I'm going to pretend like that didn't happen
PostedMay 23, 2008

I give this movie two stars because it does what it sets out to do: portray Indy in the 50s.
But, George Lucas needs to get out of writing movies. The last three Star Wars and this monstrosity only further establish that Lucas's ideas have gotten really cheesy and cutesy. Part of the lure of the old Indy movies (with the exception of Temple of Doom) was the Biblical artifact fascination. WHO IN THE WORLD CARES ABOUT CRYSTAL SKULLS FROM ALIENS????? Why couldn't he pick Noah's Ark? Or, temple ruins under the Golden Dome?
Don't even get me started on Karen Allen. They didn't write her in the story very well, making her contribution look terrible. The whole "family" storyline was dumb.
Spielberg should have stuck to his guns and refused to shoot digitally. The whole thing looked too advanced for Indy and the picture didn't have the "warmth" of the old Indy movies.
Stupid ending.
I'm going to pretend like Last Crusade really was the Last Crusade. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull never happened
