Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I don't think this movie needs any introduction at all, as most of you would've watched the previous 3 shows already. Having tickets to the premiere, I was understandably excited to watch it and luckily, I had good reason to be.

Seeing as not as many people have watched this yet, I'll try not to let any of the plot slip into the review. The movie starts like any Indiana Jones movie should start, action-packed, exciting and with witty lines from the evergreen Harrison Ford, a.k.a Henry Jones Jr. The rough plot is the Russians are looking for the same thing that Indiana is forced to look for and things escalate from there.

The pace of the movie doesn't drop from the start, scene after scene is action-packed. The edge of your seat feeling is maintained through-out the movie. The excitement and action scenes flow seamlessly, each with their parts to remember and there's enough to make Ironman seem like Oliver Twist. Harrison Ford, in his early 60s if I'm not mistaken, still pulls off most of his stunts in the movie and he does it well. Having not lost any of the charm from 19 years ago, the scruffy Indiana Jones goes about, looking good as ever, kicking ass.

Shia Lebouf really surprised me and he does really well, fitting well into his role and providing comic relief time and again. The best though was Cate Blanchett, this woman really shows what class she has as an actress by slotting perfectly into her role as Russian leader, complete with an Eastern European accent.

There aren't many down-points in the movie but some parts seem a bit far-fetched, even for an Indi movie. Apart from that though, the movie is solid. It entertains like only Indi can. If you go into it hoping to watch a dead serious movie then you won't rest your mind enough to just enjoy the show. Go in expecting to be entertained, to just enjoy the movie and you will be rewarded with a satisfying performance. I would rate it 7.5 but since we can't vote like that,

8/10

Song of the day: Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap.

P.S. Maybe some of you misinterpreted my last post as one of support for Archuleta, but trust me I hate the kid. I just wanted him to win to show how broken the system is.
