Raiders is bland. I find it boring,

I wonder if this is a generational thing. In the past, movies had their ups and downs - it was called pacing. Nowadays if something isn't exploding or someone screaming every 5 seconds, it's considered slow.

Hardly a generational thing. I was around when Raiders came out. I was around when ANH came out. I have no problem with a movie that isn't all frantic energy. But Raiders is trying to be an energetic film and it fails. And Raiders' problem isn't a matter of slowness. Things happen pretty fast in Raiders. It's a matter of force and intensity, which isn't all about speed. Things in Raiders are just bland. Bland villains, bland portrayal of locations, bland situations. When I look back over Raiders, there just isn't that much that's INTERESTING. Whereas the other two films have plenty.
