Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
PostedMay 22, 2008

from Fort Worth, TX
Overall, UGH!! Extremely disappointing. Breaking it down: the storyline was off the wall; how many of us have heard of archaeological tales of "crystal skulls?" "The Arc of the Covenant" and "The Holy Grail," yes.
The scrip continuity was also ragged. Where was Indy and what was he looking for before he was kidnapped, for instance?
The actors did not look comfortable in their roles. There was no ebb and flow between them or warmth, as in previous movies. Too, there was no feeling of spark between Ford and Allen.
I have to applaud the return of Karen Allen, though. She is a good actress and wonderfully appealing as Marian. If I had been Indy, my heart would have leaped through my chest. But it seemed that she was window dressing with not much to do.
The special effects were outstanding. However, they should not have been the star of the movie. They should have enhanced it.
Can we please re-script this movie, have the actors almost improvise as they did in previous episodes (as in "Raiders"), re-shoot and re-release it .. please?
I am broken-hearted.
Peace!

No, I do not recommend this movie.
