Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

indycover_400

Is hollywood redeeming itself for my generation? First we get Transformers, which rocked. Then we get Iron Man which is out-and-out the best superhero/comic book movie ever made.

Then we get the new Indiana Jones. This movie, well, kicked ass.

True to form. Shows it's age. And just works.

Visually matches the first movie. Set in the 50's to allow Harrison Ford to actualy play a guy his age. Still kicking ass and taking names, but tiring out. The story line is compelling -- almost as compelling as Raiders but for sure better than Temple of Doom or Last Crusade. Even the ending which a lot of people didn't like, was true to form and in my opinion fit very well.

And it's freakin' entertaining. Did hollywood finally get the memo?
