Shame on you for stealing our money this time, Lucas-berg team! Missed Karen Allen and she was horribly disappointing. Love Blanchette and she was so NOT an enemy. Like the attempt to maintain the 1980s technology, but it just didn't hold up. Next time, put the money into better writers!

Good movie. New and old actors were all decent. I feel it lived up to the name. The whole crystal skull thing seemed a bit weird to me for an Indiana Jones theme though. Still a must see.

By far the worst movie I have ever seen. Ford cant act anymore and aliens? CORNY shoulda just stayed with the old Indiana Jones. At least then Ford had some acting ability.

Pretty decent movie, worth seeing. I saw it a while ago and thought it was really good except for Karen Allen who never stopped laughing or smiling no matter what the situation was. It looked like they broke her out of a ward.

Been waiting for Karen Allen's character to return for decades. Shame she's so wasted in this film. Not much to do except be a shallow love interest. Shia's character pleasantly fills the gap. He and Indy have good chemistry. The movie is over special-effected. Weak story. Aliens and spaceships? Com'on! Raiders I can watch again and again. Crusade once in a while. The screaming bimbo and Indy's comic book character in Temple are too much for me. Crystal Skull: Saw it once; that was enough.

Not sure what happened... Spielberg used to be great. It was formulaic and predictable. Long and boring. Where's the originality? Not here, that's for sure.

Typical Jones movie which are never disappointing. Was amazed to see Harison Ford do alot of his own stunts. It's always neat to see aging actors in action.

Aliens a little bit too unrealistic for you? Yeah I guess thats kind of a stretch after a cup that can heal all life and a man who can slowly stick (not thrust or punch) his hand into your chest and pull out your heart while it is still beating. I guess I couldn't really make that leap in illogic either. The people saying this is a cheesy movie REALLY need to watch the first 3 again. It might have humour aimed towards a younger audience, but didn't the first three do that as well? Corny pickup lines, ridiculously loud haymakers, and corny stunts that are, well, unrealistic/realistic. This movie holds true to the previous three in almost every aspect. The people who "LOVED" the first ones and think that the new one is "TERRIBLE!" need to get their "Indiana Jones is the new Superman" t-shirts out of their closet and go watch it again without too many expectations. The more you expect from something, the less it gives. Light heartedness is key in this movie. It's a fun movie you can watch again and again.

Bad, bad, bad and so disappointing - even if I kinda expected it. I guess us born in the 1970s felt the same watching "The Phantom Menace". Computerized effects, the occult and aliens may be a moneymaker these days but they don't necessarily make a good plot (even if I enjoyed the first 20 minutes of the movie) People over 12 shouldn't be allowed in the theatre! Spielberg, why did you sell your talent?

A great film history behind this release, definitely missing some punch, will be a good addition to your dvd selection when the 4 films are released as a package.

As always George Lucas makes the unexplainable, explainable. He has created an in credible Adventure for our long time hero "Indiana" and at the end we are literally dumbstruck by the revelations. It makes us really stop and think once we have left the theater and replay the story over and over in our minds. To walk out and say AWESOME, is premature. No this latest installment of the Indiana movies is like wine, savoured and appreciated over time. Makes you walk away saying "Hey what if? " and I think that is the idea. A movie that is gone from our minds once we are out of the movie house has no lasting power, but this one keeps you think long after you come home. Definitely go and see this movie!

Being a huge Indiana Jones fan from the moment I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark, I must say I was very disappointed with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I find that the movie could have done without a couple of the characters in the film, and others were just a hollow shell of what the used to be in Raiders. Like I said before, I'm a huge fan so I went to see it a second time. Getting over the initial disappointment, I found that I enjoyed the movie a little more the second time around. In any case, I feel I should give this movie a 10 because it deserves a higher rating than what it got. Give it a chance, it's obviously nowhere as good as the first but, still entertaining, hey, it's INDIANA JONES!!!

