Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Released date: 24 May 1989
Running Time: 2hr. 7 mins
Genres: Action, Adventure
Director: Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall
Producer: George Lucas, Frank Marshall, Robert Watts, Arthur Repola
Starring: Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliot, John Rhys Davies




Read Synopsis:

It's 1938 and Indy (Harrison Ford) receives word that his archaeologist dad, Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery), has disappeared while on a quest for the Holy Grail. Indy embarks on a search for both his dad and the much-coveted artifact. THE LAST CRUSADE has a unique twist to the series' traditional opening-sequence cliffhanger. Actor River Phoenix plays an adolescent Indy who, while on a field trip with his Boy Scout troop, finds adventure on a circus train. Spielberg wanted to make the film about a father-and-son relationship, and Connery was his first choice to play Indy's dad. The selection was perfect, considering Spielberg and producer George Lucas first came up with the idea of the series as a rival to the James Bond movies in which Connery had starred. Before shooting THE LAST CRUSADE, Spielberg was planning on directing RAIN MAN with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise but gave up the project to fulfill his contractual obligation with Lucas to make a third Indiana Jones movie.

It's hilarious! It's thrilling! It's entertaining!

In this movie journey to find the Holy Grail forced Indiana Jones to deal with Nazi once, including got signature from the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler!

This sequel still has the trio that made the two previous of Indiana Jones, plus a great actor, an actor that famous as Mr.Bond, Sean Connery. His role as Indiana Jones' father and as an old historian were really suited with him. And, I think the light humor that presented by Sean Connery and Harrison Ford was comparable with TV comedy.

But, the story that include a group of people who kill anyone in order to protect the Holy Grail and the story of the three brothers of knight might invite queries of facts, if not complaints, from Christian believers.

Verdict:

I think it's the best sequel from last three Indiana Jones sequel. Worth to watch a few times. :)

This movie storyline doesn't have anything to do at all with its predecessor, Appleseed. The only things remains the same are the main characters.

The storyline is too simple as compared to the first movie. One thing extraordinary is the fact that Miuccia Prada, Yes...you heard it! the lady behind Miu-Miu and Prada brand, designed two outfits for Deunan. She actually mentioned that she watched and like the first movie very much that she wants to be part of the second.

If you like the first movie, chances are you might like this one as well however do not expect complex story here. Just enjoy the shotting spree and the explosions. I do recommend you to enjoy the first battle scene in church. That is my most favorite battle scene in this installment.

Do you like watching Gundam with all its intrigues and storyline? If you do, you might want to let your eyes feast on this one. This is one of the many animes about cyborgs, robots and the far future.

Very good animation with smooth moves and awesome characters. The storyline is great, forcing us to think a little bit. Too bad, it doesn't hit the cinemas in my country, Singapore. Fortunately I can still enjoy it 3 years after its release.

Even though, the movie is not as popular as its hollywood counterparts products like Shark Tales, Flushed away, and the rest, I still think it deserves a thumbs up due to its artwork and creative storyline. It would be even greater if it is expanded to become a series but, all in all, it is a really good movie.
