Indiana Jones: and the kingdom of the crystal skull was a poor substitute for an Indiana movie, whilst it was a top shelf movie it does not stand amongst the pantheon of truly great movies in which the first and last (crusade) Indiana Jones are members of. Over all the movie was good but flawed.
Let me explain, the story was crafted of only the strangest conspiracy theories , Russian alien/psychic research, el Dorado as an alien Built city, Roswell, flying saucers, inter dimensional beings, most blatantly the crystal skulls, and the list continues on. The only reasons I think are possibly for this idiotic dribble of a plot is either; 1. It was just a ploy to get money, 2. the entire premise of making the movie was to make fun of good ol' Indy, another possibility is that (3.) they just stamped the story with the good professor's name and called up Harrison(this is probably the most likely), or my personal favorite (4.) they hired a Invader Zim fanfic writer to come up with the premise or maybe they got high just before they started discussing plot, any way the result was the same, a really good movie that should not have been created using the Indiana Jones license. Second was (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) the most obvious plot twist in the history of plot twists the (don't recall his name) is Indiana Jones' son, I mean c'mon they were setting him up the entire time, the friendly (yet not fatherly advice) gave the entire thing away; I mean hay his first appearance I pointed him out and said " thats probably Indy's son". BAt my biggest grievance was the fact it was a carnival of unlikeliness, from all the senseless theories that come from college students and raving lunatics that will go climb mt. Everest if you said there was a UFO crash site at the top, to the increased dependence on Indy's Incredible luck, to the crazy spider monkey-ninja-unread-amazonian things, and surviving three 100 foot drops in a histrionically inaccurate Russian amphibious boat. But all this is nit picking, unless you cannot tolerate conspiracy (In a similar manner to my hatred of their senseless idiocy), if not you will love this movie: just don't think of it as an Indiana Jones sequel, and even if you can't stand conspiracy theories you will like this movie still.
