Indiana Jones…Filed Under: Film
… and the Sequel Too Many.
Well, maybe not - that title probably got ditched in the early phases of planning. Either way, yesterday I went to see the fourth Indiana Jones film (Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) and to be honest it wasn’t great.
It’s 19 years since Indy and his whip last got an outing, and Harrison Ford hasn’t aged too well in the mean time. He really looks old now, and as a result has been given a teenage sidekick for this film… not fantastic in my opinion
Now I’m not going to go into this too much, as I’m aware people will still want to see it, but there were moments of the film that made me go “wha… why?”. Sure, there were also moments that made me smile, and some that were exactly what I was expecting from an Indy film. Unfortunately there was also an over-abundance of CGI and where the previous films might have had some silly moments, this one took the entire pack of biscuits.
All in all it’s not great, and I’m hoping that they don’t make another one. Please. Stop screwing with my childhood film watching; you’ve already got to the Blues Brothers before this… and don’t even think about Back to the Future.

One word: Tarzan. That is all.
Oh and magnets that stop working when you cover them in a cloth, but keep on working if you cover them in a cloth in a box.
