Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
PostedMay 26, 2008

This movie is pure escapist fun, perfect for a hot summer day. As long as you don't think too hard about it, the movie hangs together. There were three different stories going on at the same time, but not always weighted evenly. The adventure storyline was straight out of the genre the Indiana Jones franchise has been successfully portraying for the past 20 years, and the action/adventure level was certainly what we've come to expect from Spielburg and Lucas. The underlying commentary on the Cold War and the FBI vs. Commies mentality was pretty heavy-handed and not particularly focused. Then there was the long-running love/hate relationship with an old flame and the entanglements that relationship produced. The ending was non-committal on whether we will see another entry in this long-running movie series, though. I'm not sure that Shia LaBeouf is the right man for the job, but he did a credible job and kind of 'grew' into the role by the end of the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
