Is not Indy...

Warning: Spoilers
I was born a few years after The Last Crusade came out but was able to still watch the OG films as a kid in and old VHS tape player. Indiana Jones was this smart professor, adventurer, womanizer... he was also kind, and funny.

The original trilogy was coherent in itself both with how it presented the characters but also with the story and the growth of Indy himself.

Back in 08´i was a bit dissapointed with how thing turned for Indy but overall i actually liked the movie. Yeah, I mean... ancient aliens is not something that farfetched from the Holy Grail or ancient vodoo temples.

What i liked about the fourth instalment was that i gave us a good conclusion to the Indiana Jones story... a happily ever after.

BUT THEN... this movie comes and destroys all that was settled in the fourth film even killing Indiana Jones Jr Jr and having our beloved Indy divorced... I mean... was that even necessary?

The plot is interesting but the resolution is weak... why not go back to the 30s? The whole Archimedes sequence was lame...

In terms of character development, this movie is the worst in the franchise.

The VfX and CGI are actually pretty good and will get surely nominated.

The cinematograhy is very well accomplished.

The music well... it is still incredible what an amazing musician Williams is.

Overall... the movie could have been better and they chose very strange plot lines to follow.

I just hope this final image of indiana is not the one we take from such an iconic character and actually remember him from the OG trilogy.
