Nearly 20 years after riding his last Crusade, Harrison Ford makes a welcome return as archaeologist/relic hunter Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an action-packed fourth installment that's, in a nutshell, less memorable than the first three but great nostalgia for fans of the series. Producer George Lucas and screenwriter David Koepp (War of the Worlds) set the film during the cold war, as the Soviets--replacing Nazis as Indy's villains of choice and led by a sword-wielding Cate Blanchett with black bob and sunglasses--are in pursuit of a crystal skull, which has mystical powers related to a city of gold. After escaping from them in a spectacular opening action sequence, Indy is coerced to head to Peru at the behest of a young greaser (Shia LaBeouf) whose friend--and Indy's colleague--Professor Oxley (John Hurt) has been captured for his knowledge of the skull's whereabouts. Whatever secrets the skull holds are tertiary; its reveal is the weakest part of the movie, as the CGI effects that inevitably accompany it feel jarring next to the boulder-rolling world of Indy audiences knew and loved. There's plenty of comedy, delightful stunts--ants play a deadly role here--and the return of Raiders love interest Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, once shrill but now softened, giving her ex-love bemused glances and eye-rolls as he huffs his way to save the day. Which brings us to Ford: bullwhip still in hand, he's a little creakier, a lot grayer, but still twice the action hero of anyone in film today. With all the anticipation and hype leading up to the film's release, perhaps no reunion is sweeter than that of Ford with the role that fits him as snugly as that fedora hat. --Ellen A. Kim

 Great Sequel January 10, 2009
Rodney C. Walmer (New York)
I do not understand many of the other reviewers. How can they be so cruel in their reviews. Anyone who expected "Raiders of The Lost Ark" here was going to be disappointed. This is a sequel not a remake. Many years have passed, so there will be major differences. However, we all came to see Indiana Jones, and we did. He has not changed at all. He is older, perhaps a little grayer, but still Indiana Jones. He gave us what we paid for, mindless entertainment. Personally, I found this move better then second movie (Temple of Doom), and on par with the third (Last Crusade). I do not feel disappointed in any way shape or form. Were there creative liberties taken, of course there were, just as there were in the first, second, and third movie. Anyone who expected to come to an Indiana Jones movie and not see the absurd is certainly living on another planet. This is a wonderful franchise, but, it's not real. This franchise takes place in an imaginary world, universe for that matter. I read where someone questioned the aliens. I am shocked that anyone might react that way. This movie is great. I am sooo happy they made a 4th one, and I hope they make a 5th and a 6th, so on and so fourth. It's just like Rocky, everyone wanted to hate Rocky 6, but the story was Rocky, and people loved it anyway. This is the same with "Crystal Skull" It's Indy all the way, get on board folks, let down the blinders, take a look at the forest and not just the tree's, you might realize this is a great movie.

This movie was one of the best Indiana Jones ones yet. I hope this isn't the last one. I have all the movies and can watch them over and over without getting bored.
