I was afraid I might be wasting my time and money, so was glad that I ended up enjoying this flick as good summer action entertainment. Are there flaws? Yes. Could it have been better? Probably. But when all was said and done, the action and special effects ended up making it good enough for me to like it. Also, there was no actual gore shown - just a lot of implied casualties, so it retained a kind of comic book sensibility that makes it possible to watch violence that would be unwatchable if it was real.
Pros special effects, action, real navy ships
Cons plot details that did not make sense
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I loved this movie - I found it satisfying on a lot of levels. The actors did a good job of channeling their respective characters from the series but without being caricatures. The 'alternate reality' premise accounted for the changes to the background of the original stories while opening the door for new story lines. I had to suspend my disbelief about some of the weird science that didn't make sense (red matter!...?) but it wasn't that hard seeing as everything else was so darn fun. Not great cinema - but just a really good action flick. LOVED IT
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A fitting sequel to the series

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a perfect escapist action flick - you must banish thoughts of logic and suspend your disbelief to accept some of the action and plot twists. If you do you can give yourself over to a rollicking good time.
I especially like the return of Marian Ravenwood... and though Cate Blanchett plays an icy cold Communist villian, she is just not quite evil enough to me.
All in all, above average in the action department, acceptable in all other ways, and not an Oscar contender...... but who cares ? Indy's back !
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I enjoyed every aspect of this movie -the plot made sense, the characters were engaging, the action was exciting, the effects were impressive, the acting was fine - I read Ironman comics when I was a child... the movie is true to the concept of the story - if you like action films, GO SEE IT. Just don't drink a lot before, it's kind of long !
Yes, I recommend this movie.
