Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (PG-13, 2008)

I liked this movie. It wasn't as good as all the other indy movies but it was still pretty good. There were just some frightening scenes like one part were a bad guy gets eaten by ants

I think it was not as good as the first Indiana Jones and it was also way more gory and less interesting. It was more about aliens than archeology.

Ok, I personally believe this movie seriously RUINED the Indiana Jones series. First of all, the character of Mac was just cooked up in this movie and yet he is played out like Indy's best buddy since like childhood or something, and he evidently can't make up his mind whether he wants to be good or not, which gets slightly tedious after the first half hour. And of course, ALIENS??? WTH?? I mean, if you want to put aliens in a Spielberg flick make another Close Encounters of the Third Kind!! Seriously disappointed. Good for younger kids, though.

Not the best Indiana Jones movie but it's fine.

a good popular action movie

The whip. The hat. The theme music. That same old adventuring archaeologist. All these elements make up the Indiana Jones franchise. Starting in 1981, these movies have become a part of everday movie talk, and they have made Harrison Ford a star actor (along w/ his role in Star Wars). Now, we have a new installment: Indiana Jones and the Kingdome of the Crystal Skull. The storyline is quite the same: Indy travels to find a mysterious cyrstal skull to bring back to a sacred temple. Along the way, he meets rebel Mutt (brilliantly played by rising star Shia LeBouf), eccentric teacher Harold Oxly (who has been possesed by the strange skull). As with most Jones' flicks, there are twists and turns, suprises, and excitement. In fact, this could have been one of the best Indiana Jones movies, but the ending puts it slightly above Temple of Doom. I won't give it away, but it involves aliens, which is quite stupid in my opinion. Leave it to Steven Speilberg to make an ending like that. Despite this grumble, I have some content issues to point out. For a movie set in the 1950s, there is quite a bit of swearing, including a handful of racial slurs, a few s-words, and the occasional godd**m. Other than the cussing, there is some mild sexual innuendo, lots and lots of shootings and beatings, and some drug use. Overall, this Indy installment is OK for preteens and up.

I REALLY don't like this movie. In my opinion this is not as bad as the past movies. You must show you kids the past movies first so they can get a understanding of what Indiana Jones really is. Raiders of the lost ark is my favorite movie, you should show them that 1st, than the 3rd, than the 2nd, than the 4th.

My rating: PG [borderline with PG-13] for some intense and scary sequences/images of adventure violence, and for frequent language.
