Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indi + Cate Blanchett + Fast Action + Humor = A Satisfying Conclusion to the IJ Series

In the newest IJ film, Dr. Jones and his cohorts head to South America searching for the El Dorado and a crystal skull of mythical power. Cate Blanchett shines as the evil Dr. Spalko, while Harrison Ford and Karen Allen wonderfully reprise roles that made them famous. Shia LaBeof's character, Jones's son, could easily have become the annoying new sidekick, but instead provides entertainment and a touch of youth.
The film starts at a fast pace and roars onward until the unbelievable but very "jonesian" ending. Recommended for fans of the IJ series and those who enjoy a well-constructed action film.
