film was good really enjoyed it

dont watch

Great film

Film was okay but not a good as past Indiana Jones filmsFilm was watched on Amazon video although picture quality was good and will buy another film sometime.

After reading commercial critical reviews of this film, you'd think this was a dim and depressing coda to the Indiana Jones series with a sad and dingy Dr. Jones being upstaged by a stereotypical modern feminist. Not at all.You have to consider how old Harrison Ford is and YET he is still Indiana Jones. And he knows it. This is no 'phone it in' for cash. Yes, he's older and slower but his younger days are gone. You need to enjoy the film for what he can do now.Other than making a whole new younger Indy film in CGI, this was about as good as it could get. I'd held secret hopes of Indy's last journey being to a risen Atlantis - but despite the cringy title - this is still a true Indy film. And the first 30 minutes - I was transported back to 1982 when my father and I saw Raiders in the cinema. I laughed, and almost cried with joy. Not all CGI is evil and here it was used to create a genuine piece of story. I will watch this bit again just to pretend it's a whole film.Harrison Ford is excellent as the older Indy, kind of lost at first as he has had no new adventures. Teaching at uni, he's not really excited about teaching or life any more. When his feisty God-daughter turns up to steal part of the Dial, he is unwillingly thrust into adventure. As the film goes on, the old Indy begins to find his feet again. He's still the unwilling grouch who is also still the hero.And... Nazi's. A moment of reality - these guys really were utterly evil - and history needs to always remember them and what they did.In entertainment, they are Indy's best enemies and here they are no exception.Any downsides? Yes, Indy seems to deny that he experienced the spiritual realities of the ark and the grail by saying that it's "how hard you believe" that is important. Really? After you've experienced the power of God, and ancient aliens? This incongruent nod to self-help pulled me out of the story for a moment. But just for a moment.The ending is... strangely fitting. There are definitely twists I didn't see coming. And there's a scene right at the end that harks back to the first film - I actually felt like crying. For me that was over 40 years ago and Indy is still here.God bless you, Indiana Jones.

After the really darker and violent second entry The Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade returned the series back to it's former glory and in doing so produced the best entry in the series. The film serves both as a prequel and a sequel to the previous entries with the opening showing a Young Indy played by the late River Phoenix and explaining how Indy got his facial scar, fear of snakes and the inspiration behind his trademark outfit. It is a solid performance by Phoenix, who in his brief onscreen time manages to capture Ford's mannerisms perfectly. Ford himself recommended Phoenix to Spielberg, having worked with him on The Mosquito Coast 3 years earlier. The film then moves into the present where Indy is hired by American Walter Donovan (played with relish by Julian Glover) to find the Holy Grail and in turn his father who was the project leader who has gone missing. The late Sean Connery, who received a BAFTA nomination for his turn Henry Jones Snr, steals the film as Indy's dad. His chemistry with Ford, who in real life he is only 10 years older, is truly infectious providing the film with it's very best moments. There is plenty of action to please the Die Hard Indy fans but it is the dynamic between these 2 that holds the glue for this film. It is also to date still the longest of all the films clocking in at 126 minutes. The summer of 1989 was chockful of blockbusters and Sequels (I think something like 32 sequels were released that year) and while Batman was domestically Number 1 in the states The Last Crusade was Number 1 Internationally worldwide and with good reason as it was the better film. The film also reunited John Rhys Davies (Sallah) & Denham Elliott (Marcus Brody) from the first movie, having been absent from the second movie. This was at the time supposed to be the last part in a 3 picture trilogy that started with 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark before they revisited it 20 years later with the atrocious Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I read somewhere, upon his passing last year, that Connery had been offered to reprise his role but didn't like the script which involved aliens and he was enjoying his retirement. The Indiana Jones series was born out of Spielberg desire to direct a Bond film that when it came to casting Indy's dad Connery was a no brainer and this is still one of his best film roles. Highly Recommended 5/5🥰🥰🥰

I was a young teenager when Raiders came out. Whilst this last instalment is not as good as the original there is plenty of action. Explores familiar themes "supernatural" artefacts, femme fatales, Nazi villains, and has the inevitable child side kick. Lots of references to previous films in series some with new twists. Quite a long film but I enjoyed it and it did provide some closure to series at end which some might find over sentimental but I thought was a nice touch.J Williams theme of course excellent.One could question why but it has been done and i spent a fun evening watching it.

This film is and should of been an excellent 'end of' Indiana Jones. I can watch this again and again, unlike the very latest film, which completely ruined. This films got it all, great actors, humour, action, comedy - how could it be topped ! They never should of made any films after this one, it was the pinnicle, with a very rapid descent after...
