Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Janck: I had a bad feeling about IJ4 when it was first announced after years of rumours and development. However, the final result is great fun and another treasure in the series, with the good most definitely outweighing the bad. IJ4 even gets slightly political at times with a subtle reference to deforestation, and a more obvious one to the dangerous era of McCarthyism. This is no Phantom Menace.
4 stars.
[spoiler]
The much anticipated return of Short Round didn't happen - surely he'd have got a wedding invite ?!?[/spoiler]
L O S T WATCH : Alan Dale takes time out from Ramsey Street and looking for The Island to appear as an army General.


Mitch: As I overheard someone walking out of the cinema say "I prefered it when I didn't know where the story was going....". Cornier than a corn field, and plot holes you could drive a bus through, Indy is probably the coolest teacher ever. (Part time anyway). Entertaining popcorn flick; go see it on the big screen.
4 stars.
