INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

MY VIEW:

Many told me not to waste my money on this movie. Glad I didn't listen to them! If you are an INDY fan or have at least seen the last 3 Indy movies, I don't think you'll be bored with movie #4. There was plenty of action in the movie, some a bit unbelieveable but I mostly credit that to Spielbergs awesome imagination

Cate Blanchett: played her role very well. Indy didn't care for her to well as she was played the rold of a Soviet Villianess, trying to play "Mind Games" if you will with Indy to try and get him to do as she tells him. Thinking she could read Indy's mind and would be able to have control over him. Then soon they the Soviets could control the world. I found the movie entertaining. I laughed once again at the one liners that Indy throws about. The hat nor the whip were forgotten in this movie. It was true to Indy character but I could see in this movie that maybe Harrison Ford was growing a bit aged and doing all the stunts he used to do didn't happen much for him this movie. Well...reality is, HE IS AGING!! I think younger audiences will enjoy this movie who like stunts and action!! BUT watch out for those human eating ants in the AMAZON!!

"This episode may mark the end of the line for Mr. Ford in the title role even though he still performs stunts in a most impressive fashion. But young Shia Labeouf-- who shows up looking like the young Marlon Brando --appears ready to take over the franchise. And it was good to see Karen Allen again in her role as Indy's long lost girlfriend even though her part was definitely underwritten.
As for Spielberg himself, who knows? You'll notice echoes of many of his most famous movies in this one. But I doubt that's a sign that he's running out of creative energy". (by:Terry Hunter)
