Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull- The latest Spielberg's over rated adventure flick, highly anticipated because of its secrecy before release, unfortunately turns out to be a huge flop! Many Movie goers, having a thing for Indy, apparently were found dozing off sitting on their seats!
Although Cate Blanchett looks and speaks English with a heavy accent which keeps one awake for a while, no scenes that can prevent Morpheus from taking over follow. Harrison Ford, with a fatherly image looks a bit out of place in the movie.
The theme of the movie could not be more silly and redundant. If not for viewing Indy's apparent charms, many people had gone to see the great directors skills divulged. But only disappointment awaited them. Apart from the initial chase and catch, the adventure movie is practically 'adventure' free. The movie goes on the lines of Indy being made to help search a powerful crystal skull for the Russian chief, Cate, left by extraterrestrials, which is to be restored back into a temple where other skulls await the leader skull's return. Finally when the skull is restored back to a temple, poor Cate Blanchett is burnt because she wanted knowledge as a gift from the ETs, and when she got it, it overwhelmed her!
The most boring and silly part is when the whole temple flies off as a saucer into alien world. The world expects a better ending and a bit more life from a great director. The movie leaves an unsatisfied bitter taste in the back of the tongue, if not for the heavy eyelids!
