    4 stars Not as good as the other ones, sadly. , August 1, 2008
    After reading the reviews of this movie, I finally rented it and well, I didn't think it was as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or Temple of Doom. I mean, don't get me wrong it's a good movie, but it was kinda ya know talky at times, ya know, adult conversations, lol. This takes place in 1938, two years after Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ah well, it wasn't dissapointing at all, it just didn't give the same good feeling as the other movies. Everybody says this was better than Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And I thought "Really?". So I decided to go with my own opinion. So, see Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and the Last Crusade.
    5 stars Go Harrison Ford, July 22, 2008
    This movie is a classic, a must own,it puts Ford in the top ten actors,of all time.
    5 stars Best sequel of the series., June 18, 2008

    In 1938, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) has discovered a diary and a map that can lead to the holy grail of Christ. Unfortunately his father Henry (Sean Connery) has been kidnapped by the Nazis as he heads to Venice where he meets up with a gorgeous nazi woman named Dr. Elsa Schnedier (Allison Doody) and private collector Walter Donovan (Julian Glover) to help rescue Henry. After they have rescued Henry, they must try to find the Holy Grail before the Nazis do cause the Nazis want to take over the world with super nazis if they were granted the powers.

    Brilliant sequel that manages to improve over the dark and gruesome "Temple of Doom" and just as good as the first installment. This is a very entertaining sequel with all the goods like great acting especially from the late River Phoenix and John Rhys-Davis as Sallah, fantastic special effects like the amazing death of Donovan, action, a little romance and of course humor. This is a great movie from both Steven Spielburg and George Lucas as they made a truly solid installment that is very satisfying.

    This DVD contains excellent picture and sound with good extras like an introduction by Spielburg and Lucas, three featurettes, photo galleries and a DVD-rom PC Lego Indiana Jones demo.

    5 stars Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Review, June 18, 2008
    With a plot reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the third Indiana Jones installment sees the return of a winning formula.

    It's 1912 and young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix) risks his life to save Coronado's Cross. But his father (Sean Connery) is not impressed. We jump to 1938 and Indy (Harrison Ford) discovers that his father has gone missing while searching for the Holy Grail, a cup endowed with miraculous powers due to Jesus having drunk from it before his crucifixion. Off to Venice, where Indy is followed by a secret brotherhood, dedicated to maintaining the secret of the Grail. Indy finds his father, but Nazis kidnap them both. They escape to Berlin to find a missing diary and (literally) run into Hitler. After fleeing an airship and engaging in a dogfight, father and son head to the desert to beat the Nazis to the Grail. After a remarkable chase with a tank, Indy's dad is shot and must get to the Grail in order to save his father's life.

    The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is fun to watch. Both actors have impeccable timing and are obviously enjoying themselves. And unlike Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, in which Indy's sidekicks were overall annoying, Connery's character is a worthy companion and foil. Since father and son have a past, you care about their relationship.

    This installment also includes the return Indiana Jones' milder mannered side -- a hero who can be tremendously awkward when not battling bad guys or untangling ancient mysteries.

    Much of the movie's success is due to a tongue-in-cheek attitude, signaled right from the start when young Indy -- played by an intense River Phoenix -- can't find the rest of his Scout troop and loudly declares that "everyone is lost but me."

    Ahh, that's the Indiana Jones we know and love.

    Although nothing can beat the first 10 minutes of Raiders, here we get answers to some burning questions: Why is Indiana terrified of snakes? Why the fedora? And how did he get that scar on his chin? Finally, we even learn Indiana's real name!

    5 stars But the Dogs Name Was Indiana!, June 7, 2008
    The Last Crusade recaptured the fun and excitement of the first Indiana Jones movie with a father son pair-up that is both genius and funny. James Bond and Indiana Jones together...now there's a dynamic duo! What is especially ironic is that Spielberg was inspired to have a cloak and dagger plot in the Indiana Jones series that was born from a love the James Bond films.

    Harrison Ford brings Indiana Jones back to life with an amazing performance. But this time we get to see a bit of the little boy who is trying to impress his father. A couple of the most enjoyable parts of the movie are when Indiana does something that he is proud of and looks to his father for approval...only to gets a look of disdain!

    Sean Connery has always been one of my favorite actors ever since the early days of Bond. A true mans man and a ladies man. He seems to be as comfortable in a suit as wresting in the mud. Connery gives a stunning performance in the Last Crusade as a driven man in search of the Holy Grail who deeply loves his son, but as with many fathers, is clumsy at expressing that love. One of the great lines of the movie came when Connery confronts his son about the origin of his adventurous name when he says in typical Connery fashion: "The dogs name was Indiana!"

    There are many memorable scenes. We get to find out why Indy hates snakes. In the opening of the movie the young Indy (played by River Phoenix) falls into a circus train car full of snakes...and hates them ever after. Who can blame him! Another memorable scene is when Indiana comes face to face with Hitler (at a rally in Berlin) who signs the critical journal Indy is holding.

    The plot is about a quest for the Holy Grail that has incalculable value and magical powers to bring long...long life. The plot twists and turns, frightens and delights as our heroes get closer to the final prize. In one of the final twists of the plot Indian must "Choose Wisely" to save his father's life and not losing his own!

    Overall a great addition to the Indiana Jones collection!
