 Classic Stuff. Pleasing the next generation now February 8, 2010
B. Foat (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
My 8 year old son asked for the Indiana Jones movies after playing Lego Indiana Jones on the computer. He's thrilled with the movies and endlessly points out the different scenes that appear in the game.
The product came as advertised and at a reasonable price. Arrived quick, too, even at holiday time. Amazon always comes through for me.
Comes with Spanish and French language options and subtitles.
great product February 8, 2010

I found it cheaper here than at any of the local stores by about a third of the cost. It arrived on time and in great shape. I always buy from Amazon.
 I have to take off 1 star for KOTCS. February 8, 2010
James Donnelly (Arizona)
I remember being 7 years old and walking in to the opening night show of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. After several viewings in as many theaters as I could find it in over the years (found it in an IMAX theater once... WOW!), and the approximately 200 times I've seen it I've seen it on both VHS (standard and widescreen) and then the beauteous 4-disc Trilogy set with the supplemental features disc... well, let's just leave it with RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK is my favorite film ever. Despite its miniscule flaws in historical accuracy and a few shot-continuity errors, it's a perfect film. Humongously entertaining with great effects (certainly for 1981!), terrific acting, sparkling dialogue, and a breathless pace, it's the perfect piece of Hollywood entertainment.
INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, which suffers at times from a very average script, other continuity errors in the Indy mythology, and a lackluster female lead, still manages to be very entertaining and heart-stopping (pun intended), and Ford is still as charming as ever.
INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE is near-perfect. Spielberg recovers from the somewhat dark prequel with a bright, engaging, and extremely entertaining final act to the Indy Trilogy. Certain character moments are bothersome, but it reunites the original cast members (sans Karen Allen) and adds Dr. Henry Jones Sr., with a spot-on performance by Sean Connery. Who else but James Bond could be the father of Indiana Jones?
So there you have it. Probably the best trilogy of all time.
UNTIL...
Hey, understand this first, for the people hating on Spielberg for the celluloid crime that is INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL: This film was hardly directed by Spielberg. In fact, this film has George Lucas's tacky, CGI-heavy, sci-fi fetish fingerprints ALL OVER IT. It looks like one of the STAR WARS prequels set on our planet instead of something a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. There were so many times that I prayed there would be a fourth film, but that was back in the 1990's. The EARLY TO MID 1990's, when Harrison Ford hadn't become a Hollywood joke yet. But the mere fact that it was 19 years after the previous Indy adventure should have been convincing enough for anyone to just stay away. If anyone was pushing for this film to be made, it was Ford, who has slowly been watching his star become dimmer and dimmer over the last decade and a half. This is a film that so clearly did NOT need to be made that it boggles the mind why it did.
Now, I'm not one of those "Lucas Raped My Childhood" idiots. Despite the return of Karen Allen and the additions of great actors like Ray Winstone, Cate Blanchett and John Hurt... this is just a film that never needed to happen. It felt like a poor excuse to bring these people together again. And the film itself has nothing redeeming about it. It has a climax that literally had me thinking I had somehow fallen asleep and woke up in another film, uninspired action set pieces, and its complete reliance on CG rather than practical effects just makes it that much harder to watch. Believe me when I say that I wanted SO BADLY to love this film, but even while watching it... I knew that something had gone very wrong.
So three films of varying degrees of excellence and one film that just doesn't do anything... My advice: Get it anyway and gift KOTCS to your niece or nephew. Kids will probably like it. Because having the first three films is more than worth it.
Exactly what I wanted and couldn't ask for more! February 4, 2010

I wanted to give this to my husband for Christmas, (being a very large Indiana Jones fan), and not only was I totally pleased with the product, but my husband was ecstatic!
A must have collection January 19, 2010
Danny (Houston, TX)
I bought this as a gift for my 10 year old son and he loves it. It is a must have if you are an Indiana Jones fan or even if you are a classics lover.
Great picture quality.
