When the first reviews began to come out they were either downright hostile, or luke-warm. This worried me only slightly because hey - it's supposed to be a big over the top popcorn movie with outlandish plots - it's Indiana Freaking Jones for goodness sakes!

Finally someone who gets it has written an excellent review (don't worry - there's no spoilers).

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an absolute triumph, and a picture-perfect tribute to one of cinema’s great action franchies.

A conscious decision in production was made to steer clear of CGI effects when possible and perform stunts the old-fashioned way, and it’s certainly paid off – everything, from sword-fights on duelling jeeps to motorcycle chases and mad dashes through ancient ruins and treasure-filled warehouses feels suitably weighty and satisfying.

It’s everything an Indiana Jones film should be: stunning action sequences, a silly – yet riveting – plot, Russians, curses, tombs, caves, jungles, whips and Fedoras, allied with a mountain of adventure and a truckful of nostalgia.
