You always get this déjà vu with hyped movies and you always enter the hall knowing that your expectations are going to come crashing down. Coming back together of Lucas, Spielberg and Ford was the USP of the film, Ford did his part, the other two let us down.
All though the hype was high for Indi – 4, knowing the star casts age you could guess that there was not much they can do with the action set pieces which the earlier Indies were famous for. They made up for it with some excellent one liner for Ford, some of them early in the movie letting us know that they are old and things have changed.
Lucas and Spielberg’s movies are known for their technical excellence, they were the technical excellence period, and not here though, this should be something of a nadir for their careers. Lucas story line sucked right through the prequels of Star Wars and it continues here.
The biggest problem for me was the lack of suspense; we always knew what was coming next. Some of the scenes were just modified from earlier movies like The Mummy. Little said about the Crystal Skull and the climax of the movie the better. Most of the time, the nostalgia carried me through the movie more then anything else.
The movie ends with pointers to Indiana Junior taking up the baton from his father, although nothing bad that I could come up with Le Bouf, I felt he lacked the charisma of Ford.
