An absolute cinematic disaster.

Set during the Cold War, the Soviets—led by sword-wielding Irina Spalko—are in search of a crystal skull which has supernatural powers related to a mystical Lost City of Gold. Indy is coerced to head to Peru at the behest of a young man whose friend—and Indy's colleague—Professor Oxley has been captured for his knowledge of the skull's whereabouts.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

The script for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Look, I wanted to love Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Just got out of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
