What happened?
I grew up watching all of the Indiana Jones films and loving them. Of course i was extremely excited to see this new film. Upon watching it I found myself extremely mad and disappointed. There was too much CGI and the plot was more ridiculous than any other film before it. As for content, I personally found nothing in here that a 10 year old wouldnt mind watching. overall its very mild and vanilla plain. In my mind this movie never happened and will never be on my shelf of films.

Should have been PG.
Not the best Indiana Jones movie but it's fine.

Great.
The second-best movie in the series. One of the few good action movies that appears in the theatres these days.

More of a Guys' Movie Than Anything Else With a Stupid Ending!
I thought personally that the ending was stupid and made absolutely no sense, and my daughter watch it when she was about 10 and liked the action but hated the deaths of the guy who gets consumed by the red ants and the lady with the guy who get crushed by a mill! (You can hear their bones crunch and screaming!) My daughter is pretty mature when it comes to violence but she just had to look away for those tragic deaths! In my opinion I think it is more of a guys movie than a girls' night out! :D

The least violent Indy film, yet it's PG-13.

Go ahead and let the family watch this one.
What can I say? It's classic Indiana Jones. Our entire family watched it and had a blast. Complete with silly one liners, predictable jokes and lots of action...how can you not love this movie? This one is (as always) visually appealing with an interesting story line. And you know what? Harrison Ford is still handsome :0)

I think this was by far the worst of the series, the story line was just ridiculous. My husband and I screened this for our 5 year old who was dying to see it (He'll be dying to see it for another 7 or so years) Though I didn't care for the plot myself, the level of scary moments seemed greater in this than most of the others put together. Just doesn't seem like entertainment for a younger crowd.

Indiana Jones meets Hogan's Heros
My 10 year old son and I watched it and really enjoyed it. Not too scary. Not too sexy. Good special effects. Stereotypes and caricatures as in each movie in the series. Fun.

Last hour ruins the whole trip
It was an amazing and one of the best movies until the last hour packed with stupid scenes and horrible ending.

Average overhyped blockbuster
I didn't expect much going to see the move and got nothing out of it leaving the movie. The plot is really poor if you think about it I mean Indiana Jones shouldn't be about some aliens. The only reason I gave the movie three stars was because some actions scenes were very fun to watch and it made a poor plot into an okay movie. But still not up to par with any other Indiana ones movies.

Fun Adventure
Very exciting movie, especially for boys. Less violent than previous Indy films and introduces young character that children can cheer for. Ants were a bit disturbing. Several deaths but no gore.

Skip It If you Can
I have an 8yr old boy, who enjoyed Raiders & The Last Crusade. He really liked the action and special effects of Crystal Skull. However, the plot is narrated by Ford, giving away the upcoming events in the movie. Crystal Skull lacked intrigue/suspense of other films in the Indy Series. Lame and scarey (nuclear bombs,lots of warfare/guns, paranormal, and aliens). Ford is a great actor, who got sucked into this commercial toilet bowl of a story. I can see Universal Studios Orlando designing a water ride around the movie theme..."duck" boats, aliens and 3 drops! Kids may like the movie, parents will be bored.

talk to your kids about what the soviet union is.
Much of this movie has to do with the soviet union, explain to them what "i like ike!" is otherwise they might make a fool of themselves laughing at what they think is a pun. But this is a wonderful movie for all ages 10 and up!

Pretty corny
We got free sneak preview tickets to see this and were so excited! The movie was actually pretty cheesy though. The acting was simply not good and the concept of the aliens...just didn't work. It isn't terrible, and it certainly has some fun/funny spots, but it was just not what we had hoped for.
