INDIANA JONES And THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (DVD/SPECIAL EDITION)

Cons: Unappealing Visual Effects, Disappointing, Poor Plot Development

Best Uses: Younger Viewers

Reviewer Comments: I bought the 2 disc set — without ever having seen the film first. This is something I usually reserve for films from directors and producers that I’m willing to bank on.

George Lukas wanted to make a B-movie rather than to return to the Republic Pictures look of the adventure serials. On THAT he succeeded.

The FX were very weak, the plot was inane, and the acting was only fair. The errors in time and place and facts were almost laughable, if they weren’t made seriously! Even Harrison Ford actually looked bored in this film.

Steven Spielberg did himself no favors with this turkey — he should have backed out of this one after reading the shooting script!

I’m an achivist and a collector of over 16,000 superb DVDs from 1917 to the present, and this is the worst buy that I’ve ever made.

If you bought this film on DVD as I did, return it and ask for your money back!
