Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [Minor Spoilers]






















So as most of you already know, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opened today in the U.S. The film had already garnered considerable hype due to the popularity of the series already and critics had already given it above average reviews. I went to the midnight premiere of the film with my usual group of friends and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really cool seeing Harrison Ford reprise his old role and I loved Cate Blanchett as the villain. Shia LaBeouf has really hit it big and has scored a very significant role in the series. Expect lots of hair combing and motorcycle riding from him.

I really wish the story hadn't taken such an extreme turn though. It was really just too far fetched for the series in my opinion. I mean really, aliens and other dimensions? I really think that Lucas finally got what he wanted and was able to introduce sci-fi to the blockbuster series. In spite of this, the film was still thrilling to watch and I have decided to award it 3 1/2 stars out of 5.

Also for all you Scrubs fans out there, keep your eyes peeled for a very humorous cameo of one of the show's stars. I won't tell who.
