Latest 'Indiana Jones' film well worth waiting for

Director: Steven Spielberg

Cast: Harrison Ford, Shia Labeouf, Karen Allen, Cate Blanchett

The fine details of the plot of 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' have been kept a closely-guarded secret but in some ways it hardly matters since the joy lies in the telling.

Here Indy, returning to the screen after a remarkable 20-year absence and again with Ford as a still energetic adventurer, sets out to find the skull before the baddies do.

That’s all you need to know since how he tackles the task is the all-important factor - and he does it with lots of thrilling action and dry humour.

It’s the perfect send off to the summer blockbusters, a film that never stints on the excitement and entertainment value. Quite brilliant it is, in fact.

Blanchett makes a terrific baddie and there’s the hint of a possible son of Indy.

Simply don’t miss it, Indy was well worth waiting for.

Star Rating: 5/5
