I’m still finding it interesting critics and other media-folk are bashing this movie when it’s blowing away all box office expectations. People are seeing it and going back to see it second and third times.
Sure, it wasn’t supposed to be Last Crusade, but it was a darn good movie. It’s easier for me to accept the plot in Crystal Skull than it is ripping out a man’s still-beating heart and he live.

Harrison Ford and Indy are both older. But so am I. I don’t feel that had any relevance to my liking or dislinking this film.
Clever Tarzan reference, but just how fast is he on that vine he actually beats Indy and co. to the cliff?
Once the skull is found, it becomes a skeleton key, a way of moving the plot along when nothing else would do.
Where was the wonder? This relic was something important and something to be protected; instead and for all the power this thing was supposed to have, no one seemed to care. From the shards of pottery at the warehouse, to the handling of the Ark, archaeology seemed to be treated like junk. In contrast, think back to the pieces Indy gives Marcus at the beginning of Raiders and Last Crusade.
Mac may as well have been Evie’s brother from the Mummy Returns. John Hurt may as well been Lassie as he was the only one who could understand and follow his lead. But I guess that’s another nod to the 50s. Well done!

I planned to take Indiana Joens latest adventure as pure entertainment but I wasn’t entertained..
The story is vague,its confusing, however kids will love it because its all special effects to the point of au nausium…….Spielberg and Lucas should be ashamed of themselves. They are so creative and if they couldn’t come up with something better than this, they shouldn’t have done it..
The kid that plays Marian’s son lacked chrisma.. no chemistry whatsoever….between he and Indy or he and even Marian….she was great as usual.. Cate Blanchett is such a marvelous actress but her role was lost in this one. I’m sure she probably did it for her kids to see in the future..why else??????
I’m an Indy fan but this left me wanting so much more.

Why don’t we just accept ” Indiana Jones ” as a pure entertainment, the movies are based on bits and pieces of established facts to give the movie flavor, there was a shot of the large water falls in Brazil, much to my regret i could not afford the side trip when in SA but recognized it from our travel brochures, I think his movies may influences others to pursue archaeology. I recall Shakespeare, to Horatio,” There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy.”
