Action, action, action, action, adventure, romance, comedy and... action! From the first scene to just about the last scene, there is nothing but action. It has the same magic and mysticism and ritual religion-like themes as the first three, but it mainly revolves around an "alien" skull made out of some magnetic crystal-like substance. Like the ghost of the Holy Grail, there are the same sort of spirits lingering among the remains. I appreciated the Greasers... the comb bit and even the fight. It was a role reversal for Indiana Jones in this movie (spolier alert), but you've probably already have heard. If you haven't, I'm surprised the media months ago hadn't done it for you then. Lucas always seems to need to have a beginning and an end to the storyline's he creates. It wasn't the same for two reasons: Harrison Ford is much older and isn't as attractive anymore and I'm not a huge alien fan unless its done by M. Night Shaymalan. The alien psyche reminded me of a Stephen King book. It was all in all a pretty good movie. I'm looking forward to other movies coming out this summer more than I was looking forward to this. A classic in its own right and not a terrible sequel.
