Amazon.co.uk Review
Nearly 20 years after riding his last Crusade, Harrison Ford makes a welcome return as archaeologist/relic hunter Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an action-packed fourth installment that's, in a nutshell, less memorable than the first three but great nostalgia for fans of the series. Producer George Lucas and screenwriter David Koepp (War of the Worlds) set the film during the cold war, as the Soviets--replacing Nazis as Indy's villains of choice and led by a sword-wielding Cate Blanchett with black bob and sunglasses--are in pursuit of a crystal skull, which has mystical powers related to a city of gold. After escaping from them in a spectacular opening action sequence, Indy is coerced to head to Peru at the behest of a young greaser (Shia LaBeouf) whose friend--and Indy's colleague--Professor Oxley (John Hurt) has been captured for his knowledge of the skull's whereabouts. Whatever secrets the skull holds are tertiary; its reveal is the weakest part of the movie, as the CGI effects that inevitably accompany it feel jarring next to the boulder-rolling world of Indy audiences knew and loved. There's plenty of comedy, delightful stunts--ants play a deadly role here--and the return of Raiders love interest Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, once shrill but now softened, giving her ex-love bemused glances and eye-rolls as he huffs his way to save the day. Which brings us to Ford: bullwhip still in hand, he's a little creakier, a lot grayer, but still twice the action hero of anyone in film today. With all the anticipation and hype leading up to the film's release, perhaps no reunion is sweeter than that of Ford with the role that fits him as snugly as that fedora hat. --Ellen A. Kim

4.0 out of 5 stars DR JONES & PROFESSOR SPEILBERG - ONE LAST TIME ..., 25 Jul 2008

By	Mr. Christopher J. Welch "hippymusicman" (Lincolnshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The decision to resurrect the Indiana Jones franchise after 18 years was a brave one. Could Harrison Ford (64) still pull off the swagger, athletic action and smart one liners that made Indy such a sensation all those years ago ? Did Speilberg still have the nous to direct a full on pop corn action film with brains ?
Well if you ignore the use of ropey CGI and the ridiculous last 15 minutes (when the film literally falls apart) the answer is a resounding yes. The Crystal Skull of the title may be a weak prize for Dr Jones to seek but how he gets there is great fun - man eating ants, nuclear explosions, bad sword weilding Russians and some spectacular chases - it's all thrown at Indy who handles it all with aplomb. Ford plays on his age and gives us the grumpy, cynical and world weary Indiana Jones you'd expect from a man just about old enough to collect his bus pass.
Speilberg's latest prodical son, Shia Labeouf, plays a young greaser who may, or may not be Indy's son and Marion Ravewood returns from Raiders in a nicely pitched and spunky performance.
It's hard to be completely positive about Indy 4 though - simply because the first three films were so great, and there are moments in this movie when you feel that Speilberg and his cast are cruising on past glories. The aforementioned dodgy CGI also grates and there are many, decidedly underdeveloped, characters. A tighter script and a shorter running time (it's the first IJ film that feels too long) and Crystal Skull could have stolen the Summer. As it is it lost out to Batman and Hellboy. Shame.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raiders Of The Lost Franchise, 1 Feb 2009

By	G. R. Donaldson (Great Britain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Watching Indiana Jones 4 made me realise how good the earlier films were. Whilst not as good I really dont think its as bad as many reviewers are making out. If Francis Ford Coppolla was to make Godfather 4 would it be as good as the first two ?, probably not. I thought it was great seeing Harrison Ford put on that hat and get on with another yarn. The dvd looks stunning and some scenes notably the motorcycle sequence look superb. I also like the way the said hat was tipped to the original films,the statue of Marcus Brodie and a peek at the Ark of the covenant. Whilst he may be in his sixties Mr Ford seems to be as well preserved as some of his antiquities. The story may have more holes than a string vest but its still a rollicking good action film with a few laughs thrown in. I looked on it as Indiana saying Adieu.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not As Bad As I Thought It'd Be, 23 Nov 2008

By	M. L. Stephens "mls88" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To be honest, this film wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It is by no means a classic when compared to the original three movies, but, still an enjoyable ride none the less. I thought that the films biggest problem was the use of way too much CGI, so much so that some of the main action sequences suffered a great deal from it. I know many others considered the theme of aliens in the film as too ridiculous, but personally I wasn't too bothered by it. Indiana Jones is a fantasy adventure film and the plot was just that, fantasy. I can safely say that despite Harrison Ford being 66 years old, he can still pull off the part perfectly.
All in all, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an enjoyable entry to the series but fails to match the brilliance of the original three films. With a stronger script and less CGI it could of been much more.
