one of my absolute favorites!
Just perfect...
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
While I am addicted to many franchises , I reserve my critique to the part or episode which appeals to me the most. I do pick my battles hence to conserve energy and preserve my sanity as well, I do this selective critique method . The tandem of Harrison Ford as Indy and Sean Connery ( ah the man) as Indy Senior is such a hilariously insane , watermelon combination. Like a watermelon both men are hard on the surface but crack it and what you get is pink-reddish , sweet , succulent fruit, just like these two as Father and Son. The highlight with the Last Knight and the message of sacrifice for family puts a small internal tear with all of us viewers. Solid gold entertainment .
Truly great blend of high adventure and simply wonderful humor. Sean Connery as Indy's father is absolutely fantastic and the banter between these two is great. The ending sequence is one of my favorite endings and a really iconic scene. Easily my favorite Indy movie, an absolute blast from start to finish!
I really do not get these Indiana Jones movies at all. These are all average adventure films but evidently somehow in IMDb they got the best ratings.Like other Indiana Jones films this one also has a weak script which is full of plot holes. There was hardly any logic in the story. Although acting was decent but without a strong story the film was not that enjoyable.The action scenes are the most weird of all. They tried to add comedy in these scenes which made them rather childish. They should have these scenes intense and serious instead.Overall it is an average film and good way to spend your spare time.
I love this movie! Personally it's my favorite out of the first 3. It definitely is not the best but I love the treasure that Indiana is searching for and the story is just written so well. Sean Connery really is so good as Indiana's father that you can actually see him being his father in real life. Just like the first 2 films in the franchise it has everything you have come to expect from an Indiana film. I also love that we get to see a small taste of our hero's childhood. It follows the exact same formula as the first 2 but that's what makes a successful franchise. Some of the old favorite characters return and join in on the adventure which was a refreshing change. With this film Spielberg and Lucas insured that they created a truly successful trilogy of films that could even rival Star Wars. I would go so far as to say that in some ways Indiana Jones is a stronger trilogy than the first Star Wars trilogy simply because with this film Indiana really does end on a strong note.
