Summary: Left the Biblical themes behind for tired old typical one.
Comment: Without giving away the end i will just say you are better off passing on this movie. Indy has always been my fav movie charecter but this movie ruined the memory.
I even thought George Lucas was brilliant for his historic films. Seeing this i realized what a 1 trick Pony he really is.
I wanted to give it 1 star. I have waved all my friends/family away. There is a reason the movie is already in the Budget Bin for a new release. It gets 2 stars for nostalgia only.

Summary: Indy's Back
Comment: After a 15-year hiatus, Harrison Ford has reprised his best role as the swash-buckling, fedora-wearing archaeologist/university professor Indiana Jones. This time, Indy's up against Russian agents led by a sword wielding female commander, played by Cate Blanchett. The two groups are in pursuit of a crystal skull, which has powers related to a mythical city of gold.
Indy, along with his partner Mac, were captured by the Russians in Mexico. Upon returning to the U.S., Indy and the Russians head to Roswell, New Mexico, site of the infamous "Area 51", which is loaded with secrets. Indy is forced to locate a box containing the mummified remains of an extra-terrestrial who crashed in the desert. But, Indy has a surprise in store. After managing to escape from the Russians, Indy wanders into a specially-constructed city with mannequins designed to measure the effects of an atomic blast. Indy manages to save himself by hiding inside a lead-protected refrigerator. But, the adventure's just beginning.
Indy is then convinced to head to Peru at the behest of Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). Mutt's friend Professor Oxley, played by John Hurt, has been captured because he knows the location of the crystal skull. Oxley is also a colleague of Indy's. It is said that whoever finds the skull and returns it to its rightful place will gain knowledge beyond their wildest dreams. But, the Russians are on to the skull as well, and its a race between them and Indy to find the skull first. Along the way, Marion Ravenwood, Indy's original love interest from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" returns, played once again by Karen Allen. Marion holds a revealing secret that surprises Indy. Marion has softened somewhat over the years, but she still holds a spell over Indy.
Harrison Ford is once again at his swashbuckling best as Professor Jones. Indy has become Ford's signature role over they years; even above his role of Han Solo in the first "Star Wars" trilogy. Karen Allen is very good as the gutsy but softer Marion, and Shia LaBeouf does a surprisingly good job as Mutt. There is lots of great action scenes throughout: I especially liked the scenes with the giant ants, and, of course, there's some great comedy from Indy, too. This film might not stack up to the first three movies in the series, but it is still very good and definitely worth watching.
I highly recommend this action-packed movie. Its a must-see for Harrison Ford fans and fans of the first three Indiana Jones movies.

Summary: A somewhat different kind of Indy movie...
Comment: Before I saw this my mother and some others said this was'nt as good as the first three Indy movies. And I have to agree, they were right. Me and my brothers grew up in the 80's 90's on the Indiana Jones series. I do understand Harrison Ford is ageing and can't do all the action that he use to do. Sad Sean Connery was not in the film, although you do see him in the photo aswell as Marcus on Indy's desk. But this was'nt a totally bad movie either, it had its moments good and bad. Be cool if Harrison Ford, Spielberg, Lucus decided to make ONE more Indy movie and let it be "Indiana Jones, & The lost city of Atlantis"...

Summary: Let down
Comment: Horrible way to end the Indiana Jones franchise. This is by far the worse movie in the franchise. I'd rank them from best to worse as 1-Raiders, 2-Last Crusade, 3-Temple of Doom, 4-Crystal Skull.
You'd think Spielberg/Lucas and company would create better films as they got older and more experience. /shrug

Summary: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Comment: "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is the fourth installment in the Indiana Jones series and it follows the same storyline and formula as it's three predecessors. All I heard about this film before I watched it was that it didn't compare to the originals and that the special effects were terrible. Well it is true the film didn't compare to the originals but, the film was still enjoyable and keep my interest. As for the special effects, they may have not been the best but, they fit the lighthearted atmosphere of the film. The film is worth watching for fans of the series and if you enjoy action/family oriented films (such as Transformers).