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
In the first half, exhilaration is permanent, the velocity is continual, and entertainment is perfect. The action in this movie is it’s best piece. The jeep chase sequence was incredible. The chase at area 51 was great. Everything was all pulled off to make it a typical Indiana Jones sequel. But it’s no Indiana Jones movie, if it were; there wouldn’t be deficient direction. Steven Spielberg fell off the swing in this movie. The script is vulgar, but the good actors make it sound enhanced. But the ant attack kind of copies the bug attack thing off the Mummy. And fantasies go way over undomesticated in this. The UFO, the aliens, you know it’s just mythological, and it’s all very peculiar history involving Aztec stuff. But Steven decided to create a Mummy meets Temple of Doom thing, with Bizarro stuff happening. When special effects is the main part of this gala. But alike most of Stephen Sommers movies, some of the visuals are terrible. Like the Gofers out in the middle of the desert, did they even try with that? Those random mesa American natives popping out of nowhere near the end. It’s cyclic with never-ending ideas of escapade. And the knowledge is fitting. The acting was all right. Most did defectively, others. Specifically the leads pulled off a high winner. But after 19 years of looking for a good-enough story, they come up with an idea that’s just way too surreal. That’s the only thing I have with this movie. Besides that, it has some good lines, like my favourite one: “Don’t just sit there and find something to fight with. ” Or the scene when Marion and Indy got sucked up in the sand pit. Or the cheep chase sequence, there were some funny spots their. This movie is occasionally admirable. But expect the average everyday summer flick you would get. Otherwise you will be let down.

It was so dumb, I almost fell off my seat dying of laughter. The movie is a slapstick comedy intended for kiddies. It was a JOKE.

I kind of knew that this film wouldn't be anything special before seeing it. However, I was not ready for the onslaught of schlock and cheese it tossed at me. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. An insult to a brain dead golden retriever's intelligence. Absolutely nothing redeeming about it - atrocious acting, inane plot, cliched dialogue, incredulous 'action' scenes. Not even worth a rental. Honestly.

Interesting - I like the alien twist, but the movie overall lacked the charisma and excitement of the original Indiana Jones Adventures. It seemed somewhat under-developed and although I did enjoy it, it seemed to fall a little flat.

People need to read more!!! The theory presented by this movie is a theory that is supported by many archeologist. This movie was very well done. And Harrison Ford is still Indiana Jones.

I went to see this movie with my boyfriend, and I dk about u pplz, but we both thought it was awesome! I have never seen an Indy movie before, but now I want to see the rest of them. I loved this movie because there was hardly ever a dull moment in it. The part with the ants eating the 2 people was kinda gross, but I still loved the movie. I would go and see it another time for sure! Indiana Jones rocks!

Spielberg asks too much of the viewer. Given the series' history, one can suspend disbelief and grudgingly accept the plot's supernatural twist. But despite cinematic (read: makeup) genius, Harrison Ford can no longer be seen as the heroic Indiana Jones. As the movie falls short of handing off the torch, it lacks a credible hero.

VERY, VERY disapointing for an Indiana Jones. I should prefer I have never seen it! Nothing related to the trilogy. What a shame! And what a poor, poor story!

Unfortunately, the feel is that they didn't put as much effort (innovation) into it, relying instead on the previous successe's wave. I want to like a movie but here, I just can't. I'd pay maximum $2.00 for this movie... if there was nothing else.

Honestly... it was horrible. It did not have the same heart as the last three movies. Aliens... ? Common. Indie is getting a bit too old. Too big of a window between the movies release.

This movie series has gone from the realm of reality (The Ark of the Covenant in movie one) to the ridiculous (little green space men) If you are going to make a great movie, it must be believable on at least some level. Sadly, other than the chase scene on the motorcycle through the University library, this film failed to hold me enthralled as it should have done. Realism goes a long way towards supporting interest in my books, and it was the opening scenes which I found to be most intriguing therefore. Spielberg, you are slipping!
