Nearly 20 years after riding his last Crusade, Harrison Ford makes a welcome return as archaeologist/relic hunter Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an action-packed fourth installment that's, in a nutshell, less memorable than the first three but great nostalgia for fans of the series. Producer George Lucas and screenwriter David Koepp (War of the Worlds) set the film during the cold war, as the Soviets--replacing Nazis as Indy's villains of choice and led by a sword-wielding Cate Blanchett with black bob and sunglasses--are in pursuit of a crystal skull, which has mystical powers related to a city of gold. After escaping from them in a spectacular opening action sequence, Indy is coerced to head to Peru at the behest of a young greaser (Shia LaBeouf) whose friend--and Indy's colleague--Professor Oxley (John Hurt) has been captured for his knowledge of the skull's whereabouts. Whatever secrets the skull holds are tertiary; its reveal is the weakest part of the movie, as the CGI effects that inevitably accompany it feel jarring next to the boulder-rolling world of Indy audiences knew and loved. There's plenty of comedy, delightful stunts--ants play a deadly role here--and the return of Raiders love interest Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, once shrill but now softened, giving her ex-love bemused glances and eye-rolls as he huffs his way to save the day. Which brings us to Ford: bullwhip still in hand, he's a little creakier, a lot grayer, but still twice the action hero of anyone in film today. With all the anticipation and hype leading up to the film's release, perhaps no reunion is sweeter than that of Ford with the role that fits him as snugly as that fedora hat. --Ellen A. Kim

Indiana Jones and Kingdom of Crystal SkullReview date: 2009-01-06 Rating: 2 out of 10Actually, this DVD would NOT play in our system. No, we don't have Blu-Ray, and there's no reason it should NOT play. The icon on the back of the DVD matches our combo TV-DVD player. Other DVDs play just fine, but not this one. It was a Christmas gift for my husband,so I am quite irritated about this. I gave the DVD to a friend to try out on their system, but they haven't gotten back to me with their success or failure.
ReviewsGreat movieReview date: 2009-01-06 Rating: 10 out of 10This was a gift for my daughter despite it being too graphic in some parts. She holds up a pillow to block out the once scene but she loves Indiana Jones so we gave it for Christmas. Harrison Ford still "has it" - acting, bravado and good looks.I want my money back!Review date: 2009-01-06 Rating: 2 out of 10This was one of the worst movies I have seen in a very long while. I can't believe they made a movie with such a poor script and ending.
If this is the best Ford and Spielberg can do, its time they both hang up their hats!Good MovieReview date: 2009-01-06 Rating: 10 out of 10Shipping was fast and the item was recieved in excellent condition! My boys love this movie!Great movie!Review date: 2009-01-06 Rating: 10 out of 10Absolutely wonderful movie full of action. Holds your interest and has you sitting on the edge of your seat at times!
