Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Finally it is showing on screens world wide. 20 years after the last instalment, but most can say the fifth one with Ford as the main character probably won't be possible. Rumours was saying that the transformer kid might take up the main role in the next sequel.

IJ movies are famous for its impressive action sequences/stunts and probably its witty dialogues. Not that these wasn't found in this movie but somehow it was trying to hard,some dialogues sounded like best line from the worst. Action sequence was draggy without elevating to the next level, like hoping it to end.

And also how it carry you through the whole movie like sitting tight in a roller coaster ride. Somehow, this one was draggy here and there. I was trying to keep myself awake as well, not sure if it was because quite tired these few days.

This time, IJ came up against the Soviet Union agents, led by Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko.

It was the Ark of the Convenant first, then Sankara Stone, then the Holy Grail ... the latest is the Crystal Skull.

The one who return it to the Temple of Akator will be given supreme psychic power. With so many SV agents, IJ team up with his old flame from the first movie and his son, the transformer kid.

Finally, it all ended up in the temple where as usual it must confirm, surely, definitely, die die, no doubt, you bet that it will caved in. An UFO appear from the caved in temple, thought I was watching the new X-file movie.

Anyway, not the best of the series. 7/10
