Indiana Jones & The Crystal Skull


Awesome movie. Loved it. I think I told you a couple months ago we had a marathon of the first set of Indiana Jones movies here at home. This topped it off. The Oldest has been obsessed with IJ and all things IJ; especially Lego sets having to do with it. I must say the movie was pretty good. I wasn't sure what to expect and there's a little twist at the end. Very enjoyable. There were some cuss words and some sharp looks from the Oldest to me to his Daddy to the Oldest (in that order) and lots of elbow shoving when said words hit our ears (poor Ivan, like it's his fault they were using profanity). Why do they have to throw that stuff in there? The integrity of the movie is already there. If I had to say, that would be the only thing that took AWAY from the integrity of the movie. The action and the stunt scenes for the most part made it somewhat edge of your seat and not really a dull moment.......the profanity for me, knowing kids 8, 9, 10 etc are watching, is disappointing. No wonder our society is the way it is.


Wait, this started off as a nice post for this movie. It still is. Just a general statement on the state of movies these days. Too much language. A movie that's perfectly great in its own right gets slightly smeared by unnecessary language. Sad really. But for that, a nice classic to be.
