This weekend we went and checked out a movie that I was very much anticipating… Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I have to say when I first heard they were making another Indiana Jones, I was not very excited. I mean the last movie was called “The Last Crusade” and I thought they really didn’t need to make another. However, as I waited, I got more excited and eventually was very much looking forward to seeing it. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been.

Now that’s not to say that the movie was bad, it wasn’t. While I didn’t care for the alien beings plot line, I did like the plot’s twists, the family drama and the action. Harrison Ford was still good as Indy and they did a good job of making you believe he was doing the stunts. The action was on point as ever, especially the race scene. It’s just that I didn’t feel this movie was needed. I’ve always felt that the third movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the best movie of the bunch and was a fitting swan song and I think that this latest movie was not nearly as good. I also did not like the insinuation that the series could continue with Shia LaBeouf as Indy. I don’t know… I say go see it, but don’t get your hopes up. 3 out of 5 stars.
