Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Reviews and Ratings



  • November 22, 2009
    Crystal Skull is a decent sequel to the original series of Indiana Jones films. It doesn't hold a candle to them, but if you just sit back and watch (and put the whole aliens plot aside), it is a fun watch.

    It was nice to see Harrison Ford reprise his role as Indiana Jon...( read more)es, along with Karen Allen as Marion. Shia also did a nice job as Mutt Williams.

  • November 17, 2009
    While it's a very different movie than any of the previous Indiana Jones films, it is really enjoyable in its own way. As a new start of a trilogy, it definitely looks better. The great characters are still there, with Harrison Ford being as great as ever. While there were some b...( read more)izarre childish elements, they were minimal and didn't effect the overall opinion of the movie.

    shia lebeouf and harrison ford are amazing!
  • November 15, 2009

    Very cool. The old guy still has moves.
  • November 12, 2009
    Not quite up to the same standard as its predecessors, the Crystal Skull still brings the same adventurous romp that came with the other films. With some new characters as well as the return of some old ones, there are some great performances and characteristic Indy moments. Over...( read more)all, a fun movie and a great watch.

    Did u know Indiana was my first crush? I was like 4 years old when I first saw one of his movies, and I said to myself I've gotta get me and explorer/archeologist
  • November 12, 2009
    ford and that kid are good...
  • November 11, 2009
    The ending just ruins a perfectly cheesy film
  • November 11, 2009
    Great action as always, but didn't like the story behind it.
  • November 11, 2009
    Although it's an enjoyable adventure movie,it's possible that you won't remember it after a day or two...

    This is just my kind of movie....Adventure Action with a tint of humour. Though I dont prefer Harrison Ford as Dr. Jones...this movie was a good watch and never got...( read more) bored for a moment especially when this movie is from the maverick Steven Spielberg. The climax where the the rocks fall down and water gushes in to form a lake is just visually splendid and would love to see something like this in real.

    INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (2008)
    dir. Steven Spielberg
    cast. Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf

    «For an old guy, you ain't bad in a fight.»

    Indiana Jones is back, and already people are hating his return, while others love it. I

    ...( read more)m in between, not loving, not hating. I like the plot but it doesnt seem to suit an Indiana Jones movie. I like the stunts, which are actually extremely spectacular, but I didnt feel the excitement I should have, after 19 years of absence. Still, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a fun ride for what it is.

    The film begins and already I got the feeling I missed half an hour, thats no good. Indiana Jones was taken by the Russians - they are finally back, we havent seen them as villains in so long - he is supposed to help them find something which seems related to the events that occurred in Rosewell in the late 40's. Right away, anyone should understand the film has something to do with a possible alien artifact. Obviously, Jones gets away, and the Russians didnt get to find what they were looking for. Jones get fired as a teacher and plans to leave the country, until a young man ask for his help, to find his mother and a professor. Everything is related, in many ways, Jones goes down to South America, finds the artifact the Russians were looking for and has to run away from them before they use it wrongly.

    In some ways, this film is a logical follow-up to the last film, which was released in 1989. Its set in 1957, 19 years prior to that, WWII was about to begin and since the world has changed, the world has evolved. Thats one of the reason I feel it doesnt fit an Indiana Jones movie, but, it does make sense so I have no real reason to complain.

    Steven Spielberg said he wanted to shot his film on location rather than in front of blue screens, Im up for that. Unfortunately, there is still too much use of CGI in the film, even though, those special effects do look impressively great. There is a little too much self-awareness, with references to the previous films in the franchise and even other films by Spielberg himself, it almost became annoying.

    Harrison Ford is getting old, so is his character, and they didnt try to make him younger. Ford proves why he became such a huge star, playing Jones once again perfectly, without falling into the campy performance or trying to reinvent him, he is simply just great and a lot of fun. Cate Blanchett is great as the main villain, Shia LaBeouf is surprisingly not annoying as Mutt Williams - with a predictable destiny - but even if Karen Allen's return is welcome, she seems to have much more fun than what her character asks for.

