The Franchise Gets Back to Its Roots and Dominates Again

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2000)

"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" is the third film in the series and is very close, in terms of greatness, to the original. This time Indiana (Harrison Ford) goes after the holy grail, a remnant that the pre-World War II Nazis are trying to obtain. Sean Connery co-stars as Indiana's father and adds a great wrinkle to the series. The screenplay is not quite as good as the original's, but the excitement and interest is kept at a fevered-pitch throughout. Once again Spielberg's direction is the key element that makes the film an overall success. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
