I'll answer the most important question first. Yes, there is a Wilhelm scream in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Nineteen years later, he’s cracking his whip again, and many things have changed ... but some have remained the same. Again, the world is at a precipice, this time caused by the specter of nuclear annihilation, and Indy’s struggle is once again to ensure that a precious, mysterious object remains safe from those bent on destroying humanity. --© Paramount Pictures [More]

Reviews for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- the fourth movie about Henry Jones, Jr. -- is as comfortable as an old shoe. Or an old hat. Actually it is old hat. It's comfortable, but it's also worn and slack.
Although it carries a certain level of slickness to it, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shows that although the times have changed - both in the film and for the viewing audience - Indiana Jones hasn't. And that's a problem.
...playful and entertaining, even if it looks, deliberately, as though we've seen it all before.
Give me an aged archaeologist with a whip any day over a gun-toting secret agent sipping Martinis under the code-name of 007.
When it's good it's great, and when it's bad, it's a typical Lucas misfire.
A colossal disappointment by any measure, this latest Indiana Jones film focuses in on the character weaknesses of its creators George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
ena dioro ypertheama gemato entasi kai drasi hortastiki, apolaystiki ki aksiomnimoneyti oso tin proti fora, poy dikaionei tin katagogi tis anabionontas tin, kai kerdizei aksia mia thesi stin dipla stin thryliki trilogia tis
Normally it's a terrible thing if a film only gives us one good character ... except when it's Indiana Jones, with a whip at his side. A terrible story can't totally ruin Jones. Thank God.
Packed with fights and chases--but then so were the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. The worst Steven Spielberg popcorn flick since 1941.
They just don't make them like they used to, and depending on which category you fall into, that's either a bad or good thing.
[Speilberg] is no longer a young director, and nowhere is that more apparent than in his approach to this Indy.
The pace is a bit lethargic, and the film also suffers from the usual Spielberg Achilles' heel of many, many false endings.
Harrison Ford played a passable Indiana Jones, but he seemed to have lost his joie de vivre ... although it is an enjoyable fast-moving adventure movie ... I'd seen it before.
If you want to wonder who built two twin roads through the Amazon, or how come Indy and his troop survive not one but three trips over the waterfall without a bruise, then go to another movie.
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull lives up to its hype and offers plenty of classic Indy moments.
