Movie Review - Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Say what you will about the long anticipated sequel, but the film was never boring. Yes there were some unnecessary scenes (the monkey scene anyone?) and maybe the whole alien plot just wasn't for you (I enjoyed it), but this film accomplished what it set out to do; to entertain. This is a popcorn flick for people who love adventure films. When the cast signed on for this, no one was expecting to win any awards. Sure, I know you could say that about any movie, but this one actually succeeds at entertaining, where many films of the genre fail miserably. So far, this and Iron Man are the two big movies of the summer, and while most are recommending Iron Man, I say go with Dr. Jones.
