Amazon.com 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

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
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull December 2, 2008 Jeremiah Thompson (Peebles, OH)
"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).
We loved this movie! December 2, 2008 nurseypoo5 (Keller, TX United State)
I'm so suprised to see so many here writing poor reviews for this film. Its Indiana Jones. What's not to love? Personally i HATED the 2nd Indy film, the kids being kidnapped/heart being pulled beating out of the guy, eating monkey brains nonsense, but this film was much more entertaining. I loved the idea of his son being a new character (i could see more of the series with this scenerio) It was full of action and nostalgia. My 12 yr old said he loved it more than the Dark Knight (tho i had a stupid grin on my face during that wonderful movie too) I have little to say in the way of a bad review, i do think the chase scene could have been better, but the ants were cool, I dont know, i thought it was great, like i said im suprised at the number of crybabies who were expecting something more than an action movie with the man in the hat and his whip..... It is what it is, pure fluff entertainment!
A Great Addition To The Indy Legacy December 2, 2008 Melanie J. Riley (Indy) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Loved it! Every bit as good as the first and third movies, and better than the second. Action, adventure, humor and a terrific mix of actors joining Indy and his fedora. I'll watch it again and again. A+++
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Single Disc) December 2, 2008 Stavros Boinodiris (Cary, NC)
A typical, entertaining Indiana Jones adventure, but without the full zing, coherence and cliffhanger story that previous ones had.
