Indiana Jones returns

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Starring: Harrison Ford, Ray Winstone, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, & Karen Allen
Genre: Action, Adventure
Director: Steven Spielberg

Script: There are certain parts of the screenplay that seem a bit outlandish, but generally able to incorporate the Indiana Jones trademark action adventure and humour quite well.
4 / 5 stars

Acting:
The casts are all veterans and need no introduction. Ford has never been more comfortable at any other role, and Blanchett as usual is fabulous at whatever role she plays. Even rising star Shia LaBeouf manages to shine here despite the presence of these megastars.
4 / 5 stars

FX:
In a departure from previous Indiana Jones films, a lot of CGI are used here. Some hardcore fans may strongly oppose this blasphemous invasion of modern technology, but it is all for a good cause.
3.5 / 5 stars

Tilt:
The movie uses the same old recipe that makes the Indiana Jones franchise such a huge success, and it still works for today's audience. Add in the nostalgic factor and it's a guaranteed adventure of a lifetime.
4 / 5 stars

Overall:
4 / 5 stars


The Good: A film that stars Harrison Ford, directed by Steven Spielberg, with the words Indiana Jones in its title. Good enough?
The Bad: An older looking Ford may not be able to draw female crowds like he used to.
The Ugly: The plot device may still be of archaeological origin to keep in line with the Indiana Jones theme, but a certain element of it (can't write it here due to spoiler) is bound to make some fans go "WHAT?"

Censorship*: None noticeable.

*Malaysian viewers only.
