Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The commercials for the soon-to-be-released DVD of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull movie brought back some painful memories and the fact that I hadn’t said anything about it when I saw this piece of crap in the theater. Whoops, does that count as a spoiler? Seriously, this movie was so bad. I admit there were some cool Indiana Jones moments, too few and far between but they were there, that brought back some of the excitement and emotion we all probably felt the first time we saw any one of the three earlier installments. Yes even Temple of Doom, which upon first viewings suffered horribly against Raiders of the Lost Ark, now seems a masterpiece when compared against this mishmash of bad ideas, horrible dialogue, lousy acting, outrageous ending, and even worse a never-ending series of “homages” to actual cinematic classics that just seems completely out of place in the pulp adventure world of Professor Jones. A word of advice: Buy the first three, call it a trilogy and try to wipe the fact of this fourth installment’s existence from your brain.
