"it came as a surprise to many people in Cannes that the
film was so entertaining. Swashes were buckled, rips were roared
and sticks were slapped."
Mark
Savage - BBC
"Mythology, science-fantasy a dynamite mix in new ‘Jones’
movie."
Michael
H. Price - timesleader.com
"Indy 4 is a nicely satisfying continuation of
the franchise, and will please most Indy fans."
Kim
Voynar - Cinematical
"It's not that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the
Crystal Skull, exhumed after 19 years to be the fourth in
this series, is bad, exactly. But it's undeniably creaky."
David
Gritten - The Daily Telegraph
"This is a slick, fun film that has by no means sacrificed
the fast action beats of the first three."
Damon
Wise - Empire Online
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crustal Skull feels
simultaneously self-conscious and self-satisfied."
James
Rocchi - Cinematical
"Begins with an actual big bang, then gradually slides toward
a ho-hum midsection before literally taking off for an uplifting
finish."
Todd
McCarthy - Variety
"It's like a fond reunion with an old friend and will not
disappoint diehard fans or deter a new generation from embracing
it as a summer blockbuster adventure ride."
Allan
Hunter - Screen International
"It's not the best movie of all time but Kingdom of
the Crystal Skull is a thrilling, thoroughly enjoyable romp
that should please even the most devout fans of Steven Spielberg
and George Lucas' franchise."
Roger
Friedman - FOXNews.com
"The eagerly awaited fourth chapter is not a great film
by any standard, but mixing conventions of all 1950s genres (sci-fi,
adventure, and even horror and spy), it delivers the goods to
the fans in a mass spectacle package that's a good old-fashioned
fun."
Emanuel
Levy - EmanuelLevy.Com
"There are some nice moments, and everything is good-natured
enough. But this is a moment for Harrison Ford to hang up the
hat."
Peter
Bradshaw - Guardian.co.uk
"A lot of the picture veers uneasily between solemnity
and slapstick and 47 different genres."
Michael
Phillips - Chicago Tribune
"Welcome back Indy. Lord knows we’ve missed you."
James
Christopher - The Times
"The magic is still there, only you have to work a little
harder to make yourself believe this time."
Leah
Rozen - People Magazine
"So was it worth the wait? ...Absolutely."
The
Sun
"There's joy and a middle-aged playfulness to the best
of Steven Spielberg's unlikely sequel. And I mean that as a full
compliment."
Lisa
Schwarzbaum - Entertainment Weekly
"Once it gets going, Crystal Skull delivers smart,
robust, familiar entertainment."
Richard
Corliss - TIME Magazine
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
gets swamped in a sea of stunts and CGI that are relentless as
the scenes and character relationships are charmless."
