Jon K @RT89810061 May 24 What is this pish? We have the guy who switches sides when they require a plot shift, everything feels contrived. Little to enjoy here. See more Pascal H @Pasii May 21 The first half matches the energy, wit, and adventurous spirit of the original trilogy almost beat for beat. For a while, it feels like Indy never left. Then the second half arrives. The narrative loses its footing, momentum bleeds out, and the ending goes so far into the surreal that it stops feeling like an Indiana Jones film altogether. The Crystal Skull ranks as the weakest in the series. A mystery that deserved to stay mysterious. The finale should have faded to black long before it did. A film made 20+ years later somehow looks worse than its predecessors. The practical grit of the originals exposes every uncanny, weightless CGI shot for what it is: a reminder that 2000s visual effects have aged about as well as a milk.

This is one of those movies, kinda like Spider-Man 3, where you recognize how flawed the film is, and just how many issues it has, yet at the same time, it’s still very entertaining, and quite memorable in its own way. And honestly, besides the obvious things that are right in your face (Shia Labeouf swinging with the monkeys, the atomic bomb sequence, the bad cg aliens), I think it’s a film that holds up better than a lot of people give it credit for. Steven Spielberg is a great director, and he is able to create thrilling, exciting sequences in their own right, no matter how cg-ridden it may be. Now of course it doesn’t come close to living up to any of the first three, and is a lot more flawed than any one of them. There’s a strong argument to be made that it shouldn’t exist, for sure. But I think the fact that it does isn’t the worst thing in the world. So yeah, very mixed on this one. It’s okay.

See more Vince C @RT34940730 Apr 7 I've seen it three times and have yet to tire of it. Underrated. See more Vic D @vicdaviscpa Mar 7 A terrible continuation of a beloved franchise from my childhood. The story was predictable, trite, and overall a tremendous letdown. I do not understand how so many critics gave it a favorable review. See more Read all reviews
