Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of Crispy Skull

"Famed archaeologist/adventurer Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls (www.imdb.com)".

Yesterday I watched this long awaited movie with all the hope to see an Indiana Jones film of the millennium era. But after one hour, I was rather disappointed. The story does not hold together well and the dialog rings intermittently false throughout the film. I wanted to love the movie - but I was disappointed. When I heard they were all waiting for the "right" script to make another Indy film - that sounded good. But it appears that wasn't really true. I have to assume they all just decided the timing was "right" and it would be fun to get the old group together to do a flick - because the script was poor. The movie is more like an attempt at what an Indiana Jones adventure SHOULD look like - but with no real substance. A series of Indiana like dangerous situations and exploits strung together loosely with some attempts at humor thrown in. But no clear beginning to end plot. And finally, I'm not really feeling excited to see the movie.

Anyone wants to see the movie must be aware. If you want to see "much upgraded" Indy, you have to be ready to be disappointed. But if you only want to complete the all series of Indy, the movie has adequate points to satisfy you. So, this movie is crispy, like potato chips I ate, not much more.
