Return of the Great Adventure-Raider of the Lost Ark

True, Raider of the Lost Ark is a true cineamatic adventure. It has great special effects, sound, stunts not to mention the actors. It’s drama, comedy, adventure and love. Can hardly wait to see this great action packed movie.

Mr. Jones

True. Indiana Jones is the ultimate cinematic adventurer. BECAUSE He’s so relatable to the audience and he brings you along for the journey. He’s a great host for his films. Also he’s a badass. And also, Indiana Jones has a striking resemblance to Harrison Ford… like, they could be brothers or something…. ;)

Indy

True — he gets himself into lot of jams, finds the clues, breaks the codes and at the end has the woman! He is all that and a bag of chips!

True!

Indy has got it all: the know-how, the good looks, the brains, an edge with genuine heart underneath, and (of course) a John Williams soundtrack.

Indiana Jones is the ultimate cinematic adventurer. TRUE

Indy was the first adventurer to get the formula right in terms of story and adventure. Now the adventurer movies like Lara Croft Tomb Raider are too over the top with unbelievable stunts and much to be desired in story.Indiana Jones is a Professor with the skills and strength needed to get the job done. When I think adventurer I think the classic Indy not some hotshot wannabe from nowadays.

if it's adventure it must be ..... indiana jones

the answer id true! when indiana jones first hit the big screen in 1981 there were plenty of heros , but none like him who fought so hard to get what he wanted. when indy went after items, he didnt let anything stop him , not even being dragged behind a truck or supposedly losing his girl in a exploding truck. when you ask many people who they think of when you ask them of a action hero they will say indiana jones . to some it all up, he is what everyone wants to be either for just two hours on screen or even life .

Indiana Jones is the Ultimate Cinematic Adventurer

TRUE!

Indiana Jones is the Ultimate Cinematic Adventurer because he is what every little boy dreams of becoming…a handsome daredevil who goes to far off places searching for lost treasure, who gets himself in trouble with “bad guys” but can always get himself out of any situation with humor, luck and a loyal sidekick. He always gets the girl and carries a signature weapon (like Indy’s whip). Women want him and men want to be him. Who wouldn’t want that? :)
