Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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

Indy 4, 18 years or so in the making and was it worth it? Of course it was!! Indy is back. This film does exactly what it says on the box; it gives you an Indiana Jones movie with Russians instead of Germans. Now this aint perfect, no its not, but its still a mile better than most movies of this style.

I have recently re-watched the film on DVD and found myself enthralled right upto the end- well, before the aliens phone home!! Indy 4 is a superb movie that has allowed for the time difference ... Read More

Rating: - If you have so far missed seeing this...
...my advice is for you to continue to do so. This really is the most amazing piffle. I watched only out of nostalgia for the three previous, equally pifflish but somehow much more fun, incarnations. The plot? WHAT plot??? The acting? Totally hammish, none more so than Cate Blanchett's villain.

It gets two stars rather than one, only for the marvellous visual effects and the equally marvellous reincarnation of the 1950s, clothing styles, cars, etc.

Rating: - A lot of fun to be had!
I watched it twice at the cinema and just saw it a third time on DVD. The first time was a bit disappointing, the second time it was good with expectation more realistic and a third time it was very good. The first three were great and the fourth is a bit different but it's not nearly as a bad as some people say. The gophers, the silly tarzan bit and Karen Allen's hammy acting are all very forgiveable. The old ones had their silly and hammy bits too. The only bit I properly dislike is the full on sci-fi, Close ... Read More

Rating: - A LITTLE CONFUSED
The latest Indiana Jones film was very tongue in cheek and and while the film had the usual banter and repartee of its predecessors I thought that like many older people the film was a little confused.

I got the impression that I was watching Indiana Jones one moment and then someone had changed channels and I was watching an episode from the X Files and expected to see Mulder and Scully popping out from the undergrowth in search of extra terrestials the next. Since extra terrestials were in the movie ... Read More

Rating: - A big shame
After a wait of almost 20 years the fourth Indiana Jones installment finally arrives and has an awful lot to live up to. But with a script thats been in the making for almost 10 years, the film was bound to be a success. So why was it such a dissapointment for the true Indy fans?
A few of my friends really enjoyed this film. When I did the research I found out that all of them had never seen the original films. Case closed. So what we have hear is a decent enough stand alone film that should not under any ... Read More
