but many still speculate on the future of Indiana Jones. A combination of Lucas’s writing and Direction by Spielberg has made for one of the most top grossing films of all time reaching more than a billion dollars in the box office and video sales. The film continues to entice moviegoers to watch and the character (Harrison Ford) has become an older man than the last film which makes the film’s appeal all the more powerful. Kids love adventure and will love this installment for Lucas says it’s the best one yet (after writing all the previous ones).

Many are seeing the release of another installment to the already legendary film series as a waste of time but the nostalgia of kids (who now have their own kids) who watched wide-eyed as he did his stunts and seemingly impossible antics fuels the film. His human nature keeps him a figure to watch out for, he takes punches jumps from high places, trips, falls and gets hurt making him all the more appealing to today’s adventure loving generation. Critics say it’s a waste of time, I say I doubt it for I myself am a fan. Who doesn’t love Indy and all his crazy ways that always gets the job done. The new Jones (in the to be released film) will be mellow and more into the dialogues and has been labeled as a “Tamer” and that he’s done with the film for according to him, the character has reached it’s peak and it’s time to throw in the towel to another chap.

Remember the first film that introduced us to Indiana Jones? Raiders of the Lost Ark had our adventurer being lured by the Germans who seek the Ark of the Covenant which was the mythical box which was made by King Solomon and is said to hold the tablets where the Ten Commandments were stored and kept. The story has some fact in it in a sense that historically it is believed that there was truly an Ark of the Covenant which was indeed built by King Solomon and placed in the temple according to instructions from GOD Himself.
That’s where the facts end and the fiction/adventure part begins for most of the storyline is fictional and as born out of the imagination of the Hollywood writers and the brains or George Lucas who directed and owns the company who made them.
