Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE - May 16, 2008 (Fourth or Fifth Viewing)
Like Temple of Doom, this has a hard time measuring up to the high standard set by Raiders, but really, it would have been impossible to top that film. This is probably the strongest of the two sequels, and features all the rollicking action and humour that the series is known for. It's definitely the most light-hearted of the three films, but it works (and special praise must go to the moment where Indy's cohorts think that he's gone off a cliff, and he comes walking up behind them -- I haven't laughed that hard in a long time). Sean Connery is a welcome addition to the series; he definitely has really good chemistry with Harrison Ford. ****
