Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull : 4 of 5

We saw the latest Indy movie over the long weekend and I was totally blown away! I wasn’t expecting the movie to be very good, since the reviews have been so-so, but I was so into it the whole way through, and had a huge smile on my face the entire time. The overall tone of the movie is exactly like the previous movies, and I felt that same Indy magic. The music was great, the action was excellent and the story was fun! I don’t see a lot of movies these days, so maybe I am living in the past, but I totally loved this movie. Sure, Indy is getting old, but they did have a lot of fun with it and didn’t try to mask it or anything. Oh, the special effects were so amazing too. The water effects at the end were flawless. But to me, the old-fashioned action sequences were just the best. It’s hard to beat an good Indy chase scene, and this film has plenty of them!
