This movie fits right in with the others in the Indy series. Lots of action, lots of historical tie-ins, and the inevitable ending where good triumphs over evil once again.
.
I would rate the four movies in this order, from my most to least favorite: Last Crusade, Raiders, Crystal Skull, and Temple Of Doom .
.
Cate Blanchett as a Ukranian KGB agent was wonderful. She can play anyone and make it look easy. Harrison Ford played a believable older Jones, still full of spit and vinegar but not quite as energetic as he used to be. I enjoyed seeing Karen Allen reprise her role as Indy's spunky love interest.
.
One has to suspend belief through 99% of this movie, not only regarding the supernatural power (and origin) of the skull, but in seeing people dodge machine gun fire, get run over, and plummet over waterfalls with nary a scratch. But that's what an Indiana Jones movie is all about -- a revival of, and nod to, the Movie Serial genre.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
