"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was supposed to be the final movie in
the "Indiana Jones" series. At least that's what director Steven Spielberg
and producer George Lucas said at the time this film hit theaters. But now
they've said there will be a fourth "Indiana Jones" film.
I really don't
know if that's a good idea, because the "Last Crusade" was a fitting end to
a great movie series. Harrison Ford returns for his third go around as
swashbuckling hero Indiana Jones, this time accompanied by Sean Connery as
Indy's father, Dr. Henry Jones. These two actors work beautifully together
as they fight off the Nazis in search for the Holy Grail. Two actors from
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" reprise their roles to great effect in "Last
Crusade": Denholm Elliott as Marcus Brody and John Rhys-Davies as Sallah.
Alison Doody is the heroine (good or bad?); Julian Glover is the villain;
River Phoenix portrays a young Indy at the beginning to see how this
character really got his start. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" not
only has great characters, it also has a decent story (taking place in
1938), plus exciting action scenes and special effects. It's better than the
second film "Temple of Doom" and comes very close to topping the first film
"Raiders". The "Indiana Jones" series should stay right where it is with the
"Last Crusade" as the finale. Unless Spielberg, Lucas, and Ford can prove us
wrong and make a really good fourth film in the series, we shall see. I
loved all three movies in the "Indiana Jones" series. If the fourth film
does gets made, I hope it'll be equally as good as the first
three.
