If there's one thing I gotta say about No. 4 of Indy's adventures, it's "off-da-hook!" Harrison Ford was great as Dr. Jones, and I hadn't seen him just like that before, but it was as good as "Raiders", ten times better than "Last Crusade". "Temple of Doom" is still my absolute favorite.
I noticed how they put the Lucasfilm logo first, and THEN the Paramount logo, and that's a helluva way to start a Spielberg/Lucas movie, and I never saw somethin' like that before in my life. I also saw how they took out the new, regular Paramount logo and replaced it with the hand-painted one that I saw on the first three films. You can't help but laugh at the fact that it looked just like their logo from the early '70s, AND they took the Gulf+Western tag at the bottom and just put "A Viacom Company" instead.
When I saw the opening credits flash on the screen to Elvis' "Hound Dog", (I'm gonna just go ahead and use this phrase anyway) "shivers went up and down my spine". They really did.
Karen Allen is back FINALLY as Marion Ravenwood, and that kid Shia was all right as Mutt. Cate Blanchett is a SCENE-STEALER as Col. Dr. Spalko. One minute she's Kate Hepburn, the next she's Bob Dylan, and the one after that she's Queen Elizabeth. That's one of the things I really like about her, how she's able to switch roles from movie to movie like that. That's real inspiring.
For any and all Indy fans around the world, this is a MUST-SEE!!! I was lucky enough to see it on its opening weekend, on Memorial Day. SEE THIS MOVIE, before it leaves the houses on ya, or you can wait until it comes to DVD (that's one thing I'm definitely buyin'), and lemme tell ya, it's gonna sell like HOT CAKES!
