(04/30/2000, p.5, Roger Ebert): "...One of the classic entertainments....Its foundations are personal, and passionate....The movie is just plain fun....It's done with a kind of heedless joy...", (06/10/1981, Step.): "...[A] fantasy-adventure....An exhilarating escapist entertainment....A vibrant and period-perfect world of wonders...", (06/12/1981, p.C10, Vincent Canby): "...Off and running at a breakneck pace....One of the most deliriously funny, ingenious and stylish American adventure movies ever made...", (12/01/2003, p.13, Premiere Staff): "RAIDERS revived for a new generation the pure cinematic joy of action."

(04/30/1996, p.8D, Mike Clark): "...Often underrated is this comedy's dead-on production design...", (05/01/2005, p.106, Premiere Staff): "[T]he meta-merchandising send-ups are inspired chuckles that get funnier with age.", (05/13/2005, p.70, Sam Adams): "The spoofs on marketing tie-ins and insecure tyrants have grown even more relevant...", (06/24/1987, Jagr.): "...Amusing sight gags...", (06/24/1987, p.C23, Janet Maslin): "...An ambitious sendup....Gentle, harmless satire than occasionally has real bite..."
