Finally! After 19 years, the 4th movie to the franchise has been added. Indiana Jones is back in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystall Skull, donning a dark brown leather jacket, whip, and the famous ol' Indy hat that never leaves his side. This time round, it's not the Nazis anymore who are chasing him, it's the Russians. They are interested in a real-life artifact, the Incan crystal skulls. It is said that the skulls possess great powers, and made by aliens.
Firstly, I've been waiting this movie for quite some time after they announced that they're going to film a 4th Indy movie, so watching it has been a exciting time for me. The movie still has the Indy effect like when watching the previous films, but not as much sadly. I guess when u combine CGI and Indy, it doesn't match up so much, maybe a 80% compatibility.
Secondly, I'm very impressed by the way Harrison Ford retains his character as Indy. It is as though the hero never ages throughout the 19 years. Well, maybe he looks older, but once he dons the archeology suit, he looks as young as before. It is interesting also to see Marion Ravenwood from the 1st film with their son, Shia Lebouf as Mutt Williams, whom he never knew. Shia kicks ass this time, and not running around as in Transformers.
I'm glad I watched this movie, because I grew up watching Indy movies. It fills my satisfaction completely. I would definitely recommend it.
Rating: 4/5
