Impressive

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 1998)

The Last Crusade is an adventure film that will always remain a sign of the good ol' days. ( AKA not the 90's ) It is a great film, although a bit along the same lines as Raiders ( with a guy "melting" and all as the climax ) it is nonetheless exciting. Sean Connery is great as Henry Jones, and he's hialrious too. True, there is a lot of humour in this film, which can sometimes detract from the excitement, but the overall effect is fun and thrills. Though not as impressively executed as Raiders, with some effects that are actually worse, the film is still a perfect demonstration of Spielberg's direction (e.g. the shadow turning on the blimp signalling to Indy that the blimp is heading back for Germany ). Overall, a reliable choice that deserves a place in your video library beside Raiders. 9/10
