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.
