This had to do with a review about Raiders, posted below, where the critic repeatedly flogged my favorite film...
----------------
I think film critics undergo a procedure when they sign on that removes all LOGIC, IMAGINATION, and SENSE OF CREATIVITY.
How the **** could you not at least LIKE Raiders, if not LOVE it?
I'll give some examples of what I mean:
1. "He only packs a jacket, whip and gun, and that's pretty funny..."
Does it take that much gray matter to figure out that
TIME has passed in between scenes?
2. "Only one of the many premises of the film is explained.."
Once again, have you ever heard of the bible?
Ever heard of WWII? Nazis? Backstory?
The guy sounds like he WANTS a boring movie... "Raiders is like a 12 course meal, all of desserts..."

Excellent point, IndyCoil. I agree wholeheartedly.
