Rated Raiders of the Lost Ark 5/10

I don't know why, but I've never been particularly taken with Indiana Jones.

Harrison Ford puts on a great performance, and the score is great, but other than that... meh?

The thing that really gets me with this outing is that Indy doesn't really make any difference to anything. He's running around like mad, doing all his cool action sequences and so on, but the Nazis end up with the Ark anyway and then they get deus-ex-machina'd. He's entirely superfluous to the main plot.
