The Buzz:

Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is back, looking much older than in the Last Crusade. Set in 1957, he is forced to lead the Soviet Union and their boss, Col. Dr. Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett) to find a crystal skull that is said to magical properties.

On the way, he meets a young man called Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf) who looks like he just stepped out of the musical Grease, and an old flame, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen). Not only that, he discovers his friend Mac (Ray Winstone) may not be such a good friend after all.

This film was great, especially the effects – an obvious factor in such an action-packed movie – but the ending was not as good as I expected, so some people may be a bit disappointed with the result, while others may be die-hard Indy fans so they may have other opinions!


The Rating:

I give this film 4 STARS
