Review

better than the last crusade and as enjoyable as temple of the doom and raiders of the lost ark. i like temple of the doom the most, but it’s basically dead even with raiders. this one is a fun throwback with an update in the level of stunts and effects. shia labeouf is great. ford is a step below his former self, but does an adequate job and seems to warm up as the film progresses. karen allen does a fine job. cate blanchett is always trying to stretch her acting talents and goes a bit too far here. overall the film is highly entertaining and does much of the same stuff that the other films did, but does it for a modern audience. the archaeology is a little less intriguing in this one because of the close encounters of the third kind element to it (the first shot of the paramount mountain fading into a shot of a prairie dog’s mound is a nod to the close encounters of the third kind tie in). the reviews on this one are very mixed which i understand, but i thought it was great fun. labeouf and ford had an enjoyable chemistry, the stunts were fun, and the mythology they were chasing was intriguing enough.
