Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
It surprises me that
Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is less than a month away and we still haven't seen another trailer for it yet. Does Paramount expect us to enter theaters with absolutely no information on the film's story? It looks like it, as we don't even have a real synopsis for the film just yet.
What we do have, however, is a screening report for the film that claims Indy IV is the best (Indy) sequel to date.
Screening Report: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I don't want to get overly hyped up, but a screening report for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has surfaced online and there are enough good mentions to kick up the heart a beat or two.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull "is the best of the Indy sequels," he declares. "Steven Spielberg's helming puts the imitators (The Mummy, National Treasure) to shame. There are many breakneck set pieces, with a protracted jungle chase being particularly memorable. As well as being evocative of the truck chase from the first movie.
Harrison Ford, he claims, "gives his best performance in the role, not only physically belying his age but layering in welcome poignancy. More than before, audiences will be rooting for Indy. Shia LaBeouf makes essential contributions. Chemistry between he and Ford is palpable, yielding some nice character comedy.
(and here's why we don't have a synopsis or feature trailer)
"Hopefully, the surprises in this film can continue to be guarded. Eventually, these spoilers will get out, but it would be shameful for reviewers and bloggers to reveal an ending that any longtime diehard fan of the films could only dream about. Expect a particularly resounding reaction in the theater.
