Nearly 20 years after riding his last Crusade, Harrison Ford makes a welcome return as archaeologist/relic hunter Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an action-packed fourth installment that's, in a nutshell, less memorable than the first three but great nostalgia for fans of the series. Producer George Lucas and screenwriter David Koepp (War of the Worlds) set the film during the cold war, as the Soviets--replacing Nazis as Indy's villains of choice and led by a sword-wielding Cate Blanchett with black bob and sunglasses--are in pursuit of a crystal skull, which has mystical powers related to a city of gold. After escaping from them in a spectacular opening action sequence, Indy is coerced to head to Peru at the behest of a young greaser (Shia LaBeouf) whose friend--and Indy's colleague--Professor Oxley (John Hurt) has been captured for his knowledge of the skull's whereabouts. Whatever secrets the skull holds are tertiary; its reveal is the weakest part of the movie, as the CGI effects that inevitably accompany it feel jarring next to the boulder-rolling world of Indy audiences knew and loved. There's plenty of comedy, delightful stunts--ants play a deadly role here--and the return of Raiders love interest Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, once shrill but now softened, giving her ex-love bemused glances and eye-rolls as he huffs his way to save the day. Which brings us to Ford: bullwhip still in hand, he's a little creakier, a lot grayer, but still twice the action hero of anyone in film today. With all the anticipation and hype leading up to the film's release, perhaps no reunion is sweeter than that of Ford with the role that fits him as snugly as that fedora hat. --Ellen A. Kim

 Another fun romp with Dr. Jones... November 18, 2008

I really enjoyed this addition to the Indiana Jones franchise. It was great to see Harrison Ford is still able to hold his own in an action-adventure, especially in this role. It was an interesting take on the "ancient astronaut" theory of psuedo-archaeology and I do wish they had touched on the subject a bit more explicitly in-dialogue to save me having to explain it to people I have seen the movie with. I thought the movie contained just enough of both the grit and silliness I've come to expect from the Indy movies.
The DVD is great. I am kind of disappointed at the placing of chapter starts. I do understand though that they are broken into scenes and not just the cool action sequences I want to watch at the drop of a hat. I have found though that if I just want to see the warehouse scene or the standard "Indy fights the guy much bigger than him" moment, I do end up inevitably watching the rest of the film from that point on, even if I hadn't initially intended to. The bonus features on this single disc version were just enough to satisfy me.

Thanx guys for destroying one of my childhood heros. You just weren't satisfied with raping the holy trinity, were you?

Harrison Ford is showing his age. He is still pretty good with the action in the films he makes, but this one is not up to the standard of the first one or the first two Indiana Jones Films. The Indiana Jones films need to stop here. No more! Let us watch what we already have and enjoy what we already have.

What's there to say? Indy Jones/Harrison Ford provide great tongue in cheek entertainment, just as 007/Sean Connery! What's not to like? Fun movie.
