 Recaptures that Raiders magic August 3, 2005
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
It may just be coincidence but this time Harrison Ford that was a carpenter is not Dr. Indiana Jones (Junior) and his last crusade (until the next film) is to obtain a cup of a carpenter.
Even though this film can stand on its own, it can be more fully understood if you watch "Raiders of the lost Ark" first.
Once again we start out with a young Jones trying to save an artifact from pillagers. This lets us know of his heroic energy and introduces his father Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery) and his obsession with the Holy Grail, even to the exclusion of his relationship with Junior.
Now grown Dr. Indiana Jones gives a class and explains that Archeology is a pretty strait forward science and not some search for legends. He receives a mysterious piece of post.
He is then approached by group of rich people that are in search of the Grail. It turns out that their top researcher has disappeared. Yep it is Professor Henry Jones. What can Indiana do but go looking for his father. He is accounted by his best friend who runs a museum Dr. Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliottt) as they team up with the last person to see his father Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody.) He gets a final warning "Do not trust anybody."
Will he find his father?
If he dies what will they have to talk about?
Does the Grail really exist?
Who are the mysterious people following him?
One of my favorite scenes is where Dr. Jones disguised in a German uniform bumps into Hitler (Michael Sheard of Star Wars fame).
Have fun watching this great film with the banter between Hennery and Junior. And remember "do not trust anybody."

I just love this film! It shows the character and theme have been allowed to develope & grow. (Not many "series" movies are so lucky!)Altogether a great Saturday film! Well done to all hands concerned! I just hope that there is more films of this quality in the pipeline.
Wish amazon sold this seperately as a DVD March 2, 2005

Definitely the best of the three movies. If you like over the top acting, lots of stunts with little plot- as some do- you'll love the second one, Temple of Doom. If you like action movies that are like 80% of all the other action movies out there, Raiders of the lost ark has plenty of stunts for you too. (Okay, maybe Raiders spares a tad more originality than most action films), but if you're into movies that tell a great story- as only good movies do, get this one. The Last Crusade is one of those rare films that takes a whole bunch of genres and skillfully puts it all into one film. It's an action film, A romance, a comedy, an adventure film- all into one. If they had put in a little sci-fi/horror in there you'd have the whole damn video store. It's the perfect film for when you have a bunch of people over with different tastes. Sure to satisfy them all.
Not related: Amazon should really remove some of the reviews that customers give on certain products. There are one star reviews for this movie by people who mention scenes that aren't even in this movie... they are mistaking this film for one of the other IJones films-Temple of doom. Just goes to show you really need to read the reviews before passing judgement.
One of my favorite movies January 8, 2005
I'm a sucker for adventure films. Iv'e seen them all: Mask of Zorro, LOTR, Sky Captain and The World Of Tomorrow, a whole bunch. But Iv'e rarely seen one I like as much as this one. Why? Because it's everything you'd want in an adventure film: action, laughs, and a great storyline. Although Iv'e seen the other two Indy films, I still think this is the best, because it has Sean Connery in it. It's impossible not to like Sean Connery. He's funny, he's handsome, and almost every movie he's in is a great action film. In this movie, Indiana and his father, played by Connery, set on a quest to find the Holy Grail before the Nazis use its power to take over the world. Lots of action and Connery saying funny things ensues.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade brings together Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) with his father Mr. Jones Senior (Sean Connery)
The movie begins in Utah in 1912, with a young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix) being pursued by a gang of rogues, who want the antiquity he has just nabbed from them, as Indy believes that the treasure should be in a museum, and not as their personal possession.
Shooting forward to 1938, Indiana Jones is pressed into an adventure to find the fabled Holy Grail, which was sought by King Arthur's Knights of Camelot, among others.
Lots of exciting action takes Indy and his father from Venice to Nazi occupied Austria to Turkey, pitting him against
evil Nazis, and including a beautiful lady archaeologist Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody), whose greed tragically causes her to fall in with the bad guys.
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is far superior to the disappointing Temple of Doom, and as good as the first Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark
