Grand Silliness

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2004)

I loved this movie. Harrison Ford is great as Indiana Jones. It is basically a comic book movie that doesn't take itself seriously. There are no shades of gray in this movie, either. The bad guys are bad, and the good guys are good. George Lucas understands what a movie like this needs to be. It is a thrill ride. There are surprises with the special effects, and surprises with the dialog through the whole movie, but the story line is very predictable.
But that's OK...it's like going on your favorite roller coaster over and over again. You know when the twists and turns are coming, but it doesn't lessen the thrill you feel going through them.