    Filled with fun action, neat stunts and great visual effects, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a little bit disappointing. Maybe the hype was too big, maybe the wait was too long, maybe the film was simply not satisfying enough, or maybe everyone wanted it to be better than it could possibly be. Still, I didnt dislike it, I actually enjoyed it a lot despite its obvious flaws. It was well-shot, keeping the spirit of the previous films and the tone was just the same with some great humorous moments. The cast is having a blast, and that fun is contagious. I just cant say no more bad about this film. Ladies and gentlemen, Indiana Jones is back, and good news, John Williams's musical theme is still fun.

    ok..Shia LaBeouf and Cate Blanchett make this movie more interesting.
  • November 7, 2009
    Worst movie in the Indiana Jones series. Barely even watchable except for wanting to see how it all ends with Indy.
  • November 7, 2009
    Not as good as the original trilogy (1st and 3rd movies), but still fun to watch.
  • November 5, 2009
    Surprisingly good for a random 4th movie after 20 years.
  • November 3, 2009
    Bueno... la neta SI me gusto!
    Y que!

    Thankfully my parents weren't retards and didn't force this Spielberg nonsense onto an otherwise happy childhood, the Indiana Jones films being mostly unoriginal and insanely dull pieces of shit. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (horrible title) has literally nothing of value. Bad CG...( read more)I, action scenes and gags we've all seen before done better by smarter people. Harrison is such a boring actor and he literally sleepwalks through this shit, putting the equally comatose Shilo Lebeef as his rebel without a cause was equally stupid. Let's throw as many stupid references to the 50s as possible! The fact they settled on such an inane and infantile screenplay tells me George Lucas loves evacuating his bowels on the world and we sit there with our stupid mouths wide fucking open to accept every shitty peanut.

    I LOVE Indiana Jones!! This one was awesome!!
  • October 31, 2009
    I admit that i never see the series of Indiana Jones before. I saw it, and i knew it was surely great movie. No bad things and scenes seemed awkward for me. I just didn't like that it was a little kinda dissappointed cuz there was "alien things". I didn't expect that it was. But ...( read more)i was just fine. Very worth to see.
  • October 31, 2009
    This one is my first cinema movie..I gotta tell you..It's awesome
  • October 31, 2009
    The first 3 indinana jones movie pack so much promise and are milestones in adventire cinema. George Lucas and stephen speilberg team up again for the 4th installment in the series. I think the main problem with this movie is that it lacks authenticity, with the first 3 all the s...( read more)pecial affects were actual real things but this time most of the affects are computor generated this means that the stunts are more outraous and have a cheap tinge to them. Also the pacing is a bit off, unlike the first 3 which had it spot on. The story is ok but where this movie picks up is with the action scenes, as unrealistic as they are they are very fun. Overall it isnt as good as the classics but it?s a good try.
  • October 30, 2009
    A movie where Harrison Ford finds out that he has a SON and gains a WIFE.
  • October 29, 2009
    Indy is still cool. Even though Harrison have gone a little tired through the years.
    Definitely worth watching.
  • October 27, 2009
    What can you say....Never hurts to try on a classic series...
  • October 27, 2009
    its funny and adventorous like all indiana jones movies! I like the fact that he has a son now, and that Shia LaBeouf plays that role is very entertaining
  • October 27, 2009
    Worst in the series... only bright point was seeing Indie start to act like his dad
  • October 26, 2009
    time to retire the whip
  • October 26, 2009
    Great Movie. My favorite out of all them. It is out there, even on stunts. But then again, it is sci-fi. So whatever.
  • October 26, 2009
    biggest letdown in many many years
  • October 26, 2009

    Indy, please rest on your sofa at your age and don't try to save the world anymore. You're too old for that kind of mission.
