Great fun for fans of the Indiana Jones series.

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2008)

Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) finds himself in a unexpected quest, when he's been asked by a mysterious collector (Julian Glover) to find the Cup of Christ. But Indiana doesn't quite believe in the Holy Grail expect his father (Oscar-Winner:Sean Connery). Who's been obsessed for years to find the mystery. But his father Henry Jones is missing, he was last seen in Venice. Now Indiana and Dr. Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliot) are in search for the Holy Grail with the help of a history researcher (Alison Doody) & also to find Indiana's father. But they find themselves head to head with the Nazis are searching for the Holy Grail as well.
Directed by three-time Oscar Winner:Steven Spielberg (Jaws, Munich, Saving Private Ryan) made an entertaining, although somewhat familiar adventure to the popular "Indiana Jones" series. What made this one special is the father and son bond by Connery and Ford. They are both good in the movie and funny as well. The third film also has an amusing prologue with the young Indiana Jones character played by the late River Phoenix. There's an fun great gag at the end, why Henry Jones Jr. (Indy) is called Indiana.
DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Which this DVD is digitally remastered for THX in Superior Sound and Picture Quality. This DVD has no special features expect for the recent re-issue DVD... just recently. The Box Set from the Bonus DVD does have an documentary about the third film, four featurettes and trailers. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" is truly enjoyable for fans of the movies and fans of Connery or Ford will truly have fun with the Father & Son relationship in the picture. It was the second highest grossing film of 1989, "Batman" was in first place in that year. Don't miss it. Screenplay by the late Jeffery Boam (The Dead Zone, Innerspace, The Lost Boys). From a Story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes (Max). Actually Oscar-Winner screenwriter:Tom Stoppard (Brazil, Empire of the Sun, Shakespeare in Love) re-wrote much of the screenplay but he's uncredited. Panavision. (****/*****).
