Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) - 6.1
Act 1 - 6.3
Act 2 - 5.4
Act 3 - 6.5
I think this is the best of the original 3 films
Very over the top action and performances take me out of the film
A lot of corny moments but still has its moments that can inspire adventure
1912 see young Indie showing us he's the same person he's always been and how he got his start, played by River Phoenix
Cut to present time 1938 and Indie is trying to reclaim the cross we saw in the opening sequence
Indiana seems to be famous now
Walter Donovan shows Indiana a tablet that talks about the Holy Grail and that's what Indiana's father was after
Indiana's father is the man who has disappeared searching fo true Grail
Indiana find the second marker with Dr. Schneider and and attacked by people in red hats who turn out to be protectors of the Grail who only want it to remain a secret
Finds out where his father is
Relationship between Jones and Schneider is super corny
Start of second act we finally meet Indiana's dad played by Sean Connery and he is in a castle being held captive by Nazis
Schneider is found out to be a Nazi and the man who employed Jones, Donovan is also working with the Nazis, Indiana and his father are held captive
Dumb popcorn action that doesn't hold up anymore
A lot of the dialogue is poor as well
In Berlin moment with Indiana and Hitler is pretty amusing
Terrible green screen with the zeppelin
Third act everybody arrives at the location of the Grail, Indiana, the Nazis and the protectors of the Grail
Long drawn out action sequences that just aren't good anymore
Indiana gets the Grail and uses it to save his fathers life after he drinks it himself to see if it was the right Grail
Saves dad and Donovan is dead from drinking out of the wrong cup and Dr. Schneider brings the cup past the exit point and the temple begins to collapse and the cup gets lost
Her greed gets her killed
Revealed that Indiana and his dad have the same name and took his name from the dog
They rode off on horseback and the film ends
Not sure if they have eternal life or not, not very clear on that
