Indiana Jones and the last crusade is the last of the indiana jones films before the new one, and i think its a pretty good one. The idea of indie remeeting his father is promising, and its promise is certainly lived up to. I liked the flashback scene, explaining a variety of things, why indie hates snakes among them. I also thought it was cool how he was still trying to get the artifact back afteralmost 20 years. Of course the Hitler autograph scene is pretty hillarious. As always with indy films, the end is a bit wacky, but it is still a good movie.

Though Raiders was an overall better movie, and Temple of Doom was a more thrilling experience, Last Crusade is the most hilarious of the three. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford share a wonderful chemistry, and the scenarios that the writers and director put them through are great. If Raiders was the more action-adventure oriented flick, and Doom was the thriller, then Crusade is the comedy.

Great movie! Indiana Jones is one of the greatest franchise ever in the field of movies. Good story, good acting and really cool action scenes. There were many funny scenes as well. Indiana Jones's dad was pretty funny. Harrison Ford and Sean Connery really have look like father and son in this one!

The third Indiana Jones closes the saga in a very high note. A lot of fun. Sean Connery delivers one of his best performances yet, making a great movie even more spectacular.

"Sorry son, they got us."

If Temple left a sour taste in your mouth, than this should sweeten it right up. Much in the style of Raiders, this movie even adds, who else, but James Bond! Sean Connery is a great person to play Indy's dad. They have a great chemistry. And they never out shine each other. This is the true sequel to Raiders.

Last Words:Go out and buy it right now

A stronger film that Temple, but still doesn't compare to Raiders. Connery is a great addition to the movie, and his scenes with Ford is terrific. The story is fun and interesting and the film gains from the return to the Nazi villians.

This is my fav of the trilogy. It has the same elements of the first 2 but 1 added editon... Sean Connery! He is just brillient as Henry Jones and adds a breath of fresh air to the series.

Excellent entertainment.

  It's a beautiful machine, thought out and revved up to the last detail, with no other purpose but to delight - and it delights. [24 May 1989, Daily Notebook, p.E1]

  The Harrison Ford-Sean Connery father-and-son team gives Last Crusade unexpected emotional depth, reminding us that real film magic is not in special effects.

  Though it cannot regain the brash originality of ''Raiders of the Lost Ark,'' in its own way 'The Last Crusade' is nearly as good, matching its audience's wildest hopes.

  It is just as well that Last Crusade will indeed be Indy's last film. It would be too sad to see the series grow old and thin, like the James Bond movies.

  Also predictable is the film's simplistic treatment of themes from religion and myth… It's curious that Spielberg and Lucas see these venerated objects not as symbols of divine inspiration but as repositories of a blind, undiscriminating force that can be wielded (like the three wishes from a genie or a magic lamp) by whoever gets their hands on them.

  Fully up to, as well as virtually indistinguishable from, its predecessors… The guarantee of Indiana Jones is that the pace never varies and the tone never changes; when you've had enough, you can feel free to leave. [24 May 1989, Tempo, p.1]

  You can't roll monstrous boulders straight at audiences any more and have a whole theater-full duck and gasp with fright--and pleasure. We may be plumb gasped out. And although Harrison Ford is still in top form and the movie is truly fun in patches, it's a genre on the wane. [24 May 1989, Calendar, p.6-1]

  Despite strong acting (the slapstick energy between Ford and Connery is wasted), obligatory chases and stunts and splendid art direction, the virtuoso technique evident in every frame remains formulaic--unaccompanied by revelation, epiphany or surprise.

  The first of Spielberg's films to make us feel heavy in our seats, the first to leave us sitting, passive and uninvolved, on the outside. Watching it, you feel that nearly anyone could have directed it.
