\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve heard a few negative reviews of the “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull<\/a>“, so I wasn’t particularly rushing to see it.\u00a0 I have the box set DVD collection of all previous Indy films and I’ve seen them a few times by now – they are good, but the age shows.\u00a0 I like them, but you can’t call me a fan yet.\u00a0 With that, I went to the movies today.<\/p>\n

I have to say that I really enjoyed the film.\u00a0 It was in exactly the same style as previous ones, but a bit refreshed.\u00a0 I think it feels exactly like the other ones felt back when they were just released.\u00a0 However if this film was shown 20 years ago, it would have blown the minds of a much wider audience.<\/p>\n

In short, the film has everything it should have had – Spielberg’s directing, Ford’s acting, tonnes of action, a quest for something cool, much greater scale than anybody can imagine, and a few jokes here and there.\u00a0 Good value for money and not a time waster.<\/p>\n

One thing that I particularly liked, how it was done for the PG-13 rating.\u00a0 There is a lot of action and a lot of people get killed in a lot of different ways, but there is no focus on that.\u00a0 There is not much blood or suffering.\u00a0 The scariest of the dead bodies are in bones, all over catacombs full of treasure – something you can’t take away from an adventure movie.\u00a0 Family-friendly and kids-recommended.<\/p>\n

Overall, quality entertainment.\u00a0 8 out of 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
