Brian's
Rating: A- : I had the chance to be with my 10 year old nephew for his first
ever viewing of this movie. He was completely in awe, and I was reminded again
why I like the whole Indy franchise.
Sean Connery as Dr. Jones Sr. does a great job in the role and made me smile
throughout. The film is chalk full of all the "Indy-isms" you can imagine, and
keeps the story moving as one action scene flows into another.
Now, it is better than Crystal Skull, but objectively, not by a lot. So many
knocks on the newest were on the complete and utter implausibility of all the
scenes, as well as the lack of originality. This movie has those same drawbacks
except the character of Dr. Jones Sr. does add more originality.
Despite the bad sound effects and numerous plot holes that I had forgotten
about, I will always like the Indy franchise. The score by John Williams is
awesome, and the whole mystical adventure story line is captivating and
imaginative.
The Freak's Rating:
B- : The beginning of the end of the Indy franchise started with this one in
my opinion. There is a great South Park episode about Spielberg and Lucas
raping Indiana Jones to death which pretty much sums up what they've done to a
cinematic icon. Nazis again? Though the Holy Grail was an
interesting storyline, the Nazis must somehow always be involved. I
personally don't give them enough credit to be involved in virtually everything
evil for the decades they were in power as the writers of this trilogy did.
Raiders was amazing, Temple was
incredibly entertaining, Crusade is by far the worst of the three. That
said, it is still only a B- from me. The score (as Brian mentions) is
fantastic, the action sequences are FAR better than the fourth installment and
acting by Sean Connery and Harrison Ford together is incredibly entertaining.
There are many flaws with the film, but it is still worth a see to anyone who
hasn't. Is there someone over the age of 20 that hasn't?
Sebastian's Rating: A- : Scott i see you like south park haha.
Anyways, i totally disagree on the other hand. The most recent Indiana jones
movie's storyline was terrible however the last crusades wasn't too bad. I loved
the connection between "Junior" and hi father. I Believe this is probably the
second best indiana jones movie, besides, it was better than the temple of doom
- possibly the wrost one.
In my opion scott its being a bit harsh with a B-, besides back when this first
came out this was a rare treat to the audience.
The storyline is a little over the place but when i think back to indiana jones,
i think raiders oif the lost arcs action scenes, and the connections of father
and son.
And i know the ending was a little silly, but overall despite its flaws The Last
Crusade is an overall fun experience - A must see.
Alex's Rating: B- : Not as
good as Temple Of Doom, not as silly as Crystal Skull. It is a good film, but it
gets boring after a while.
