Synopsis: When we last saw Indiana Jones on screen, it was 1938, and the world stood on the brink of war as Dr. Jones chased down evildoers to find the Holy Grail. Nineteen years later, he’s cracking his whip again, and many things have changed ... but some have remained the same. Again, the world is at a precipice, this time caused by the specter of nuclear annihilation, and Indy’s struggle is once again to ensure that a precious, mysterious object remains safe from those bent on destroying humanity. --© Paramount Pictures

My Review: This film was about where I expected it to be. Nothing too spectacular and pretty predictable. Most of the Indiana Jones films are pretty predictable though. Harrison Ford still has it as the old Jones in this one. I thought that Cate Blanchett really stole the film though and did an excellent job. She made a very convincing evil Russian woman - and her Russian is actually pretty good compared to most.

Recommend: This is a fun family film. There are a couple of scenes that may be a little intense for little ones, but overall a fun film.
