Nice End to the Trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2009)

The third movie of the Indiana Jones franchise has many new things added than the earlier two versions of this cult series. This movie starts off with a teenage Indy in the year 1912 and makes us look at an event that molds his life and character as well as his relationship with his father, Henry played by legendary Sean Connery. We also learn he is a "Junior" and that he hates to be called that. The job in hand for Indy this time around is to find the "Holy Grail" of the time of Jesus Christ. Another motivation for Indy to take this expedition is that his father is lost searching for the same thing . This movie moves from New York to Venice, then from Germany to Alexandria. Yes, Indy encounters the Nazis once again in this movie as in the first edition of the movie. An addition to that is that he encounters the Fuhrer himself.
This is surely a better movie than it's previous edition, Temple of Doom. The lead actress in this movie is the best in the entire series, in looks I mean. Ford and Connery charm the audiences with their small father-son fights increasing the humor quotient of the movie which is such an integral part of Indiana Jones franchise. There are some scenes in the movie which makes you question your sanity but that can be considered as a part of cinematic liberties . Overall, a definite one time watch Rating : 7.5/10
