Indiana Jones Review Series Episode 4 - The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The Credible Nerds tackle the much maligned but secretly loved 4th movie in the Indiana Jones film series - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! We discuss the off and on again start of the film and why it took so long to develop, as well as how big of a box office hit the movie was in 2008.
We discuss the era that this story is set in, the late 1950's, and the effect it had on the story in comparison to the previous three movies. We talk about Indiana Jones and if he has changed as a character and what's different about him 19 years after his last crusade. We discuss the new characters introduced in the film and how old characters made cameos in the story and how Marion makes a comeback in Indy's life.
We talk about father/son relationships and how in this movie, Indy is the father figure as opposed to The Last Crusade when he was the son.
We finish off ranking the films in the series so far and if they changed from the initial preview episode we recorded.
