Verdict on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the fourth adventure of Indiana Jones. It follows Indiana as he goes in search of a mysterious skull that contains great power. He faces up against a ruthless explorer and her army who want the power for themselves.
This might well be the weakest of all of the original four Indiana Jones movies, but you can still have a lot of fun with it. The jokes about the age work on some levels, despite us getting another movie nearly another 15 years later. While the adventure itself is filled with clues, hints and mystery. It offers everything you want from an adventure movie and keeps us wanting more. The bigger named cast gets to have a lot of fun on the adventure too.
Final Thoughts – Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull keeps the adventure going.
