5-Word Review: Indiana Jones

5-Word Review: Indiana Jones

Whip lacks crack. Needs retirement.



Final Thoughts: I loved the Indiana Jones trilogy, but the fourth installment shows why some franchises are better left dead. What happened to you, George Lucas?! First, you ruined Star Wars. Now, you’ve done the same to dear old Indy.

Maybe I’m being too harsh. After all, as a mindless popcorn flick, Indy 4 delivers. However, the premise and story are so over-the-top and so far removed from the previous films that I can’t honestly consider it anything other than hilariously bad. Wait until you see the "monkey" scene. Really? Really?!

If you do watch it, do so for the action and random funny bits. Just don’t expect it to live up to the old flicks.
