Picture and source from the site http://www.imdb.com. The movie is rated PG-13 for some violence and action! Run time is 124 minutes! Playing in theaters on since May 22, 2008!

Maincast:
Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones
Cate Blanchett - Irina Spalko
Shia LaBeouf - Mutt Williams

WATCH TRAILER: 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls

RECOMMENDATION:
WAIT UNTIL MOVIE COMES ON DVD!!!

PLOT SYNOPSIS:
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls' is about Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford) who goes to rescue a woman and an archaeologist after a kid asks for Jones help. The plot revolves around the adventures they all face along the way.

PLOT REVIEW:
One of the dullest plots of the Indiana Jones sequels, this movie lacks the adventure and plot that made Indiana Jones: The Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones: The Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade classics. The plot is so dry except for a few escapades in the beginning of the movie until they get to Peru. At Peru the action picks up a little but not anywhere compared to the other 3 sequels that came before it.

See what happens when you get rid of a conservative way of doing things and replace it with a liberal way just because many years have gone by. The Jones movies were excellent with Nazis as villains in I & III even though II had villains from an Indian cult but still really good because they were evil!

This movie has Communists as the villains and even there they cannot do a good job with villa nary. Cate Blanchett did one of her worst performances in this movie as a Communist.

The plot change from Nazis to communists was not a smart idea going from a conservative way of doing things to a liberal way.

CONTENT REVIEW:
'Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls' emphasizes gun violence and hand-hand combat between the villains and heroes. It addresses issues such as friendship, betrayal, perseverance, greed, trust, and love but not as good as National Treasure II: Book of Secrets, Prince Caspian, or Iron Man.

What I liked about the movie: (SPOILER ALERT)

1. I liked Indiana Jones going to rescue two friends in danger.

2. I liked Indiana Jones helping out a friend who betrayed him.

3. I liked a pastor telling Indiana Jones what God has ordained together let no one separate.

What I did not like about the movie: (SPOILER ALERT)

1. Finding out that Jones had a kid out of wedlock but what else is new with Hollywood.

Bible verses on some issues portrayed in the movie:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8, NIV)

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-20, NIV)

"People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." (1 Timothy 6:9-10, NIV)

QUESTIONS TO PONDER: (SPOILER ALERT)

1. What did you like most and least about the Indiana Jones movie and why?

2. How far would you go to help a friend in need even if it will cost you?

3. What are scenes in the movie that show the LOVE of one person towards another and how do you show love for someone in your life?

4. What are examples of PERSEVERANCE in the movie and what have you done to show perseverance in your life?

5. How far would you go to find a treasure and would it be worth it, why or why not?

6. How do you feel about Jones trying to help the one that betrayed him and why do you think he did that?

7. If you were given a map for a treasure hunt, what role would Jesus play in that quest, why or why not?
