me.....me.....me.....me!

Rating: 6/10 (9 January 2020)

This is about the 4th time I have watched this all the way thru. the older I get the more I see things not seen before. Mr Jones (senior) is a very selfish man who cares only for his research, knows nothing about the world and the people in it, including his own family. Michael Byrne has great fun as a nasty Nazi. Alison Doodys eyes give her character away as what is important to her-herself...but I wont spoil it for you if you haven't yet seen it. Julian Glover has his usual polish performance and always makes a good villain, but again "me me me" is all important to him and he willingly lets others do his dirty world. Not clear WHY Hitler would want the "Holy Grail", given that he destroys everything "Jewish" and the Grail cannot leave where they find it. All of this said, its a fun film, entertaining which shouldn't be taken too seriously. John Rhys-Davies doesn't have as an effective part as in the 1st one, but always good to have him in a film for what he adds, this one is no exception. Speilberg has done much better with other films. not one of his better ones in my view
