INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL
It is 1957. The Nazis are all dead and gone, and the new villains are the Russians. The film opens in Area 51, where a Russian agent named Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchette) has kidnapped Jones and forced him to help her uncover some secret military artifacts. After a daring escape, Jones returns home to find the U.S. Army questioning him and his colleagues about Communist involvement. Jones is then visited by a young punk named Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf) who asks for Indy’s help in tracking down an old professor who was searching for the lost city of El Dorado, and a crystal skull that will unlock its secrets. Reluctantly, Indy helps him and starts on an international search for the legendary skull, with the Russians hot on their tail.
LIAM’S REVIEW
What Liam expected: A huge adventure.
What Liam liked: When the bad guys get eaten by red ants.

Grade: ROCKS.
KEVIN’S REVIEW
What Kevin expected: An updated version of the earlier films, giving a nod to Harrison Ford’s age.
What Kevin liked: Being only a child when the first films came out, Kevin was completely swept into the experience. He loved the adventure again, even if it felt a bit dated, and the flavor of the series was maintained.
What Kevin didn’t like: Admittedly, there were some weird moments, like the infamous Tarzan scene, nuking the ‘fridge and the Area 51 angle.
Grade: ROCKS.
