Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Review By yellowjacket1

Ranks right up there with the most depressing and disappointing sequels I’ve ever endured. This movie hurts as much as Caddyshack 2 or Highlander 2. As a fan of the trilogy, I left the theatre completely dumbfounded after sitting through this wild and unfocused mess. I literally needed to give myself a standing eight count in the parking lot. A pause as if I was just punched in the gut. The movie really is that bad and I’m still a bit stunned. After filtering a few of the reviews, I was expecting some over-the-top, dumb action…James Bond level silliness but still an enjoyable romp. What they delivered was brain damaged sequences held together but the worst plot imaginable. George Lucas and his alien fetish needs to be expunged from the human ranks. Still being an Indy fan, I began searching for aspects of this movie that I liked and that could raise my ranking from a flat zero. I was able to elevate my gut reaction to a two out of ten but that rating is way to kind for one of the worst all around movies of the year.
