All that's lacking is a genuine sense of surprise. It's very possible that was left out on purpose. (Boston Globe)

Why Raiders succeeds where Temple doesnt May 20, 2008
Spielberg didnt have lofty ambitions for the movie beyond entertainment, saying, I didnt see the film as anything more than a better-made version of the Republic serials, but its obvious, especially compared to the sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, that he really cared about making Raiders. His eye for great visuals and the craft of a good action sequence is at its peak here, and the movie works both as homage and sly reinvention of the old serials. (MSNBC -- News)
