I'm sure nobody needs me to tell them why this movie is so good. That's because Jones has become a classic superhero. He's a guy who defies death constantly and surrounds himself with crazy people, many of them villains. He's basically James Bond, only as an archaeologist. He goes after treasures and so his adventures take him all around the world. This movie in particular is good because it has a cool plot that really moves. The opening classic sequence is amazing, but it doesn't stop there. Four fifths of this movie are really great. Then there's a stupid, fake looking, climactic scene, but so what. You subtract that and you have a perfect movie and nobody's perfect right? So it makes one mistake. That's a lot less than most movies. It's still terrific.
