Indiana Jones

My favorite of the Indiana Jones movies. This deals with the holy grail, and the relationship between a father and a son.

The worst of the Indiana Jones movies. This is a good movie, visually pleasing, but not as satisfying as the other two in the trillogy.

The second best Indiana Jones movie, thus far. I love the concept of the movie, and that he is a college professor. One of my favorite movies.

This is a must see.

Though the YOUNG INDIANA JONES movies are getting really tiresome, Sean Patrick Flanery continues to give great performances in them as the title character. I first saw Flanery on the short-lived UPN show THE STRIP and since them I've been renting every movie that he has been in. He's a really good actor and that is why it is such a shame to see him in movies like this. It's also a shame that George Lucas is producing this drivel.

This would have been great...if it wasnt supposed to be about Indiana Jones. I mean, it did NOT have that Indiana Jones feel. Like in the three movies. It left you thinking, "Nice war movie, but where the hell is Indy?" So, it's good, but don't go in expecting the fun excitement expected of an Indy movie.

seems to start out a little slow, but then it gets going toward the end. Spring Break adventure combines Indy's first adventure at home in NJ and then it starts off an entirely new adventure in Mexico with Pancho Villa. Remy is introduced for the first time, and Indy first learns what war is all about. All in all, I think it was a good movie to start out the older young Indy with Flannery.

First off, sound man Ben Burtt proves he can direct here. Attack of the Hawkmen is one of the most fun Young Indy episodes. As a bonus, if you are a Lucas fan, you may spot Threepio Anthony Daniels with a French accent in one scene, as Francois, where Indy is briefed in a big hurry by a couple of scientist types.

This film was very well done. Lots of attention to detail, entertaining, though often not very historically accurate (the facts were cleverly manipulated). I think the directors and producers went to a lot of trouble choosing the most convincing actors as possible (a good example is Marc Warren, who played Baron Manfred von Richthofen). Sean Patrick Flanery is also a very good actor, and I would recommend seeing the rest of the Young Indiana Jones series, as I feel it is very under-rated, considering the effort that got put into the making of it. I enjoyed this film a lot, and would recommend watching it, especially if you are a fan of Indiana Jones, WW1 aviation or the Red Baron.

The first half of this straight to video film (it's comprised of 2 episodes from the show) is filled with great humor, ancient treasures and all the swashbuckling action and adventure Indian Jones fans have come to love.

The second half of the film slows down considerably. As mentioned above, the film is actually 2 episodes from the show, and like most t.v. shows, many episodes have distinctly different feels from one another (E.R. for example may have a more light hearted episode occasionally, or one that focuses primarily on one character). Unfortunately, the two shows, while making sense to put them together makes as they are in sequential order, they don't match up very well in tone on style. While the first half is a lot of Indy style action, the second slows to an almost crawl. The first half many will prefer, but the second has it's own merit as well. The two just do not flow together very well.

Still a strong exciting and funny first half (Flanery really gets to do the Indiana Jones thing in this one!), and an interesting (if a bit too ponderous) second half still make up a strong if slightly disjointed finished product. A must see/own for Indy Jones fans, and worth if only to see the invaders fighting Indy on the Ocean liner! A sequence more than worthy in the Indiana Jones adventures!

It wasn't ALL bad -- actually, the sets and costuming were excellent (the 1920s - such an aesthetically pleasing time period!). And the bits of the actual movie "Foolish Wives" were good, because they had the authentic Erich in them. The most painful parts seemed to occur whenever the main characters had dialogue. Some of the lines exchanged between young Indiana Jones and the heroine made me want to retch. There are some actors whose delivery and skill can make a cheesy piece of dialogue work -- these two do not belong to this group. They were trying to be youthfully cutesy, and the results were not pretty. The heroine says things you'd never expect anyone to say in normal conversation, lines that sound clumsy and forced, especially out of her mouth -- she doesn't seem comfortable in her role.

Enjoyable hokum and a throwback to the days of Saturday morning serials at the local cinema. A young hero, evil baddies and a dastardly plot that must be foiled! If you like the old type Boys Own adventures, this will be lots of fun. Just don't expect all the nuances of today's modern film making. This is all action, seat of your pants stuff for almost 80 minutes.

I felt transported back to my youth and can recommend this series of films, some are better than others and others are worse, but they all have a sense of fun.

Also nice to spot all the faces from British television, one actor from long running UK soap, Coronation Street, plays a German World War 1 officer. Quite a change of pace!

A young Catherine Zeta Jones plays a Mati Hari spy before she went on to Hollywood blockbusters and marriage or vice versa....

As young Indy, Sean Patrick Flanery makes an engaging hero and like the rest of the cast in this, looks to be enjoying himself.

As a huge fan of the original Indiana Jones movies, I must admit that I did not take to liking the young Indiana Jones Chronicles when i first watched them. I saw them again for the first time since then around two years ago and i have been hooked ever since. I found these stories and tales of Jones as a young man fascinating and extremely enjoyable to behold. The way important characters in history such as Hemingway and even Al Capone are integrated into the plot as the young Indy finds himself in ever more exiting and elaborate situations should be enough to grab the attention of any self respecting Indy fan. Sean Pattrick Flannery did an amazing job as Indy and the many 'future stars' that played important roles in the ever changing plots showed the strength and distinction of these pieces of genius. I was saddened to find out that these mini-films were made over a decade ago and prey that some day, Harrison Ford and Sean Pattrick Flannery may be brought together again (as they did in the Chicago episode) and have another go at yet another piece of the Jones saga, before yet another unfamiliar actor is brought upon to don the cowboy hat once again. LONG LIVE INDY!!!
