Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


Harrison Ford makes another Indiana Jones movie. My theory is that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg just decided that National Treasure needed to be put in its place.
It was entertaining, and surprisingly Shia LaBeuf was actually pretty good and even funny. So basically, the Natzi's roll in the movies were taken by the Russan KGB. Original...? Nah. At the beginning of the movie they make a few jokes about how he's so much older and nothing will be as easy, but we are supposed to forget all about that because he turns out to kick ass in the fights against Russian troops. He didn't seem old any more. 
There were a few lame insults shot from Jones, but that didn't ruin my hope. Until the end of the movie, we find out what the crystal skull is. Turns out it is farther from realistic than a knight from the middle ages to keep a goblet safe.
All in all, I would give this a 3/5 stars. It was lame at the end, but had some awesome scenes.

Iron Man

Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark, the creator of the Iron Man. After being captured by terrorist, he secretly made a weapon to escape the caves. He improved this weapon to be the Iron Man, the thing that could destroy whole armies. Though someone catches up with his idea and makes something to oppose Iron Man.
Filled with dry humor, filled with gadgets, this movie simply kicked ass. Robert Downey Jr.'s quick witted dry humor livens every second of it-- even the parts when he's in peril. You won't get sick of seeing all the sexy gadgets and even his robot that talks back at some points.
This is a must see movie. At the end, do not expect a full ending, as they very obviously are setting it up for a sequel. But it is still a movie you must definitely watch with your guy friends an ogle all those nice cars he owns.
