Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the crystal skull

Well, I finally watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at the cinema. After hearing colleagues rant about how everyone should wait til it came out on DVD, my expectations weren't exactly high... but I LOVED it! Maybe it's because I hadn't gone in over-hyped, but I genuinely loved the film. It definitely had the whole nostalgia factor, but there was also a lot of laughs, gasps, out of seat jumping and surprises.

Ok, admittedly, some of it was far fetched... even for an Indiana Jones film, but it was still really enjoyable. Plus, you can't exactly go wrong with a film made by two all time greats, George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg!

Some of my favourite quotes (which will make no sense to those of you who haven't seen the film, but will make the rest of you laugh) are...

Agent Irina Spalko: [Irina has Marion and Indiana hostage] So Dr. Jones, you will help us?
[a soldier cocks a pistol and points it at Marion's back]
Agent Irina Spalko: A simple 'Yes' will do.
Indiana Jones: Oh Marion, you had to go and get yourself kidnapped.
Marion Ravenwood: Not like you did any better.
Indiana Jones: Same old, same old.

Mutt Williams: Grab the snake!
Indiana Jones: Stop calling it that! Call it something else!
Mutt Williams: Like what?
Indiana Jones: A rope! Call it a rope!
Mutt Williams, Marion Ravenwood: Grab the rope!

Indiana Jones: You want to be a good archaeologist...
[takes off on motorcycle]
Indiana Jones: ...you've got to get out of the library!
