No wonder the film series ended after this atrocity.

Rating: 1/10 (18 August 2003)

Raiders of the Lost Ark was perfect. Temple of Doom was okay, though gross. And this one..... well, it probably bombed at the box office now that I've seen this.
For the third film, the creators add in a new character to the series: Indy's father, played by Sean Connery. Unfortunately, this idiot, although a better archeologist than "Jr.," as he calls his son, winds up tripping the traps that Indiana does his best to avoid. He basically screws up nearly everything they try to do. I guess the writers decided he would make a great comic relief. He doesn't. And that look on Harrison Ford's face... it looks like he just wants this nightmare to end as soon as possible. He looks really bored. He just doesn't have the same magic he did when he first donned the hat eight years before. What a shame. Too bad the upcoming DVD contains all three films, including this one.
BOTTOM LINE: Thanks a lot, Jones Sr. Bow down so I can belt you one, and then take your place along with other franchise enders, like Jar Jar Binks and the Ewoks.
