"The film is old-fashioned, self-referential fun, in which ancient mythologies are stirred in with newly created ones like the fetishistic fedora, bullwhip and leather jacket that make up Indy's ritual regalia. Indiana Jones as embodied by Harrison Ford inspires an affection that Bond and the supposedly more complex, self-doubting superheroes don't. In an odd way, he embodies old-fashioned decency and a sense of being at one with the world and its history." Philip French
"I can say that if you liked the other Indiana Jones movies, you will like this one, and that if you did not, there is no talking to you." Roger Ebert
