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
Synopsis: When we last saw Indiana Jones on screen, it was 1938, and the world stood on the brink of war as Dr. Jones chased down evildoers to find the Holy Grail. Nineteen years later, he’s cracking his... [More]
Starring: Harrison Ford, Ray Winstone, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett
Director: Steven Spielberg
The overall effect is either exhilarating or exhausting, depending on your emotional investment in the franchise, but credit where credit is due: Steven Spielberg and George Lucas set out to make one for the fans and delivered.
Better than Temple of Doom, but not as good as Raiders or Last Crusade . . .
The swashbuckling swings from the rafters, mad races in dueling jeeps, etc. are, to get right to the point, old fedora.
take this nostalgic "pathway to another dimension", and for two hours your mind, like Oxley's, will be blissfully empty.
Spielberg proves he still knows how to generate high-style thrills, and Ford affirms that he can yet deliver both a punch and a wry punchline.
Affectionately aimed at both the AARP crowd and those who grew up with Indy. Temper comparisons to the trilogy and take it on its own terms as a fun ride with a rejuvenated Harrison Ford and enough great action to trump a blah finale.
Delivers more or less what one would expect: a reunion with a few old friends amid disposable popcorn entertainment … Enjoy it for what it is, but don't hope for more.
When Spielberg makes an Indiana Jones movie, you can tell he still loves it. I guess I do, too. For the most part, anyway.
Experiência similar a um reencontro com um velho amigo: inicialmente, o prazer da reunião é contagiante, mas, depois de duas horas, percebemos que não há razão para mantermos a velha amizade viva no presente.
Dispelling all fears about age and ability, Harrison Ford puts on that legendary fedora and becomes Indiana Jones again, exactly as we remember him.
The first half of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull absolutely captures the tone and spirit of Raiders and Last Crusade.
After the debacles that were the three Star Wars prequels, George Lucas finally finds a return to form with Crystal Skull.
In a summertime sea of superheroes, Indy emerges once again the coolest crusader of them all.
Not the Greatest Movie Ever, but exactly what it should be: a solid, thrill-packed, immensely entertaining chapter in one of the most enjoyable adventure series in movie history.
Despite all the spit and polish, there's a slightly stale, musty feel to the movie, as though Spielberg were painting by numbers.
Although the title is imposingly big, producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg's first installment in the adventure saga since 1989's The Last Crusade is, in many respects, disappointingly diminutive.
Spielberg and his team simply know how to do this kind of thing better than most of the filmmakers inspired by them who are trying to do it today.
It's not that Crystal Skull doesn't deliver the laughs and the thrills; it's just that they all feel incredibly calculated, and it's quite possible that you won't remember them after a day or two.
True fans looking for nothing more than a piece of old-fashioned entertainment will be glad to see the man with the hat once again.
Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is, in spite of claims otherwise made, a CG version of an Indiana Jones movie... for better or for worse.
