Review of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) by Brad G — 20 Sep 2012
In a lot of ways, The Last Crusade is a basic remake of Raiders with the return of Nazi antagonists and the holy relic but the addition of Sean Connery's proud pappa manages to enrich the character of Dr.
Jones with his "Don't Blaspheme" lectures and "Army of Darkness" speeches. I do find the buffoonery of Marcus Brody a touch disappointing as Denholm Elliot deserved a better path than comic relief and the prequel opening represents all that is wrong with George Lucas' brain -- Look! In One Afternoon we see how Indy got the hat, the whip, the scar, and his fear of snakes! Lame.
