DVD Reviews of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
DVD Review: Best Jones movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Product came as requested and was in excellent condition. Bought it as a gift for my girlfriend. It's one of her favorite movies, and one of mine, as well.DVD Review: VERY ENTERTAINING INSTALLMENT ! BUT MORE COMEDIC THAN THE FIRST TWO!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know that the third installment in the "Indiana Jones" series is either loved or hated, but to me it's all in how you look at third films in any trilogy. For the most part, they are almost always more light hearted and comedic. It's like a wink to the audience, saying "we're still making these films"!!?? It's a solid action/adventure film in the tradition these film were created for in the first place, with great performances by all!
I haven't seen the newest "Indiana Jones" film yet, but now that I have revisited the trilogy I'm ready to see it! I'm reviewing this film from the original box set which has a good disc of extras and the DVD transfers look very good! I rate this installment 4 1/2 stars.
DVD Review: I should have mailed it to the Marx Brothers...
Summary: 5 Stars
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is probably my favourite of the original "Raiders" trilogy. It begins with an event that gives us the details as to why Indiana has a chin scar, where he got his passion for archaeology, his hat, his whip, his hatred of snakes and ultimately his name. Excluding Ford, there are two stars in this film, the well-written story and Sean Connery as Indie's sometimes bumbling, but always loveable father, Henry Jones, Sr. - a man lost in his obsession of finding the Holy Grail. Some commentators say the father and son relationship is not fleshed out - I disagree and provide the following to make my point(warning spoilers):
1. In his attempted rescue of his Dad, merely hearing the sound of "Junior" brings Indie back to the "Yes sirs," of his youth;
2. Indie's anger when speaking of his deceased mother never understanding Henry Sr's obsession with the Grail and perhaps secretly how Indie blames his father for her death;
3. Indie standing in awe of his father when in the nick of time Henry Sr remembering a quote from Charlemagne saves them both from peril.
4. Henry Sr, nearly squeezes the life out of his boy realising Indie didn't miss the cliffhanger;
5. the pairs' conversation in the lounge of the zeppelin; and
6. the seemingly shared thoughts between them when Indie faces the "Devices".
Each of these scenes resonates of real-life experience between parent and child; a distant and rocky relationship due to personality, obsession and circumstance and yet an existing kinship. The comedic timing between Connery and Ford is perfect! I'm sorry that Connery never got a chance to do more comedy because he was certainly adept at it in this film. And what about that hat that Indie can never seem to be rid of?
DVD Review: How does a hero become a hero?
Summary: 3 Stars
1912, a Boy Scout troop is exploring caves. Two young boys happen upon some men looting. One of the boys recognizes a cross the leader in a black leather jacket and fedora is holding. It's Coronado's cross. He realizes this valuable artifact should be in a museum for all to enjoy and vows to stop the poachers from stealing the cross from posterity. He doesn't win--but he gets his enemy's hat and he vows to get the cross.
Thus begins the career of Indiana Jones.
We move forward to 1938. Indy has finally gotten the cross back from his arch nemesis. He's contacted by a wealthy man who has evidence of the existence of the Holy Grail.
He advises the man he has the wrong Jones. They should contact his father,
Jones is advised his father went first and is now missing. His principal mission is to find his father--then it becomes to keep the Nazis from getting the Grail.
There's a lot of good things going for this film:
Sean Connery as Jones Sr is a great foil for Harrison Ford. He's Prof Attila, the Medieval Lit prof no student wants, he's also an absent father, and a still-grieving widow after many years.
The Nazis are great enemies, in my opinion, much better than the thugges in "Temple of Doom" who were just creepy and odious.
Dr. Elsa Schneider is an excellent female counterpart to Indy. She's funnier than Kate Capshaw, smarter and soberer than Karen Allen--plus, she's got a bad side that makes her very interesting.
"The Last Crusade" was literally supposed to be the last run for Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, but I'm glad to see him back in the saddle. It will be interesting to see if he can play a senior adventurer with as much grace and humor as Sean Connery did.

DVD Review: Really, the adventure of a lifetime.
Summary: 5 Stars
Each of the Indiana Jones movies is strong enough to stand on its own merits, but this one is my personal favorite. Why? Well, there are many reasons. First off, we're adventuring with not one but TWO Joneses, as Indy is joined by his father played by Sean Connery (who else?). John Williams is again in top form here, with pieces ranging from frantic ( the castle escape and cycle chase) to medieval and mythic.
One of the things I like is that this is the warmest of Indy's adventures, but luckily it's not in a gooey E.T. kind of way. That wouldn't work for Indy. Rather, the warmth is displayed through the film's humor (it's arguably the funniest of the three.), and the strained father-son dynamic works to the audiences advantage, getting in some good laughs in some of the hairiest situations. Sallah and Marcus Brody return from the first film with expanded roles, both providing some fun comic relief.
The quest is of course, the most important part of any Indy film, and as with Raiders, Indiana is going head to head with the Nazis on a quest for an artifact of incredible power- the Holy Grail. The stakes are impossibly high, and as Jones, Sr. puts it, "There's no silver medal for second place."
The stunts are another big part of the series, and as with the other two films, Indy doesn't disappoint, finding new ways to make us sit on the edge of our seats and bite our nails. There's a fair share of action, including fistfights, gunfights, chases, and of course knocking a German Colonel out the window of a Zeppelin.
Well, you've read enough...Don't stand there, watch it!
