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.

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.

Reviews for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
1 - 20 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticThe Kingdom of the Crystal Skull lives up to its hype and offers plenty of classic Indy moments.
06/07/08
Top CriticThe 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
Top CriticFun, entertaining, genuinely amusing, and made with an abundance of what appears to be honest-to-god warmth, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull is a worthy addition to one of the great movie franchises.
05/29/08
Top CriticThey had 19 years since the last Indiana Jones movie to come up with something truly exciting and fresh, but I feel there’s a certain laziness and cynicism in this latest adventure.
05/28/08
Top CriticIt's a film well tuned to its own sense of nostalgia and the images of its time.
05/25/08
Top CriticIn spite of an over reliance on CG, and one too many obvious moments of George Lucas-involved tomfoolery, this is a great piece of studio-produced escapist entertainment
05/19/08
Top CriticWhen Indy swings a punch or delivers a biting retort, audiences sit up and listen with looks of adoration and reverence. It's all one big spectacle, after all – so why begrudge the old guy one last adventure?
05/19/08
Top CriticFilled with many hairy escapes (and a few miraculous ones), Indiana Jones' fourth adventure is as rip roaring as we would expect, dotted with little jokey bits and a dash of Close Encounters of the Third Kind kind of thing.
05/18/08
Top CriticAt its best, sublime. Overall, the great moments make up for the mediocre.
05/18/08
Top CriticI'll answer the most important question first. Yes, there is a Wilhelm scream in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Exhilarating

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- the fourth movie about Henry Jones, Jr. -- is as comfortable as an old shoe. Or an old hat. Actually it is old hat. It's comfortable, but it's also worn and slack.
02/01/09
Although it carries a certain level of slickness to it, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shows that although the times have changed - both in the film and for the viewing audience - Indiana Jones hasn't. And that's a problem.
11/03/08
...playful and entertaining, even if it looks, deliberately, as though we've seen it all before.
09/27/08
Give me an aged archaeologist with a whip any day over a gun-toting secret agent sipping Martinis under the code-name of 007.
08/17/08
Welcome back Indiana- the old Ford still runs like new!
07/19/08
When it's good it's great, and when it's bad, it's a typical Lucas misfire.
07/17/08
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.
