Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Ok, brief review of the newest Indy film. You probably shouldn't read further if you haven't seen it...or if you don't like sweary words.

The Good

• Indy - lets face it, this could have been a film about Indy suffering back pain and Harrison Ford would have still made it watchable.
• Mutt - I thought he was pretty decent as a character. Not sure of the plan to branch out of the Indy films using him as the lead role though.
• Russians - because they are cool.
• The University car/bike chase - very cool, along with the nod towards Marcus Brody.
• "You just brought a knife to a gun fight"
  

The Bad

• Swinging through the trees with the monkeys
• Fucking Aliens - I was ok with the plot until the aliens showed up at the end.
• The snake scene - Snakes are an Indy staple, the ongoing joke deserved alot better than this
• No Henry Jones Sr. - Denied.
• Mac - You're not Sallah, and you never will be.

Overall, I'd give it a generous 2 out of 4. It's not a patch on Raiders or Crusade, and Temple of Doom, despite being my least favourite of the 3 films, still comfortably kicks it in the arse.

My favourite part -

To illustrate this, SHIA LEBEOUF flies up into the FUCKING JUNGLE and swings like FUCKING TARZAN along the FUCKING VINES with a FUCKING ARMY of CGI FUCKING MONKEYS. That actually FUCKING HAPPENS.
