Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Yesterday I went to see the new Indiana Jones movie. I must admit that I've been really excited about this film for quite some time. (Like 19 years!) So I was a little bummed when I read some mediocre reviews before seeing it. So I thought I would give my take on the new movie.

First off I would tell everyone that it is a definite must see. The complaints I kept hearing was that the story was kind of far-fetched and some of the sequences were just unbelievable.

So after seeing the movie myself I would have to agree that the story is kind of far-fetched and some of the sequences were really unbelievable. But after thinking a little more I realized that all the Indiana Jones movies have stories that are a little far-fetched and sequences that are really unbelievable. (Have you seen Temple of Doom? They fall out of a plane on a life raft! The mine cart sequence? And those are just a few examples.) Once I got past that I really had a good time. I think that we build these movies up with expectations so much that nothing will satisfy us.

Overall I really enjoyed the movie. Did I believe everything that was in it? No. But it's a movie people. We go to movies to escape from reality. And on top of that it's an Indiana Jones movie. I would even see it again. And I surely will add it to my DVD collection when it's released.

Go see it. You won't regret it. I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
