Raiders Of The Last Crusade.

Indiana Jones teams up with his father to try and locate the Holy Grail. Something that the Nazis are again particularly interested in themselves.

We didn’t know it at the time, but every Indiana Jones fan on the planet presumed that The Last Crusade was to be the final film to feature the intrepid archaeologist. As it turned out, another film would surface in 2008, but casting that aside (as many would like to do), Last Crusade should, and is, judged as the trilogy closer it was meant to be.

In 1988 Steven Spielberg was deep into bringing Rain Man to fruition, all thoughts of Indiana Jones had gone by the wayside with the harshly judged part two, Temple Of Doom. In stepped George Lucas to politely remind Spielberg that they had an agreement to make another Indiana Jones picture, Spielberg no doubt obliged and humble, passed on his Rain Man work to Barry Levinson who promptly bagged himself an Oscar for the film. It can be guessed that Spielberg was probably grouchy around this period, but he needn’t have worried, because The Last Crusade provided a much needed hit for not only himself (post Empire Of The Sun), but also Lucas (Willow) and Harrison Ford (Frantic).

I mention the run up to this picture because it explains a lot on why the film is pretty much a retread of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, something that some detractors find unforgivable. Yet Last Crusade is still an immensely enjoyable adventure picture, with Spielberg proving that he was still capable of a popcorn bonanza. Using the Raiders formula and moving away from the dark flourishes of Temple Of Doom, Last Crusade is actually the simplest film of the three, but still it manages, courtesy of a sparkling casting decision, to become the most entertaining of the original trilogy. Is it better than Raiders? Of course not, but it positively rips along with sparky dialogue and an agenda of cliffhanging suspense like the adventure films of yore.

In comes Sean Connery as Dr Jones Senior, and its the picture’s trump card, because the magnificent interplay and obvious rapport with Ford (cool as a cucumber) is there for all to see. It’s this what drives the film on through the more mundane and picture filler sequences, showcasing two top wily professionals with care and consideration to their craft. The casting of Alison Doody as the main female is a poor one, and one only has to look at her subsequent career post Crusade to see she wasn’t up to the task here. Bonus comes in the form of the River Phoenix prologue, Phoenix as the young Indiana paves the way for the jaunty path that Crusade takes, whilst simultaneously giving us a nice little back story from which to launch the adventure.

Made for $48 million, the film went on to gross $474,171,806 Worldwide, now that’s a lot of people who evidently were happy with Raiders Of The Lost Ark 2! And I gleefully count myself amongst that number. 9/10

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

While Harrison Ford does a great job as Indiana Jones, it is always good to see Sean Connery get involved, even if he is very passive in the action.

Then there is an unfortunate amount of flashback, but it is better than doing an “Indian Jones: Origin” movie to explain how he attained his stylish attire and phobia of snakes.

This has a quality female companion, an entertaining side character, but we’re back to Nazi’s again for villains. It almost is just a highlight of the ridiculous lengths that Nazi’s went to look for weird resources: the occult (“Hellboy”), artifacts, and investigations into alien contact.

This is a return to quality though, it takes up the more serious atmosphere of the first movie and with that concentrates on a dramatically good action adventure movie.

This is my favorite of the franchise.

Perpetually Entertaining…
An army of fascists seek to plunder, an artefact so precious it’s a wonder, an archaeologist will resist, using whips and guns and fist, in a treasure of a film packed with adventure.

There are puzzles to be solved and riddles broken, the dialogue’s a joy, beautifully spoken, action packed from start to end, returns a massive dividend, engaging all the way and thought provoking.

X Marked This Spot…and masterfully
By the time of this writing, Blockbuster Inc. stores probably have all but vanished. Each with a sign that indicates that it’s “just this store” that’s closing. Sad, but that’s how the story goes. Remember the Beta Video stores?

When I was a kid, and we got our very first VCR – man, that was like the invention of television for those around my age – and I was able to save up enough money to buy two previously viewed movies. And get this: I had to actually pre-order previously viewed VCR tapes and they were incredibly $19.95 apiece!

