Famed archaeologist Dr Henry "Indiana" Jones is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind the Crystal Skulls.
Rewind to 1981 when Indiana Jones burst onto the cinema screens and blew the cobwebs out of the movie business. Fast forward to 2008 and "Indy" is back. The movie business has moved on but Indiana Jones hasn't. BUT that isn't a bad thing because Indiana Jones has everything we've come to know and love from this movie franchise. Creepy crawlies, plunging waterfalls, death defying action scenes that are so ludicrous and yet so much fun to watch we don't care. Okay, there's perhaps too much CGI and the storyline is flimsy but we can't help but marvel at the intricate openings to doors and caves and the way Indiana drops over monumental waterfalls and still manages to keep his hat on. This movie is fast paced action and good, clean family fun. And when Indy's fedora blows to the feet of his son "Mutt" (played by Shia LeBeouf) we wonder if he will take up the mantle. We hope so.
