For this issue of movie review, I chose "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull," the fourth of the Indiana Jones installments.

My review of this movie comes from past experience from the previous Indiana Jones movies and also how well this movie is put together. The movie includes many well-known actors, such as Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, and John Hurt. With a list of such stars, it is hard to think that this movie could be anything less than a blockbuster hit.

Some movies though sometimes overpower their casting and underachieve on the story, but that is not the case here. This movie is a 7 out of 10.

I give the movie a 7 because of three of the four major points on my list. My first reason is the movie continues with another exciting adventure that keeps you in your seat waiting for the next crack of Indy's whip or a jungle car chase.

The second reason I feel that this movie is a 7 is that it has Harrison Ford. Without Harrison Ford, the movie would have been a flop, but since he does star in the movie, he makes it just as good as the previous Jones movies.

The third reason why I like this movie is that the plot is inventive and keeps you interested throughout the movie.

The one area though that I feel is poor quality is special effects towards the end, which make the movie a bit corny.
