INDIANA JONES: The Last Crusade


Released:1989
Cast :   Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, River Phoenix, Denholm Elliot, John Rhys-Davies, Julian Glover, Allison Doody
Director :Steven Spielberg


When the Legendary Actor Sean Connery and Harisson ford is seen together in a sequel, you know your money is worth it.


In this edition, Indiana Jones recruited by a wealthy collector (Julian Glover) to find nothing less than the Holy Grail. Along the way, Indy encounters a well-armed band of religious zealots, Nazis, and his fussy father (Sean Connery), the missing leader of the Grail project who doesn’t embrace his son’s sense of adventure.


The Characters are so well written and executed that you get plunged into a world of crude and ruthless fights. The actors show full justice to their respective roles that it is impossible for you to see somebody else in their place. 


An Indiana Jones movie is never complete without action, and this movie isn't any different. Hard hiiting punches to classy sword fights, wild west gun shots to rusty rope swinging, this movie has every thing. But a little too much at times. The Fight  between the Nazi General and Jones is so long that you feel slightly irritated, but none the less it is super fine scene.


Another smart thing about the movie is that it has a very smart script. The whole rustic plot of the movie is peppered  is a few comedy scenes that is so situational that you force yourself to giggle. Take scene where Adolf Hitler signs the Map to the HOLY GRAIL, thinking that Jones is a  admirer... Such scenes make the movie a little lite on the whole.


 Another reason that i feel is the success of this Indiana Jones Movie is that it uses very less amount of Fantasy as compared to the usual Jones movies. Also the Acting of Mr.Sean Connary and Ford is so timed and precise that you dont really care about the plot of the movie.


Even though, the Last crusade is not a Completely flawless movie, it is really watchable and those with a an adventurous heart would find it very exciting....


Rating 3.5/5
