Jones
Cause he got it all.
Indy
UM Yes.
As an 8 year old girl I would run around my backyard and pretend to be him. I wanted nothing more than to go on his adventures.
Lindsey Bakker
Dr. Jones
Of course he’s the ultimate adventurer. Mostly because of the hat. It’s all about the hat. You know this.
Joseph Greene
Yes but mostly no
Ther’s one way in which he fails in this movie. At the very end, after dening the power of God, having seen the power of God we don’t see him change. I mean, wouldn’t that change you? Wouldn’t you at least have some thoughts / feelings about that. That part always disappointments me. Other than that: Swing Away!
true. then the Hobbit in
true. then the Hobbit in Lord Of the Rings
Absolutely true!
Women fell in love with him, and men wanted to be him! Running around the world, battling the forces of evil, Indiana Jones is definitely the ultimate cinematic adventurer! And who could forget the stirring music?
Lillian Del Pilar
TRUE!
All you really have to do is look at the countless films, TV series, books and comics that came after “Raiders” to see the impact Indiana Jones had on pop culture. He is an adventurer, sure, but primarily because as a archealogy professor, it comes with the job. His weaknesses and excitement for his pursuits make him relatable and easy to get behind. He’s not in it for the money or for babes, he simply wants that artifact that “belongs in a museum.” Indiana Jones is often in over his head, gets beaten up and is usually outnumbered, which makes him all the more enjoyable to follow. - David J. Fowlie
Well..
There was that other fella Han Solo, but he had some sort of gambling addiction. So, yes I would say true!
Indiana Jones
Indy is the ultimate cinematic adventurer because “it’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.”
Indiana Jones
Indy is the ultimate cinematic crusader because “it’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.”
