Knowing that it had been 18 years since an Indy film, I lowered my expectations of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Remarkably, my expectations were still set way too high. Aside from the 2 to 3 decent one-liners, this movie only offered disappointment. I am not a harsh critic of movies but this disaster of a film and soiling of the Indiana Jones franchise must be addressed. The first fifteen minutes of the movie held my hopes for a while. Shortly after, my hopes for a great movie turned to hopes for some miracle to turn around the film; no miracle came. My fears were realized when the conclusion of the plot was reached in the last twenty minutes. I would NOT recommend this movie to anyone who is hoping for anything above a 3 stars out of 10, at best. I only paid $5 for this movie and I think I may have paid too much for this one. Definitely a renter.
