Indy is back ladies and gentleman! Yes, Harrison Ford the 65 year old is back playing the lead in the latest of the Indiana Jones flick titled 'THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL".
I went for it last night, and i feel that Speilberg has picked up from where he left of 19 years ago. Slick direction; build up to a good adventure and the typical Indy ending - all for the good of archeology and a happy ending!
The Crystal Skull is set in 1957 at the height of the Cold War. Indy, joined by a young, rebellious man named Mutt, and trailed by the Soviets set out in search of a fabled crystal skull of Akator, which must be returned to the legendary El Dorado or city of Gold. On the way, of course our hero must deal with the nasty Soviet agents, man-eating ants (holy shit you have got to see the part where these ants like work together and rise up like a rope to ate one agent - was awesome!), and his (slightly annoying) ex-girlfriend Marion, whom he eventually falls for allll over again.
Personally, I quite liked the movie. Director Spielberg and co-writer and producer Lucas had to make Indy relevant to new fans and satisfy old ones. The first half was a great build up, but the end was very typical. The Crystal Skull is efficient entertainment but it isn't a summer blockbuster what people were expecting. I recommend that you see the film. If only for ol' times' sake! I Would give it 7 out of 10!
