Consensus:
Though the plot elements are certainly familiar, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still delivers the thrills and Harrison Ford's return in the title role is more than welcome.

When it's good it's great, and when it's bad, it's a typical Lucas misfire.

A colossal disappointment by any measure, this latest Indiana Jones film focuses in on the character weaknesses of its creators George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

Normally it's a terrible thing if a film only gives us one good character ... except when it's Indiana Jones, with a whip at his side. A terrible story can't totally ruin Jones. Thank God.

Packed with fights and chases--but then so were the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. The worst Steven Spielberg popcorn flick since 1941.

They just don't make them like they used to, and depending on which category you fall into, that's either a bad or good thing.

[Speilberg] is no longer a young director, and nowhere is that more apparent than in his approach to this Indy.
06/12/08
The pace is a bit lethargic, and the film also suffers from the usual Spielberg Achilles' heel of many, many false endings.
06/11/08
Harrison Ford played a passable Indiana Jones, but he seemed to have lost his joie de vivre ... although it is an enjoyable fast-moving adventure movie ... I'd seen it before.

If you want to wonder who built two twin roads through the Amazon, or how come Indy and his troop survive not one but three trips over the waterfall without a bruise, then go to another movie.

The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull lives up to its hype and offers plenty of classic Indy moments.
06/07/08
The energy on display is impressive, even if Spielberg's suggestion that a fifth Indie adventure is a distinct possibility is more a cause for concern than celebration.
06/07/08
While we can never go home again completely, 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' reminds us of why we fell in love with Indiana Jones in the first place.
06/05/08
I'm going to get this out of the way first, it's not as good as the first three. However, it's a fun, entertaining romp, and there are some classic Indy moments in this.
06/04/08
With at least eight screenwriters hired to work on different drafts over the years ... it's a minor miracle that the finished film works as well as it does.
06/03/08
You sense that if Lucas had his way, Harrison Ford would have measured Shia LeBeouf's midiclorian levels.
06/03/08
Aside from the sustained invention of the jungle sequences, much of the movie feels like a recreation of something we've already seen, like the Vegas version of the Eiffel Tower.
