Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am giving this ***** because the DVD set itself is very good, it is loaded with bonus material. And it should be rated for what it is, ignoring any previous DVD releases. That said, I would not suggest spending more money to get this set. The bonus material could bore you. I prefer interviews & documentaries produced at the time the films were made. The labeling on the box is designed to deceive by stating "Includes All 3 Films, First Time Available - Special Editions". Like there was no special edition before. Oh, the slim cases are nice, but I like the original brown box more. I will group the "12 All-New, Must-See Special Features" (their wording, not mine)by catagory. 1) New Introductions to the films by Steven Speilberg & George Lucas. STORYBOARDS, unless something differs greatly from the film, I have trouble sitting through these: 2) Snakes Alive! The Well Of Souls. - From Lost Ark 3) Hold On To Your Hat! The Coal Mine Chase. - From Temple of Doom. 4) The Birth Of the Action Hero! The Last Crusade Opening Scene. MEMORIES, modern interviews with those who worked on the films back then. These are always a little jaded for me. 5) The Indy Trilogy, A Crystal Clear Appreciation. - The cast & crew of the new movie talk about how well they like the original three. 6) Indy's Women Reminisce. - a reunion of Indy's main women. 7) Indy's Friends & Enemies. - Steve, George, & the writers discuss character creation, including a look at the new movie. 8) Creepy Crawlies. - Steve George & Frank Marshall remenisce about snakes, bugs & rats. BEHIND THE SCENES, new documentaries about the making of the originals: 9) The Mystery Of The Melting Face. - a re-creation of the original special effect in "Ark". 10) Discover Adventure On Location with Indy. - A slightly misleading title as this is also a modern day travel around the world, showing where the films were originally shot. 11) Photo Galleries from each film. And then there is: 12) LEGO Indiana Jones.- promotional demo games. Again, this makes a very good DVD release, but nothing worth replacing your older set for. I prefer the original box set extras, especially the bonus 4th disc some stores sold that contained an original 1980's documentary about the films!
