Indiana Jones...
PostedMay 23, 2008

from New Orleans
Ok, I was like any other 'red-blooded' American waiting for this movie to come out...and with that sort of build up and anticipation one tends to go into the movie with preconcieved ideas. I had watched a special on 'Crystal Skulls' prior to the movie for background sake, but did not attempt to 'figure it out'
Indiana (Harrison Ford) was GREAT and I believe could watch his movies (not Witness) over and over again. He pulls this off like no other could! I was saddened by the lack of Marcus Brody and Henry Jones Sr but we all must move on!
Mutt Williams (Shia LeBeouf) was also fantastic in this movie. His opening scene riding the classic Harley was very cool...almost James Dean'ish', but the fact of Shia playing a rough and tumble knife weilding 'greaser' from the 50's is a bit of a stretch. But overall, i thought he held his own alongside one of the best leading men in Hollywood.
Plot -- a bit thin in places but kept in touch with the "Indiana Jones' roots of one clue leading to another. I thought the opening scenes were good, but i will have to admit the finale was a bit lacking in my opinion... with all this buildup that is all they could come up with... I expect better out of Lucas and Speilberg.
Overall assesment of the movie... A totally and thoroughly enjoyable movie for the ENTIRE family, but falls short of Last Crusade!

Yes, I recommend this movie.
