I did make it to see the 4th Indy movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Yes, parts of the plot were predictable, but these are some of my favorite movies, and I love them. There's Star Wars, then there's Indy! I'm a George Lucas fan boy, what can I say? The directing and cinematography are both top notch and as usual the musical score by John Williams makes the movie just drip with adventure.
I won't give away any spoilers or anything but suffice it to say that the first twenty minutes of this latest Indy movie were fantastic. Spielberg and Lucas are spot on with the way things were in the late 1950's (the movie was set in 1957). Nuclear testing, the "red scare", the greasers, the preps. If you grew up in the 1950's or enjoy history you will enjoy this movie.
Quite honestly, I was worried that this Indy was going to be nothing but a relentless string of "I'm too old for this shit" jokes. There is the one joke at the beginning and that's pretty much it. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a movie that will stand the test of time just as the previous Indiana Jones' movies have. I recommend it. Go spend your money.
