Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls.

Here's a big one. There was so much being said about this movie, fear and anticipation gripped us all. Indiana Jones is a name that sparks that adventurous spirit in all of us. We grew up watching these films and they were great. Now we have a sequel more then a decade later, does Indy still have it....you bet your ass he does!

The newest Indiana Jones movie follows the formula we are used to experiencing. Supernatural artifacts, punching, the one on one with a huge burly guy that always ends in a brutal death for Indys opponent, whips, and old dangerous underground lairs. When I saw this film over the memorial day weekend, I instantly felt that excitement and amusement I experienced watching the other Indiana films.
(Yes, you're still a good looking bastard)

Indiana's older and a little wiser, but can still do what he's known for. The story was fun and relatively easy to follow. I'm not one to spoil plots, so I won't go into to much detail about anything.

It takes a lot to get me to go to the theaters (the last film I saw at the theater was Shaun of The Dead), but this was the kind of film one needs to see as soon as they can. I give this a 4 out of 5. A thumbs up, and whatever else people do to say they like something these days.
