Consensus: Though the plot elements are certainly familiar, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still delivers the thrills and Harrison Ford's return in the title role is more than welcome.

Reviews for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Ford, like Spielberg, is completely in his comfort zone here. That means no risks, but in the case of The Crystal Skull, that kind of safety can still yield plenty of old-fashioned fun.
05/21/08
The movie's pretty good, occasionally very good. But I also kind of hope they don't make another one.
05/21/08
In the end, though, Crystal Skull feels too much like a retrospective.
05/21/08
While the production values are top-notch, and the action artfully choreographed, in the end -- and quite well before the end -- a sense of tedium sets in.
05/21/08
It's crammed full of the dash, filmmaking flair, swashbuckling magic, impossible stunts and tongue-in-cheek humor that made the series such a phenomenon of its time.
05/21/08
[It's] the most ridiculously cartoonish of the four flicks -- but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is still a lot of fun anyway.
05/21/08
The film, which is set in the late '50s, is bathed in a golden glow that instantly transports us to another era, an era when the movies thrilled us with the daring exploits of human beings, not binary codes.
05/21/08
The worst that can be said of Crystal Skull is that it won’t be inspiring any youthful vine-swinging. A shame, really.
05/21/08
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is as joyless as its predecessors were blissful.
05/21/08
Top CriticThe overall effect is either exhilarating or exhausting, depending on your emotional investment in the franchise, but credit where credit is due: Steven Spielberg and George Lucas set out to make one for the fans and delivered.
05/21/08
Better than Temple of Doom, but not as good as Raiders or Last Crusade . . .
05/21/08
The swashbuckling swings from the rafters, mad races in dueling jeeps, etc. are, to get right to the point, old fedora.
05/21/08
take this nostalgic "pathway to another dimension", and for two hours your mind, like Oxley's, will be blissfully empty.
05/21/08
Spielberg proves he still knows how to generate high-style thrills, and Ford affirms that he can yet deliver both a punch and a wry punchline.
05/21/08
Affectionately aimed at both the AARP crowd and those who grew up with Indy. Temper comparisons to the trilogy and take it on its own terms as a fun ride with a rejuvenated Harrison Ford and enough great action to trump a blah finale.
05/21/08
Delivers more or less what one would expect: a reunion with a few old friends amid disposable popcorn entertainment … Enjoy it for what it is, but don't hope for more.
05/21/08
When Spielberg makes an Indiana Jones movie, you can tell he still loves it. I guess I do, too. For the most part, anyway.
05/21/08
Experiência similar a um reencontro com um velho amigo: inicialmente, o prazer da reunião é contagiante, mas, depois de duas horas, percebemos que não há razão para mantermos a velha amizade viva no presente.
05/20/08
Dispelling all fears about age and ability, Harrison Ford puts on that legendary fedora and becomes Indiana Jones again, exactly as we remember him.
