Harrison
Ford
dusts
off
his
infamous
brown
fedora
for
another
Indiana
Jones
film,
which
is
once
again
made
by
Steven
Spielberg
and
George
Lucas.
The
year
is
1957,
and
Indy
is
on
the
run
from
a
team
of
Russian
spies
led
by a
rapier-wielding
Irina
Spalko
(Cate
Blanchett).
The
Russians
want
Indy
to
help
them
locate
an
ancient
artifact
that
they
believe
can
be
used
as
the
ultimate
military
weapon.
Indy
manages
a
narrow
escape,
and
tries
to
return
to
his
life
as a
professor
of
archaeology,
but
he
soon
bumps
into
a
'50s
greaser
named
Mutt
(Shia
LeBeouf).
Mutt's
mother
as
well
as
one
of
Indy's
longtime
friends
have
been
captured
somewhere
in
Peru.
Mutt
and
Indy
hop
a
plane,
where
they
manage
to
track
down
both
Mutt's
mother,
Marian
(Karen
Allen),
and
Professor
Oxley
(John
Hurt),
but
they
also
find
themselves
surrounded
by
the
same
scheming
Russians.
The
Russians
have
found
the
artifact
they
were
seeking,
but
Indy
now
knows
its
secret
and
dangerous
powers.
With
the
help
of
Mutt,
Marian,
and
Oxley,
he
races
to
return
it
to
its
rightful
resting
place.
While
a
bit
more
grizzled
than
the
last
time
we
saw
him
cracking
his
whip,
Ford
still
manages
to
bring
the
right
mix
of
humor
and
swagger
to
Indy.
Longtime
fans
are
sure
to
love
the
many
inside
jokes
and
nods
to
the
previous
films,
as
well
as
the
reappearance
of
some
favorite
old
characters.
While
CRYSTAL
SKULL
has
the
same
exotic
locales
and
wild
chases
of
the
earlier
movies,
it
definitely
sets
itself
apart
with
its
heavy
use
of
CGI.
The
visuals
are
indeed
impressive,
but
some
might
feel
something
is
lost
when
Indy
can
outrun
an
atomic
bomb
just
as
easily
as
he
can
a
swarm
of
carnivorous
ants.
This
modern-day
Indy
is
easy
entertainment
with
some
fun
surprises,
but
it
will
likely
divide
diehard
fans
right
down
the
middle.
