Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Notepad

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Plot Summary

Indiana Jones pushes off to the Amazon to help an old friend who had been working on tracing a mysterious artifact and who has now been kidnapped.

What Worked

• The scene at the beginning of the film where Indy stumbles onto a nuclear test site just seconds before detonation. Very well done and we get to see Indy silhouetted against a large full screen mushroom cloud!

What did not

• The fight in the Amazon jungle – this was so unintentionally funny, the vehicles move on two parallel tracks, ha, ha, and there is a lot of jumping, and catching, and sword fighting. The scene also looks quite tacky because of the special effects used.
