A slick, fun film that has by no means sacrificed the fast action beats of the first three.

Consensus:
Though the plot elements are certainly familiar, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still delivers the thrills and Harrison Ford's return in the title role is more than welcome.

While there's fun to be had at this new film, there were moments when I thought, like some of Indy's archaeological finds, it probably should have remained as a museum piece.

Set this alongside gun-wielding military bad guys and the expected conspiracy plots and the film looks set to fit easily alongside the other Indy films.

The first new chapter in the Indiana Jones saga for 20 years starts with a bang before the director Steven Spielberg's penchant for schmaltz and the supernatural leaves a permanent scar on the franchise.

It is a load of old nonsense, of course, but the journey is worth the price of admission.

The good news for Ford fans is that Indy may be older and greyer, but there’s still a spark to his repartee.

Between a series of stunt-driven set-pieces, implausibly linked, the film gets bogged down in wearying talk.

Despite the genuine excitement, and one blinding flash of the old genius, this new Indy film looks like it's going through the motions.

When it's good it's great, and when it's bad, it's a typical Lucas misfire.

A colossal disappointment by any measure, this latest Indiana Jones film focuses in on the character weaknesses of its creators George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

Normally it's a terrible thing if a film only gives us one good character ... except when it's Indiana Jones, with a whip at his side. A terrible story can't totally ruin Jones. Thank God.

Packed with fights and chases--but then so were the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. The worst Steven Spielberg popcorn flick since 1941.

They just don't make them like they used to, and depending on which category you fall into, that's either a bad or good thing.

[Speilberg] is no longer a young director, and nowhere is that more apparent than in his approach to this Indy.
06/12/08
The pace is a bit lethargic, and the film also suffers from the usual Spielberg Achilles' heel of many, many false endings.
