Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull  

Posted by Amanda


Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia LeBouf
Rated: PG-13
Another installment of the famous Indian Jones. Well, it's obvious he's old now and they don't hide it...they actually make fun of it a bit! Many things come back to you as you watch this new movie...things from the other 3. You're sitting there watching and all of a sudden you think, "Oh, I wonder if they'll show... " and they do! It's really a creative twist on bringing all three movies together for one final hurrah, while at the same time having a whole new plot to mix in.
The crystal skull is said to have special powers over the brain...and the one who can gain that power can have power over the world. Can Indy help find his friend and break the powers that the crystal skull has over him? Full of action but also full of many things that leave you saying, "Okay, that's really soooo not possible!" or "There's no way anyone can really do that!"...so you know all along that it's all just make believe. It's not one of those movies that makes you think how cool the special effects are or lead you to feel like the person who just got whacked really got whacked! It's very blatantly obvious that it's a movie!
We were a bit disappointed in the language. The other Indiana movies didn't have quite as much language and it was mild when it was there. From out of nowhere, LeBouf shouts "BS!" which is really uncalled for...both in real life and in the script. There was no reason for it to be there. I just thought since so much of the movie was obviously goofy, they could have left out the language and really made it a family movie.
