Cons: None

Pros: Strong performances, funny script, good action
Cons: Lame ending, Mutt Williams, and no Nazis
Summary: The best compliment that I can say about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is that it “Feels” like an Indiana Jones. That sense of adventure that made the first three movies such a pleasure to watch has thankfully been preserved for ... read more

Pros: stunts, drama, dialogue, action, fight scenes, amazing lively technology and sound effects
Cons: none really
Summary: After seeing this sequel,I thought it had to be the best of the series, in my opinion. The stunts are very impressive while the car chases and motorcycle chases are so lively, you could feel as if you are right in them to keep you at the edge of your ... read more

Pros: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen...Indiana Jones is back!
Cons: A couple of silly moments; Area 51 theme may disappoint some.
Summary: Ok, even though apparently I am no longer a new member here at epinions, I'm still a little hesitant to write a review about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (hereafter referred to as IJ4) seeing as how there are already ... read more

Summary: I originally was going to write a review/editorial on the film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull after I saw the film opening night (22, May 2008). But I decided not to do so because I was having conflicting thoughts on the ... read more

Pros: Action-packed, quite funny, and the scenes with Harrison Ford and Karen Allen are great.
Cons: A little too much CGI, John Hurt is wasted in a thankless role.
Summary: Of all of the filmmakers in my life, only Steven Spielberg is the one who knows how to make great escapist fun, as well as some of the most serious movies I've ever seen as well. From Duel all the way to Munich, he has manged to entertain us and make us ... read more

Pros: Good to have Indy back. Smart to bring back Marion.
Cons: Lame, boring story. Bad CGI. No real humor or excitement.
Summary: Indiana Jones. You hear that name and what do you instinctively think of? The globe-trotting archaeologist in search of powerful artifacts that he needs to recover before the Nazis do (ala Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Last Crusade), or ... read more

Jun 22 '08
Pros: Great performance by Ford
Cons: Aliens & archeology don't mix
Summary: This is the much-anticipated Indiana Jones movie that people have waited for for nearly 20 years. While it's full of lots of action that we've come to associate with Indiana Jones, there's a sense of Indy and Marion from "Raiders" being dropped into ... read more

Pros: It's Indiana Jones! Why do you have to ask?
Cons: Yeah, right
Summary: Its been 19 years sine the last time the whip-totting man in the leather jacket and brown fedora last graced the silver screen. Its been even longer than that since the last time we saw Marion Ravenwood, Indy's love interest in Raiders of the Lost Ark. ... read more

Pros: Fast-moving adventure. CGI is well done. Most of the acting.
Cons: Plot is not developed enough.
Summary: If you enjoyed the earlier action-adventure Indiana Jones films, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, you'll find a lot to like while watching the fourth installment of this film series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The ... read more

Pros: Ford still has what it takes to bring a beloved hero into our hearts.
Cons: The supporting players were really miscast and the storyline was doomed from the start.
Summary: Warning!!! Spoilers!!! Read at your own risk!! I was so looking forward to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I mean I grew up with the Indy movies. I cheered when Indy defeated the Russians in Raiders of the Lost Ark; clapped when ... read more

Pros: action scenes, Harrison Ford,
Cons: not the best story in the series, some weak CGI moments
Summary: Its been so long since the last Indian Jones adventure had audiences flocking to the theaters, but somehow, seeing the name Indiana Jones on the marquee of cinemas this summer seems to make everything right with the world. I remember when Indiana Jones ... read more

Pros: Harrison Ford - we still love him
Cons: I don't have time to list them, and you don't have time to read them.
Summary: I think George Lucas forgot he wasn't creating another Star Wars sequel when he sat down to bring Indy Jones back to life. Come on. Nothing about the classic Indy was present in this new version of the search for artifacts and adventure - except ... read more

Pros: A couple good action sequences at the beginning
Cons: Bad acting, bad direction, terrible plot, lazy dialogue, and a nuclear fridge
Summary: Let me start by saying Indiana Jones is a staple of my childhood, like many of you who might be reading this review, but I've never been a so-called "fanboy." I enjoy all three movies, specifically the first and third, and I can appreciate "Temple of ... read more
