It's crammed full of the dash, filmmaking flair, swashbuckling magic, impossible stunts and tongue-in-cheek humor that made the series such a phenomenon of its time, and -- for those versed in its traditions -- almost every frame is enjoyable on some level.
Nineteen years after their last adventure, director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford have no trouble getting back in the groove with a story and style very much in keeping with what has made the series so perennially popular.

Although controversial, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is my personal favorite Indiana Jones film, combining the historical and fantasy elements with science fiction. It was spielberg's last Indiana Jones film, and would’ve been a great enough end to this landmark franchise.

Close Encounters meet Indiana Jones?, hell yeah!, i love it, it took 18 years since The Last Crusade, Spielberg's take a seat in the director's chair again which is pretty rare for a franchise that have been uncontinue for that long, with a technology improvement, 66 years old Harrison Ford that still killin' it, the returning of Marion, and Shia LaBeouf and Cate Blanchett amazing job, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was a blast, i have a lot of fun and a good time watching it, it is the first (as of right now) perfect movie franchise that i watch, with this one in the second place out of four, it's an amazing movie and only Spielberg that can do it, only Spielberg.

The overall effect is either exhilarating or exhausting, depending on your emotional investment in the franchise, but credit where credit is due: Steven Spielberg and George Lucas set out to make one for the fans and delivered.
There are scenes in the new movie that seem like stretching exercises at a retirement home; there are garrulous stretches, and even the title seems a few words too long. But once it gets going, Crystal Skull delivers smart, robust, familiar entertainment.
Even with the ponderous dialogue, it's hard not to have fun on this adventure, and it's good to see that Indy, though slightly weary, still has the goods.
No mainstream filmmaker since Orson Welles can touch Steven Spielberg when it comes to camera movement and composition--or, more precisely, to composition that gets more vivid as the camera moves...It's the work of a man with film storytelling in his blood. What a bummer when the story he has to tell is a cosmic nothing.
It's hard to tell whether Spielberg and Lucas are trying too hard or trying at all--the thing's such a mess, such an unmitigated disaster, that damned is the scholar stuck with the unfortunate task of deciphering this cynical, clinical gibberish in decades to come.

I genuinely like this movie! I agree that the CGI is overused and distracting and there are some silly moments but for me, they don’t detract from what is ultimately an enjoyable ride that still has the spirit of Indiana Jones. I don’t know, these movies should just be fun and I think this one is!

Say what you want to say about this movie, but you got to admit it was trying to be creative. Mutt was a OK sidekick/son to Indiana Jones.
