| User ReviewJosh RPerfect mix of adventure, history, heart, morality, and good advice. Loved seeing a younger 'Mr. Gibbs' in the supporting cast in the last third of the story! |
| User ReviewJosiah CA fun and educational TV film, My First Adventure follows young Indiana Jones on an exciting journey, first to Cairo then to Tangiers. It's chock-full of charismatic, wonderful set pieces, and gorgeous scenery. |
| User ReviewElizabeth Weducational, entertaining and indiana jones! |
| User ReviewSam SThis wasnt bad, but it wasn't good either. I didn't like the little Indiana Jones too much. He didn't do anything that was actually adventurous. |
| User ReviewKelly CCorrect me if I am wrong, but isn't the name of the movie "Curse of the Jackel"? Other than that mistake, good movie. |
| User ReviewJeremiah CI think this is the one that kicked off the series... definitely worth watching. |
| User ReviewJacob NThis was actually two adventures (episodes) combined into one, without the original "moral of the story" bookends. However, I'm not sure what Lucas was thinking, because the first story doesn't come to a final conclusion before the second story abruptly begins. I thought maybe I accidentally bumped the "skip chapter" button on my remote, but I didn't. Regardless, the two stories are somewhat interesting and they give you a hint into how this boy ultimately became the well-known Indiana Jones. Much care seemed to be put into the geography, historical context and depiction of other cultures. During Indy's first adventure, he meets Lawrence of Arabia. |
| User ReviewMichael HWhy did Lucas feed the need to mess up this show. He took two seperate episodes, removed the Old Indy bumpers and combined them into one "film." In the process, they completely lose what made them interesting, namely the perspective of the old man! Also, there is no bridge to explain the jump in time/locale. It just happens so you're sitting there watching Indy in Egypt then all of a sudden he's in Morrocco...???? Wtf? Stupid Lucas. |
| User ReviewHeather MVery enjoyable adventures of a younger, crazier Indy. |
| User ReviewMartin NDon't think this is good enough to have Indiana Jones as part of the title. Probably not that bad if you are under 10 and haven't seen any other Indiana Jones stuff. |
