Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


In 1957, intrepid archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is on the verge of losing his job at a prestigious university thanks to some questionable activities he's undertaken recently. He then meets up with a young rebel named Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) who asks Indy to go on another grand adventure: recover a legendary skull made out of crystal which allegedly will allow its owner to rule the world. Traveling down to Peru to an ancient lost city, Indy and Mutt must dodge an evil Russian agent, Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), who is after the same object.
I learned 2 things while watching the 4th installment of the Indiana Jones series. 1) Nazis are better villains than Russians. 2) Religious artifacts are much more interesting than spacemen and flying saucers. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was disappointing. Jamie says "3".

You have no idea how disipointed I was when I saw this film. This was my first Indiana Jones movie I ever saw in theatres, and it was...disipointing. The first 20 minutes was awsome. It was true Indiana Jones action. He was running from bullets and whip lashing all over the place. But as soon as he survived a nuclear explosion using a fridge, the fun was over. There were other fun parts like Indy and Mutt being chased through the Campus, and the jungle fight (Aleast until Mutt started swinging with monkeys). But the whole alien thing was pretty stupid. Better luck next time!!
