The bottom line is fun

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2005)

When I think of the Indiana Jones movies, "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" was the best, but its sequels were great fun. In 1989, when "Last Crusade" was released, I had some sadness because I knew it was going to be the last of the trilogy.
I accepted it, just as I had accepted the ending of the original "Star Wars" trilogy. There always comes a time for things to end.
Still, I thought "Last Crusade" was the weakest of the films. I enjoyed "Temple Of Doom" more, with its edge of your seats excitement.
It is fun, but almost requires seeing the other Jones movies first. It has some of the same silliness as the others. I am a Sean Connery fan, but having him as Indiana Jones' dad was almost too much. Still, it brings plenty of smiles. It figures that Indiana Jones' father would be James Bond!
Go ahead; have fun with it.
