Review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) by Markd — 25 May 2008
Whoa, talk about mixed reactions! Anyone giving this a 9 or 10 is clearly blinded by nostalgia and people giving this below 6 are probably fanboys overreacting because they expected too much. Just taken as an action movie this is enjoyable nonsense but yes, it's dissapointing when you compare it to the other movies in the franchise.
The appeal of the Indiana Jones movies is the way they were still exhilarating and involving even though they pushed the bounderies of believeability. This movie goes too far though. Several times I found myself thinking "that wouldn't happen" or "that's just silly".
When this happens you struggle to suspend your disbelief and the magics gone.
