I was aware at all times that I watching a new Indiana Jones movie. I literally couldn’t believe how lucky I was. My favorite was The Last Crusade (hush all you Raiders fanatics! I saw that one last, give me a break!) and I’ve always wanted to see another one. Rumors abounded through the years. Turns out all we had to do was wait.So, let’s get it out of the way. Yes, Harrison Ford looks old. So does Karen Allen. It’s because they are, let it go. From the first appearance of Indiana Jones on screen (in shadow, placing fedora on head) I was lost in my joy. Very shortly he is reunited with a whip and the fun begins. Spielberg and Lucas threw in a little new blood with Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams, and I found him to be a very welcome addition. He’s the greaser stereotype, complete with motorcycle and comb.
I can’t talk too much about it because of those silly spoilers, but I really enjoyed the movie. Much like the regret you feel for the many years Marion and Indiana were seperated, I too felt regret for being seperated from new installments of the franchise. All those years wasted. And before I get the snarky emails about the artifact and its origins, please keep in mind that the first three films were also so firmly based in reality. It’s fun to watch and it looks fantastic. If you enjoyed the previous films, you’ll like this one as well. Don’t expect it to reinvent the series; enjoy it for exactly what it was - whip, hat, a car chase, well timed sarcastic comments, and that amazing John Williams theme.

And that amazing looking Harrison Ford. I don’t care if he’s 800 years old. The man is still hothothot.