No matter; I really wanted both Lethal Weapon 2 and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. And bad.

They were like gold for me. And they, along with a birthday gift of the original Batman, certainly earned their weight. I must’ve watched those three – my only movies – fifty times each.

So, you can see: I am very familiar with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Every inch, score number and frame. I love this movie.

Later, I would contest and readily agree, Raiders of the Lost Ark is both a masterpiece and better film, but that doesn’t deter on how…much…FUN this third installment is. And I’m not even mentioning the dreadful part two: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. In my mind, there’s only Indy 1 and 3. You can even forget the (yawn) Young Indiana Jones (so-called) Adventures.

Everything worked in this movie: suburb acting, hilarious and fun dialogue – mostly from the chemistry (or banter) of the two Jones’s, extreme adventure, exciting action, fantastic characters, nostalgia – for fans of Raiders and great twists. And one of the best aspects is also a spoiler, – sorry, but if you haven’t seen this 22-year-old epic, that’s your fault – it has one of the best endings in the history of cinema: they actually ride off into the sunset. Brilliant and beautiful ending to the series!*

* – that is until they ruined it with the overkill: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Best advice? Think of this as the actual LAST adventure and forget that wretched sequel.

Heck, I can’t really pinpoint many, if any, faults or flaws in Last Crusade. Pooossssibly, the over-long opening segment with the original “Young Indiana” played by the late and great River Phoenix? Even that was entertaining, fun and had an awesome score track. So, technically, it’s not a setback, but perhaps needed a little more editing.

Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is overwhelmed at school, but is more so when his father, Henry Jones, Sr. (Sean Connery – in, Literally one of his best on-screen performances) is listed as missing. Indy is tempted with the prospect of finding the mystical Holy Grail, even though he, himself, doesn’t believe it. He does set off on a mission to find his father, but we all know, he’d equally like to find this “Lost Cup of Jesus Christ.”

He meets up with (what I grew up referring to as “the blonde”) the beautiful and seductive dame Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) and they quest to find daddy Jones and ward off Nazis. Not so much a spoiler, but he does rescue Henry Jones, Sr. and the race for the Grail is on between the Jones’s and the Nazis.

I left out a lot, but that’s the basic, BASIC, premise. Seriously, if you have not seen this, or have even, see it (again, if you have) and learn to enjoy the film that frankly defines adventure. And a movie that captures the heart of the original, the atmosphere of the serials of before most of our times and how movies were really made: pre-CGI.

On a related note: while some people are anti-3D, I am boarder-line anti-CGI. Sure it’s a cheaper way of filmmaking, but I feel it’s just that: cheap. Rarely will it be believable in my sight, for the most part it’s all-but a cartoon and extremely laughable. That said, it can work…sometimes. The recent 2010 Alice in Wonderland film is a perfect example of how it can really work and impress me. But, 80% of the time, it’s just plain corny, distracting and again, CHEAP. My favorite action/adventures films are how they used to be made: with both inventiveness and heart. Like this one. Heck, I’ll take a blue/green screen any day over a computer telling me what’s “real” looking.

But, I digress. I hesitate in calling this a masterpiece (in filmmaking, at least) but in my mind it is. And seeing that this is an opinion piece, I will go on record: it doesn’t get much better than this.

I remember some of the promotional shots on the late night shows from Harrison Ford, et al, that casually admitted Temple of Doom was a disaster – I AGREE – and this was a make-up movie. It sure the heck was! This was thee number one redemption movie of all time.

Note to Hollywood: continue the redemption. Make movies like this, verses the CGI-laced, no-script films of the last decade or so. Remember what it’s like to have this much fun in the movie going experience. I remember. I recall 1989 when this was released as my all-time favorite year in films released. Too bad, they haven’t come close to ’89 in 22 years.

And Hollywood won’t listen. I ask that you do. Support and watch movies like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Remember what it was like to have fun in the theatre, what it was like when real special-effect crews did real work on the fields and not in the office and remember what it was like to be a kid again. See this movie!
