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.

When we last saw Indiana Jones on screen, it was 1938, and the world stood on the brink of war as Dr. Jones chased down evildoers to find the Holy Grail. Nineteen years later, he’s cracking his whip again, and many things have changed ... but some have remained the same. Again, the world is at a precipice, this time caused by the specter of nuclear annihilation, and Indy’s struggle is once again to ensure that a precious, mysterious object remains safe from those bent on destroying humanity. --© Paramount Pictures [More]

Reviews for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull lives up to its hype and offers plenty of classic Indy moments.
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.
Fun, 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.
They 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.
It's a film well tuned to its own sense of nostalgia and the images of its time.
In 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
When 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?
Filled 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.
At its best, sublime. Overall, the great moments make up for the mediocre.
...playful and entertaining, even if it looks, deliberately, as though we've seen it all before.
Give me an aged archaeologist with a whip any day over a gun-toting secret agent sipping Martinis under the code-name of 007.
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.
ena dioro ypertheama gemato entasi kai drasi hortastiki, apolaystiki ki aksiomnimoneyti oso tin proti fora, poy dikaionei tin katagogi tis anabionontas tin, kai kerdizei aksia mia thesi stin dipla stin thryliki trilogia tis
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.
