REVIEW:
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL
Well, the fourth adventure of Dr.Jones is finally here... 19 years after his third adventure. Usually when a sequel of a movie franchise releases 19 years after its predecessor people won’t be very keen but when it brings the legendary character of Indiana Jones back on screen with ‘the beard’ behind the camera and the brain behind star wars producing it, it becomes the most expected movie of the year.
Its 1957. Dr.Jones is taken to a secret military base (the place where the Ark of the Covenant is kept) by Russian agents led by Cate Blanchett to take a box from the storage facility .Dr.Jones’ life is in danger so is the life of his friends… adventure begins… again.
In this review, we are not going to go too deep into the story…Life of Dr.Jones’ friends are online as he must find a crystal skull and take it to a place (the name of which only archeologists know and only few of them believe its existence). A place made of gold. The person who replaces the skull in that mysterious place will control the powers of the skull. If you had guessed that Cate Blanchett is the one who wants it done… don’t consider yourself smart. Even kids can get this right.
Throw in UFOs , great action sequences, funny sequences, triple agents, INDY’s theme music, atomic explosions and of course the directorial genius ness of Mr.Spielberg what you get is a movie that is worth the wait of the 19 years. The movie is taken completely to another level by the performances of the leads. The chemistry between Harrison and Shia is pure fun. Shia who we all know has a great potential has delivered big time. Harrison & Shia are a treat to watch.
Spielberg has once again proved why he is one of the best directors of all time. His imaginations and visualizations are simply outstanding. This movie has some of the most memorable sequences in recent times. CG is great. Action sequences are engaging and extremely funny (most of them).
This movie is like an encyclopedia of adventure genre films. Great locations, funny sequences, great lines, tribes, great CG & action sequences, good performances and yeah… a plot interesting enough to keep you hooked throughout the movie!! Honestly if you ask me these are the stuff Indiana Jones series is all about.
A MUST WATCH FOR ALL TRUE MOVIE FANS…
