The Good: This movie is basically pure entertainment. Harrison Ford is more fun than he has been in years, and Shia LaBeouf proves yet again he can play a charming-if-annoying teenager with ease. Between the trademark comedy/action combo and an appropriately far-fetched story, Indy 4 is exactly what you'd expect.
The Bad: That being said, it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. While I wouldn't call it stale, it just doesn't have the impact that Raiders or The Last Crusade do.
The Ugly: The CG groundhogs really suck.
Points Pondered
- I think a crystal skeleton would make an awesome addition to any living room. This would TOTALLY fit in with my mannequin in front of the window idea!!
- Now Indy has survived ridiculous things in the past, but in this movie he goes over three large waterfalls and gets blown up by an atom bomb with nary a scratch. My suspension of disbelief can only stretch so far.
- Is this movie implying that Shia LaBeouf will be the next Brando? I really can't wait to see him all fat and bald in his remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau.
- For the Record: Raiders > Last Crusade > Crystal Skull > Temple of Doom
