Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

It seems to me like people are being a little over critical of the movie. You really have to take it for what it is, which is a freaking Indiana Jones movie. They've always been on the cheesy side. They've always had scenes that defied the laws of nature. I really loved this movie, primarily because it made me feel like I was 9 years old again. It was fun to watch. The cast and crew did a great job of making it look and feel like an Indy movie. Yes, there are a couple of scenes that are a little out there even for an Indy flick, but they're still fun thanks to Harrison Ford. The guy is definitely still on. I also liked all the references to previous films and little in-jokes. The chemistry between Shia Lebouf and Harrison Ford was something I was worried about and it ended up being one of the best things about the movie. They were really great together.

People keep saying "It's no Iron Man." No kidding. It's not trying to be. If you love movies, Indiana Jones, and are looking for an enjoyable summer movie experience then I highly recommend this film. It's definitely a must see on the big screen kind of experience.

*SPOILER WARNING*

I thought it was good too. It was everything that the movie was supposed to be. They did what they set out to do. since the movie takes place in the fifties, they took a B-movie approach as opposed to the serial approach they took in the first ones. And it worked. It felt like an Indiana Jones movie. It updated with the time. But Mutt's Tarzan stint was a little bit out there, tho...
