The Indy Trilogy Ends Strong

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2014)

When Dr. Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery) suddenly goes missing while pursuing the Holy Grail, eminent archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) must follow in his father's footsteps and stop the Nazis.
The general consensus is that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is the best Indiana Jones film, "Temple of Doom" was a disappointment, and this one was the redeemer: not as good as "Raiders" (but close), and better than "Temple". Now, in fairness, "Temple" is probably better than generally given credit, but the overall order is correct.
The Nazi villains here are among the nastiest, the plot is weaving in the way that we want from an Indy film... and the object of their search? Well, how can you ever get better than the Holy Grail? (The original script called for the Fountain of Youth... maybe someday we will see that.)
