Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [use spoiler tags, please]

[innerSpaceman]

I don't know what about any of the Raiders sequels led anyone to expect anything more realistic than a Road Runner Cartoon.


Go to the film with expectations of live-action Wiley Coyote and ACME products, and you'll be fine.


If you want reasonably realistic, gritty and fantasticly conceived, performed, directed and realized Indiana Jones ... pop in Raiders of the Lost Ark. This new one is no more an equal to that classic movie milestone than either Temple of Doom or The Last Crusade, but it's also no worse than either of those widely-accepted Indiana Jones adventures.

Sheesh.




I can't be a wholehearted defender of Crystal Skull. It's got a laundry list of problems, and a plethora of charms.
