Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


After a very long time, another Indiana Jones film has come. Everyone thought that the Last Cruisade would be the last one. Well, here's the fourth.


This fourth installment of the series is more of a combination of quite a few legends, old and urban. Let's see; El Dorado, Area 51, Ancient civilizations (which is always the case)... You get the picture. The Nazis are no longer the antagonists considering that WWII is over. Now, the cold war. Vis a vis, Russians with their research on the paranormal as weapons (like the Nazis).

Ford still stars as Indiana Jones. It wouldn't be the same if it's not him. Shia LaBeouf, the Transformers lead man, also stars as Indiana's son. Yup, that's right, son. Kate Blanchett stars as the villainess.


The CGI of the movie is a wee bit overdone. I mean they could have at least made it look more "realistic" rather than CGI-looking. You know what I mean. But the puching sound effects sound like the old Indie films. Overall, the fans would love this new installment but I guess the geeks might not really like it. I mean they are so critical that they point out each and every detail that is out of place.


We'll see if there would be a fifth. Enjoy.
