"Before I understood what ‘cinema’ was as an artform, before I understood film as something to study and devour and drown in, I understood that Raiders of the Lost Ark was the greatest movie of all time." — Matt Neal, ABC Radio (Australia)
"Cementing Steven Spielberg’s place as the greatest blockbuster director ever, Raiders of the Lost Ark well deserves its spot as the jewel of action cinema." — Harry Solomons, Loud and Clear Reviews
"Harrison Ford’s skill as an actor has often been mischaracterized thanks to his myriad blockbuster roles like Star Wars but he brings a certain effortless charm to this role, one that’s both brave and vulnerable." — Wesley Lovell, Cinema Sight
