I have been worried that it would be Star Wars all over again, that Harrison Ford would have forgotten who Indiana was and that George Lucas would have been caught up in special effects. Thankfully none of this happened.

Its not the best Indiana Jones movie made, but it certainly did not leave me disappointed. There could have been more of that famous Jones humour and the alien thing was a bit odd, but overall, it gets a thumbs up. Cate Blanchett is great and perfect as a Indy movie German (AHERM- EDIT: Russian!- Thank you to Angus for pointing this out. I must have been asleep during that part of the plot) baddie. Shia LeBouf had me concerned but he didn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth as I had worried he would.

I guess because we have seen Harrison Ford age over the years, seeing him as Indiana now wasn’t that shocking. However, Karen Allen seems to have aged about a hundred years since Raiders and she seemed like an old lady next to him. Not the usual Indiana Jones leading lady, that’s for sure.

I will most likely see it again. If you love the Indy films, you should like this one.
