Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones, one of the few legendary characters created, comes back into action after long 10 years gap and with the same actor, Harrison Ford, playing the same role.

About the latest installment, if you were expecting something out of the world, then I would say you would be disappointed but if you are going to watch this film just to have a good time, then you will get its money's worth. Harrison Ford, playing the famous 'Indy' in the film, acts it with sheer class and after watching this movie, I would rate him one of the classic, unforgettable actors of this time period. Shia LeBouf, playing 'Mutt Williams', also plays an awesome role in the movie and playing next to Harrison Ford would have been quite difficult and along with starring in an 'Indiana Jones' film, it must be very difficult but he shows how good an actor he is in the film. The rest of the cast weren’t quite extraordinary like these two actors. The graphics also didn’t find much role in the film and it was quite surprising to see a well shot film without much Visual Effects.
On the whole I would rate it: 3.5/5

Well, you seem to be repeating your comment lines for most films!

Also, factual errors. The last Indiana Jones was release nearly 17 years before this one, and it took nearly 10 years to complete this one.

In comparison to other oldies, namely, Sylvester Stallone(Rambo 4) and Clint Eastwood(Million $ Baby), I think Ford has done a comparatively good job. Also, not to forget mentioning the quality of direction Spielberg has been maintaining!

The last Indiana Jones movie was released 10 years back but Harrison Ford was not acting in it. And since then all the screenplay's for the sequel were rejected by Spielberg that Harrison Ford himself told that if the movie didn't release by 2008, he would'nt be acting in it.

I disagree! The Indiana Jones franchises have only 4 parts and all of them have Harrison Ford as the lead role. The last one was released in 1989 and was called "The Last Crusade"

Where are you getting your facts from?

I kind of expected it to be kind of weak. It’s unfortunate that that seems to be the case. I would have liked a great addition to the Indy trilogy, but that is ok. My expectations arent very high for this film.

I also would just like to say that I wouldn’t call Iron Man a “homerun”…It was alright IMO. The suits looked great, and it had some pretty good CG, but overall it was just alright..

Firstly talking about Indiana Jones, yes the movie was'nt that great but the Harisson Ford's acting was a home run to me atleast.

Talking about Iron Man, I personally mention it in my favorites, but yea you are correct with the graphics were very realistic.

By the way .... please mention your names if you have a weird nickname
