Waiting for Indiana Jones 4 was like waiting at a store for your favorite star wars toy or waiting for the world’s best supercar to be unveiled. Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was worth the wait for a fan such as me. Before going to the cinema’s I had watched all three of its prequels to get the feeling back of having Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones back. After exiting the cinema I was humming the theme, a friend of mine gave me a smirk when he heard me and I was like, “what?” Kingdom of the Crystal Skull continues about 20 years after the incidents of The Last Crusade. He is faced with a search to find a crystal skull that promises great power to the person who returns it to its rightful place. Joining the cast is Shia LaBeouf (transformers) and Karen Allen (Marion from Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark). There are quite a few linkups that are done with this movie and its last installment (in spoilers). Even though Harrison ford is old (and looks fragile) he still has the stamina to do most of his stunts. At the age of 66, it’s still a sight to see Indiana Jones and having his whip fly around.
The movie is based on a theme that has been in talks by us for a long time, but I guess Lucas was able to handle the theme with ease (of course you have Spielberg there). The cast were new but they did hold up in the expectation. Unlike the older ones that had a recurring sole of Salah, Brody or Hendry Jones Senior, who are missing and it is felt in the movie who were there to make the mood a little lighter. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shows in a scene Indiana looking at his father’s picture (Connery) and Brody (Elliott). Even though I enjoyed the movie a lot but it did not surpass the feel that Lost Ark had or Last Crusade had and with all the bloopers going around on the internet I feel that someone made little messes along the way while editing.
All in all I would rate this movie a 8.5/10.
Spoiler Alert !!!!
The movie starts off with German soldiers hauling out a hat and two men from the boot of a car. Only the hat is shown and some one walks up to the hat and up its on (only shadow), it’s Indy. Russians want to locate a crate that Indy had helped put in the storage shown in the end of Last Crusade. The crate contains something highly magnetic. Indy finds it by the use of gun powder and the contents of a bullet. When uncovered it showed an alien that has been frozen and in the crate. Indy escapes the Russians, with the theme in the background, by locking himself in a fridge in an area located for nuclear testing.
Basically the movie is based on a theme of aliens. The mysterious crystal skull that indy has to find is the skull of an alien head that was removed (surgically by FBI it seems) and it was lost for sometime. Shia is the one that asks Indy to go and look for the professor and his mum (Karen Allen).
Indy sets off after the trail left by the professor, he does find the professor and Karen. A few minutes later it is discovered that Shia is Indy’s son, Hendry Jones the third (that scene cracked me up). The adventure ends with Indy returning the skull and an alien space craft vanishing into think air. Indy addresses Shia LaBeouf as Junior (being Hendry Jones the 3rd) like his father used to do, then there is the end when Shia LaBeouf picks up the hat of indy and is in the process of wearing it, Ford snatches it off his hands. It was like saying “Its not your time right now ... Junior”.
