18 years. Thats how long it has been, and ironically how old I was, when the lasy Indiana Jones movie came out. I have seen all 3 of the original movies opening day...and each time I was excited as a kid in a candy store about it, and was never let down.
This time was no exception.
A lot of people have udoubtedly seen "movie crtitics" reviews giving it either a very good or extremely terribad rating. I will go so far as to say this Indiana Jones film is exceptional. Placing Jones amidst all the Mcarthyism of the Cold War was a brilliant move. Brining back Marion Ravenwood and seeing the little high school "I still have a crush on you" antics between her and Indy was priceless. Shai LaBeouf being brought in as Indy's sidekick was a great move, adding the young element and breathing a new sort of life into the saga. Add a two timing partner, a gorgeous Russian scientist, and all the mythos surrounding Roswell N.M. and the whole alien coverup controversy and you have one heck of a ride.
It was great to see that despite that fact that special effects have gone leaps and bounds over what they were in the last film, they tried to do as much of it "old school" as possible, putting the actors in as much of the film as possible and leaving the effects to a minimum.
All in all, I would give "Crystal Skull" a 9 out of 10.....only because I thought "Last Crusade" was flawless.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
