Enjoy yourself!

When you climb aboard a roller coaster, you pretty much know what you’re in for. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, like all of the Indy movies, is that kind of breathless,bumpy ride. Part of the fun is seeing older Indy, who now is more willing to accept his real name. He’s also more willing to allow himself to love. Part of the fun is the non-stop action. Yeah, we know Indy and company are going to get beaten up - a lot - but sometimes crazy and implausible is better. Ford is still Indy, Karen Allen is still able to match him, and Shia LeBoeuf brings a freshness to the romp. And I never recognized John Hurt, whose performance is amazing. The special effects are incredible -literally. And the ending - the one at the college, not the Mayan temple - is satisfying.

This is all brain candy, so sit back, relax with a barrel of popcorn, and have a good time. Sometimes you just want to be entertained.
