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

Customer rating:
… hope that George Lucas, in his infinite wisdom, when assembling this film, will not make the same MISTAKE that he made with the Star Wars prequel films and say, “Hey, why don’t we take some of John Williams’ old, unrelated music from the OTHER films, and mix this in?”
As a diehard Williams fan, nothing was more irritating than watching “Revenge of the Sith” and seeing Yoda battle Palpatine, accompanied by COPIED music taken from Empire Strikes Back!
Now is Lucas going to do the same devious trick with “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”? Oh how I hope not, but I don’t think Lucas is beyond doing this. “Hmmm, maybe we can just reuse some of the ‘Nazi submarine’ theme in the new film…”
Honestly, what was the deal with Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith? Did anyone else other than me notice the grotesque reuse of music? Is it going to be the same thing with Indy 4?
I sure hope not. On the slim chance that Lucas reads early speculative film reviews on Amazon (hahahahahahaha) I’m hear to say: George Lucas, PLEASE do not edit John Williams music from Indiana Jones 4! Leave it all in the film exaclty the way he and the LSO seem fit to perform it! We do not need to hear the same music cut-n-pasted from a different, unrelated Indiana Jones films. Do John Williams’ fans around the world a huge favor and put a leash on your music and sound editors.

this will no doubt be a great set on blu-ray but shouldn’t they wait until the 4th Indy Jones comes out?

HARRISON FORD BY THE AGE THAT HE IS, HE IS STILL MAKING EXCELLENT MOVIES, AND REMEMBER THAT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ACTOR OF INDIANA JONES. I DO NOT THINK THAT THERE COULD BE A REPLACEMENT FOR HARRISON FORD. THIS LAST MOVIE OF INDIANA JONES IS THE BEST TO WATCH AGAIN AND AGAIN.
I program on putting up this piece of writing all more than the web. Have to I give any credit/references back to you?
