Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Review By The Kwisatz Haderach

This is a great film, though it will probably be received as crap by many people who expect to see a 'Raiders' film. Let me tell you this isn't Raiders, so get over it. You can not expect the same stuff to be repeated over and over again, there is no point. Pick a novel if a character has the same adventure over and over again would you keep reading it or go to something fresh and new?

This film is grand, a return to Indiana Jones. shia is awesome molding into his character with ease. Harrison Ford is still the man, kickin ass and standing tall. Cate Blanchett rocks as the russki villian. Harrison moves a little slower but the action is on point. The humor is there and it was just what I expected from anew indiana jones.

Now in the theater, a guy near me bitched about the crystal skull being fake and the same with aliens. Good God man! Every adventure (film) Indy has gone on is based on legend or myths, just because you didnt learn about the Cyrstal Skulls of South America in Sunday School doesnt mean they dont exist! Does it really matter if the existed or not its a movie?!?!?!Hell I dare each of you to find one spot in the bible that mentions the Holy Grail, cause its not there. The Holy Grail is a myth, built up with Aurthurain Legends and what not, and only the Catholic Church actuals references the Holy Grail. so whats the big deal if Indy goes looking for an alien artifact, whats the difference between an alien artifact and a christian artifact that came from god?? So people are more willing to except Christian myths, but aliens are out of the question. Think about it man, the really only difference between aliens and gods are labels, both are supernatural to humans both are unexplainable so get off your high horse and enjoy the freakin movie! for more information pick up a book on sumnerian or egyptian myths and legends, or The 12th Planet by Zachiria Stichin.

Im justing getting back from a second viewing of this film. I have to say I enjoyed it as much the first as I did the second time around. I really actually liked the part of Indy being involved in studing the remains of the crash in 1947 and the tie in with the crystal skull. I also really liked the way the film was shot, the camera angles and various shots were straight out of the 50's b movies, the fight in the dinner between college jocks and greasers was great. Everything played out just like I expected of another Indy flick. The ending I feel was pefect, the fadora flying up to Shia and Ford taking it away I think means Shia isnt ready yet for the role as Indy but one day maybe, and remember if they do make a another film it wont be Mutt Williams, his name is Henrey Jones the Third. Again its a quality adventure film one all can enjoy.
