We just returned from seeing "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and it was about as good as I expected it to be. No, I was not very impressed with the alien theme, but having Indy and Marion back together made up for it. :) Mutt was a great sidekick and some of his lines were great, especially in the grave digging scene.
My siblings and I went into the theater with mixed hopes. We had read lots of reviews and as many spoilers as possible so that if there was something too gross we would not be taken by surprise. I was not really happy about the (spoiler) ants, aliens, or a nuclear blast but quickly shut my eyes and "got over it." Shia LaBeouf did a great job (we had first seen him in The Greatest Game Ever Played-another great movie). We loved the conversations between Mutt and Indy. Oh, and did I mention the ending? It was great!! Just watching Indy and Marion get married... it was meant to be! :)
The movie was a little slow in the middle. I have to admit I rolled my eyes when Mutt was swinging on vines through the trees in the jungle and they were trying to put Indy in some sort of trance with the skull.
At the end, and after a good discussion with my siblings, I would give the movie a 7/10.
My siblings and I also just watched all 3 movies and "the making of" specials in the last 2 weeks to prepare ourselves for Indy 4. I would give Raiders a 10/10, Temple of Doom a 8/10, and Last Crusade (my least favorite) a 5/10.
