Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an entertaining action-adventure flick but nothing special.

My foremost problem is the action sequences. They are not as thrilling or exciting as should be. The action sequences were fun to watch but seriously in need of more tensity and some thrills. There were scenes of sword fighting on the car, stairs pulling down, car chasing on the hill.. etc. they were all 'cool' but unfortunately feels too 'safe' to have me excited. The action sequences always came off as 'emm..', but never 'wow! that's freaking awesome!'.

Fortunately, the character of Indiana Jones lived up my expectation. Thanks to Ford. I'd say that Ford is the best part of the movie. And the humor is the second to him. The other casts were just solid (yes, including Shia du Cute who also doesn't look cute anymore). Besides the production (with some really great set pieces), there's really nothing THAT impressive.

I have no problem with the ending AT ALL. Although, I'd say it lacked the element of the awe feeling.
