Illinois Johnson and the Imperium of the Zirconium Femur
I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull earlier today. Over all, I think it's a great movie and definitely worth seeing, though I think that Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade were better. I don't remember enough of The Temple of Doom to really compare it, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that despite Harrison Ford and all of the other returning actors being older, it still feels like an Indiana Jones movie. The only real difference this time around is that the movie takes place in 1957, which unfortunately means no more battling with Nazis hellbent on misusing the powers of ancient relics. The Soviets make a decent substitute though.
I won't go into too much detail about the story since every website on the planet seemed content with spoiling roughly 90% of the movie before the weekend ended, but if you've seen the other movies, you can probably guess some of the tropes that make appearances. The references to past movies range from subtle to scare-you-with-a-snake obvious, but it's a fun ride.
