While it's considered the worst Indiana Jones movie there was a lot of competition as the original three where all amazing movies. Do I agree, we'll see.Good things The motorcycle chase- classic Indy action at its finest. It wasn't over the top and never felt cartoony The Warehouse fight- more classic Indy action with cars, guns and hand to hand combats. While it does have some corny sequences and deaths with that rocket thing, it was a great way to start the movie The Cafe- it manages to be suspenseful and funny in the short time we're there. The build up to the eventual motorcycle chase was handled perfectly and the actual fight inside, while short got a laugh. Harrison Ford/Indiana Jones- he still got it. He felt just as energized and fun as the original three and was great to watch Mutt- the idea of a rebellious teen having to work along side Indy was an interesting choice and it was fun to watch him bounce of Indy. While he won't work as a way to hand the Torch, I'm glad he was here Irina Spalko- as the main villain of the movie, she was arguably the most fun to watch. She felt like the best fit for the movie, as someone like Belloq or Donovan wouldn't work for the plot with all the communism and a Mola Ram type villain had no place. She is arguably the most efficient villain in the serious being the only one to make Indy unconsciously help her without help of voodoo (Mola Ram). And she knows how to sword fight. Always a plus. The sets- the sets in this movie looks gorgeous and real. They did a good job with them The temple itself- while the last third of the movie is weaker then the first parts, there is still the scenes in the temple, at least the first half of them. The Pilar's were amazing to see, the stairs going into the wall was heart pounding, the door opening was cool and lastly the throne room looked great. Ants- while the worst creepy crawly out of the four, it is the most deadly. The story- I always wanted Indy to find a Lost city in South America and the thing about aliens coming and having the people build a city out of pure gold works on a historical level as there are many story's of this sort of thing happening. The quicksand pit- it was funny. Nothing elseMeh stuff The marriage- boring but an ok ending for the plot they were going for. Oxley- he was ok I guess. Nothing really special The cemetery scenes- its entertaining and boring all at once. How do you do that The soundtrack- it was a mixed bag, with some great tracks and some mediocre at bestBad stuff Marion- Why is she back. Come on it should just have been a cameo. She was just smiling and laughing the whole time, there was just no tension in the scenes with her. The tree bending- ?????? The main ending- bad CGI aliens and UFOs coming out of the ground and macs confusing death and Spalkos what happened to her death and knowledge being the treasure and water blasting everyone out made this the worst ending in the series Monkeys- No point to be here and looks bad Nuke the fridge- everyone's already trashed this so moving on The scenes in Indy's house- BORING Communist side plot- it was so unimportant it makes you wonder why it was even includedConclusion So yeah, I think it is the worst in the series like they majority of people, but it is still a good movie. While it's there more bad things then the other movies, there were many good things too. It certainly was a fun time and a worthy entry into the legandary series 7/10If I missed anything I felt it wasn't important enough for me to include

I was extremely excited to hear about this film, as The Indiana Jones series had been such a massive part of my childhood, and then I went to the theatre to see it.........Well, first of all Indy just is getting on isn't he? Harrison Ford is no longer quite as swashbuckling as we remember, and although it's good to know the best of us all get old eventually, it was a tad disconcerting to see him in such a way.As for the film itself, the plot was a bit harder to swallow than previous Indy films, as most of them had a degree of reality to them, so the suspension of disbelief was not so hard to come by, but this one might have pushed the limits a wee bit too far for me personally.There were some terrific action sequences, some amazing effects and scenes, but to try and compare this film to the other three in the series, it just doesn't hold up! Thanks for reading!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***In the last 18 months we have been exposed to Re-treads at the box office. Old actors reprising old roles in new movies. We have had Rocky 6(a.k.a. Rocky Balboa), Die Hard 4(a.k.a. Live Free or Die Hard)Rambo 4 (a.k.a. RAMBO) and now Indiana Jones 4 (a.k.a Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls).It comes without say, that Indiana Jones 4 was the one of these 4 re-tread movies I had the highest expectations for, and Rambo 4 was the one that I had the least expectations for. - And Boy did I ever get it backwards.Rambo 4 was an action packed no holds barred thrill ride, with a great story. Full of Brutal action, great plot, all too realist battles scenes, and believable realistic characters.Harrison Ford wasn't as lucky as Sylvester Stallone, despite the fact that he had Steven Spielberg and George Lucas both in his corner and pulling all of the strings. Indiana Jones 4 was awful. I loved the original 3 movies with a passion and consider them among the greatest movies of all time. How could the dream team of Speilber, Lucas and Ford make a Indiana Jones movie that was actually bad. It doesn't seem fathomable - but they did.In this re-tread. Indy has a son who is a Fonzy wanna be(from Happy Days)...I was willing to except some silliness. I was excepted the Russians breaking into Area 51, and then Indy survives a Nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge. - Okay, I am willing to except that... But then this movie went into over the top in silly. Such as Indy's son and the villain sword fighting while standing on the hoods of moving cars, unbelievable acrobatics (the kind we saw in movies like MATRIX and Blade), then he got knocked off of the car, then he swang on vines like Tarzan until he caught up to the cars, then an army of Brazilian rain Forrest monkeys magically attack the Russians.... was this really written by adults. Then the grand finale of the film was the ancient Aztech pyramid that amazingly folds up into an alien flying saucer, then a magic earthquake comes and floods out the entire area, which Indy and his cohorts survive because the magical end up on top of a mountain after leaving the pyramid. >>> this movie was all about stunts, special effects without any relevance for reality.Indiana Jones 4 is not totally awful, its just silly -

I've watched this with my dad in 2008. I enjoyed it and I said that I'm an Indy fan. I've watched the first three films and now this. There were others saying that they didn't like this film but I liked the art and style of this film. There were other Indy fans who enjoyed this film. Others can say whatever they want. It's fine and I don't mind. I'm entitled to my opinion. I even enjoyed the non-stop action. It was great to have Karen Allen back as Marion Ravenwood. I heard that the 5th Indy film is coming soon so I'm not sure what to expect.I liked the story of the Crystal Skull and its origin. They did a good job with the special effects just like Raiders of the Lost Ark. To me, it's fun to watch this film and enjoy it. It's the spirit of the Raiders film and the whole franchise. I give this film 10/10 stars for my own opinion and point of view.
