Indiana Jones (4) and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Review

Rewiewed by Reel Ninja’s Wife (RNW)

As I am surely one of the few movie goers of my generation (in North America at least) who has not seen the first three installments of the Indiana Jones films, I can only judge this movie on it’s own merits, therefore lacking any comparisons.

Harrison Ford in my opinion, did as he always does, ‘a decent job’. He’s not particularly a favourite of mine, but I suppose he does have a certain Cinderella fit for this role.

Shia LeBeouf on the other hand, was god awful from my perspective. Perhaps a little more time spent screening some ‘greasers’ from the fifties might have lent him a bit more depth to his arsenal for this performance. I just didn’t buy it, plain and simple.

Cate Blanchett - I love this woman! I often describe her as the quintessential movie chameleon. She is just fantastic in her work, and especially creepy in this role. The way that woman’s face speaks without any need for words is delightful to watch.

The storyline is imaginative and interesting enough to keep one entertained over a two hour period, even without the prior series background knowledgebase. To quote The Reel Ninja, “the special effects were f^#&ing amazing!”. I have to concur, the special effects were spectacular minus the scene with the ants, which was disgusting. I cringe even now
