cinemajesty Movie Review: "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989)Director Steven Spielberg exceeds himself with this Adventure story of a son namely "Indiana Jones" in search for his father "Henry Jones Sr.", portrayed to Harrison Ford match-making Sean Connery, at age-turning 58, never been better in wits, charms and moments of superior hands-on live-action scenes in 1950s screwball comedy timings, stretching sequences from an U.S. western scenario over boats chasing in the watered channels of Venice, Italy to Northern African, near-orient-splendoring "Alexandria" desert locations with Turkish-owned World-War-One tank vehicle's accelerating through open range territory, pursuing "Indiana Jones" getting his hands dirty in mud and dust to find the "Holy Grail" for a rich all-too-remote business man, performed visciously, double-cross-playing by actor Julian Glover, when Spielberg retrieves high-pitch excellence beat work from a perfecty-received Hollywood movie screenplay by Jeffrey Boam (1946-2000).Where "The Last Crusade" wins, is not only in the pre-flashing twelve minutes of an young reckless 15-year-old "Indy", given face by star-making struggled acting-youngster River Pheonix (1970-1993), already known for thought-provoking performance in Rob Reiner directed "Stand By Me" (1986), but decisively as well with the elders' humor-inhabited and ease-stroke supporting cast Denholm Elliott (1922-1992) and John Rhys-Davies as reprising Sallah from the original "Indy" story "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), when the third installment of "Indiana Jones" hits U.S. American theatres on May 24th 1989 to a fulminate success with the audiences of just being the ultimate Hollywood adventure movie even after thirty years in perfect balance between state of the art visual effects, acting wheels of splendor throughout any scene, also-thanks to actress Alison Doody, who just matches out Harrison Ford himself with an already infamous "scream-squeeze-quote" in short-lived Berlin visits of the leading cast, when director Steven Spielberg manages in all the entertaining splendor to fill-in a not of Hitchcockian ultra-suspense hostility between "Holy Grail" racing contenders to a movie finish of career-defining "Indiana Jones" challenges between life and death before releasing the audience from a stranglehold of breathtaking thrills."Indiana Jones" finds his peak performance with "The Last Crusade", suitable for any entertainment-loving audience around the world; a movie that surprisingly remains an constant-classic through the ages from now Disney-owned production company Lucasfilm Ltd with George Lucas & Frank Marshall executive producing to let this motion picture become one of Spielberg's greatest achievements in filmmaking.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC
Inception Report When I was a kid I was absolutely obsessed with Indiana Jones, it's one of the only franchises where my original impressions when I was young still Rings true to this day, when I first watch all the movies, this was my favourite of the 4 and to this day The Last Crusade is still my favourite entry in the series. One thing I feel this movie does better than any other movie in the franchise is how it characterises Indiana Jones, we actually learn a lot about him in this movie, the opening Flashback was a great way to set up what we've been lead to believe about him and it does this without dialogue but with actions that lets you take it in more. I also adored the inclusion of his father in this movie, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford played of teach other perfectly, it was such a good way to humanise his character and give him some extra vulnerability that he didn't have in the first two films. The set pieces in this film are still absolutely phenomenal, they still hold up to this day. The tank and motorcycle chases still look great, they had real stakes and tension to them because you realise that they were filmed to be practical and realistic and like the past two, Jones isn't a perfect fighter and only just manages to get out of it. But the best set piece in the film is the trials for the holy grail at the climax. It was so good to see Jones use his mind to accomplish his goal rather than with his physical abilities, because of this there was so much tension due to the fact that you didn't know how he was going to get through it. The tone in this movie is perfect, it never feels muddled or conflicted. Large portions of The Last Crusade are hilarious, they integrate comedy into tense moments and it always feels consistent and just makes this film so much more enjoyable. Another thing I love about this movie is that it still has room more those more mature scenes, not necessarily dark but the tone can often shift to being a bit more sombre to suit more character building scenes and it's done so well. The main quest in this movie is my favourite one in large part due to the personal connection they gave it. They set it up as something Sean Connery's character has been searching for over his life and it gets you more invested in where it's going because of that. They use the fact that it will fall into Nazi hands if they don't find it first but it's not as effective a motivator as the emotional connection they gave it to Indy and his father. This has been and will always be one of my favourite movies, it's just Indiana Jones at his best. It's incredibly fun but still heartfelt, it takes lengths to develop the protagonist more and has a quest that the viewer can get more invested in. This (as well as the other 3 entries) is my childhood film that will always be with me. 10/10: A+ (Incredible)
