Was Indy always this cheesy? I can deal with aliens, but Shia La Beef swinging from vines? Give it up.

A passable entry in the Indiana Jones series, though it is a little disappointing. The action is fun and there is plenty of humor. However, it doesn't feel quite like a true Indy movie. Without giving anything away, (but you do get this feel fairly early on anyway) it's much more Sci-Fi than the previous Indy movies have been. The original trilogy was all about mystical objects that had magical or theological powers. Here it isn't so much magic as science.

The worst Indiana movie, but one could not expect different in my opinion. Lame ending, over-the-top-action and a story it's hard to appreciate... Still it's a good time in the cinema, and I guess this makes us appreciate the other movies more!

Although the film made me remember my childhood, I can't believe it. I had a good time, but I'd prefer the old ones.

It's really not all that different from the originals; the only thing it lacks is the nostalgia factor.

It's the fourth best Indy film, the other three are all classics so it hard hard task to better those films. With Mr Ford getting on a bit he did a great job. There were some good chase scenes though, the one just after Indy met Mutt sticks in my mind as classic Indy. One down point was the CGI, it wasn't great, perhaps it was overdone in places. the ants looked a bit dodgy. Still entertaining though.

Very underrated. Great Blanchett. BAD visual effects.

a big disappointment. i wonder how Darabont's screenplay was.

I liked the bugs.

"To expect ANY movie to live up to the Raiders standard is simply unfair, but Crystal Skull fits very excellently next to both Temple of Doom and Last Crusade."

None of the characters were really convincing (Ford is too old for this) and the dialogues were laughably bad. At times, I didn't know if John Hurt was playing a retard or a mental patient, and no wait, yep monkeys fighting the russians, and last but not least: is that a spaceship ? Cut to my mind: "that's it, I'm outta here". Shame on you Lucas for making a profit seeking film and I can't believe I'm gonna say this but Spielberg lost it (btw I loved the 1st and 3rd one). Sadly disappointed...

I wanted to like this movie more. I really did. It had a lot of good things going on, and did maintain the overall spirit of Indy. I had a hard time with the ending (or, rather, the big climactic scene near the end; I thought the actual "ending" was okay.) I think it would have been better if they left things more mysterious, rather than "revealing" everything. (Apparently this was a big bone of contention between Lucas and Spielberg, according to rumors.) It's okay. Just not great.

Boring, stupid, dull and pointless.

Art department did a real good job but that's the only good thing to say about this one. The story is just ridiculous, the jokes are lame and I'm sorry to say this, but Harrison is just too old... And the worst part is not even the UFO (which is terrible) but Shia LaBeouf. He's supposed to look like a James Dean/Brando kinda guy but he's just awful...

Over the top...Just like Temple of Doom?! The story is absolute trash, the only thing really holding on here is Harrison Ford, who IS Indiana Jones

I have held off reviewing this film, even though I saw it when it came out. A fourth movie needed to be made, but it was too long of a wait. There was no way they could have met expectations. Ford is now approaching "crumudgonly" status and Lebeouf is just over exposed lately. The movie is adequately written, if not contrived, and everyone looked like they were having fun (Karen Allen was very good). Indy fans should see this - but you may be disappointed.

Entertaining and cool, but I could go on and on about how much of a let-down it is. The over-use of CG is AWFUL. I cannot stand what they've done to this franchise. It could've been amazing. The WHIP is CG in one scene. Don't do that!

Ah, Indy. He's a bit older, the lighting is a touch too bloomy, there are a few CGI animals too many, but he's still Indy, and I got a retro rush out of watching him battle Commies and man-eating ants and natives and chase on jeeps and survive nuclear explosions and explore tombs and crack wise, so I heartily enjoyed it.

Terrible. What made the 1st and 3rd movies likeable was the fact that you could imagine most of the events actually happening. Everything in this movie was random, unebelievable, and CG-ridden. Top that off with some un-funny slapstick humor/animal humor for the kiddies, some uninspired acting, and a juvenile script. Almost as good as the Mummy II.

Bad ending

Good, but nothing new. Cate Blanchett is hot, as always.

indiana jones and the nine lives

Burn in hell Lucas.

survives a nuclear detonation

The action scenes are pretty fun, and the bullet ants are a great side-villain. However, adding Shia Lebouf to the cast was a terrible mistake, and the ending felt extremely lame and rushed.

Empezó muy bien... decayó sobre el final...en un momento me lo confundí con Moulder de X-Files
