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.
Theatrical Release:22-05-2008

Reviews for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Top CriticWhile 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.
05/18/08
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.

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

Top CriticSo was it worth the wait? ...Absolutely.
05/18/08
Between a series of stunt-driven set-pieces, implausibly linked, the film gets bogged down in wearying talk.

Top CriticWelcome back Indy. Lord knows we’ve missed you.

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

Top CriticI'll answer the most important question first. Yes, there is a Wilhelm scream in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- the fourth movie about Henry Jones, Jr. -- is as comfortable as an old shoe. Or an old hat. Actually it is old hat. It's comfortable, but it's also worn and slack.
02/01/09
Although it carries a certain level of slickness to it, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shows that although the times have changed - both in the film and for the viewing audience - Indiana Jones hasn't. And that's a problem.
11/03/08
...playful and entertaining, even if it looks, deliberately, as though we've seen it all before.
09/27/08
Give me an aged archaeologist with a whip any day over a gun-toting secret agent sipping Martinis under the code-name of 007.

Welcome back Indiana- the old Ford still runs like new!
07/19/08
When it's good it's great, and when it's bad, it's a typical Lucas misfire.
07/17/08
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.
