Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

(Flash Review)The final of the core three movies, this wasn't as good as I remember or it has aged poorly. This opens with an off-putting flashback of how Jones got his funny quirks with his attachment to his hat, fear of snakes, etc... It felt poorly done and hokey with lame humor. Back to present time now, Jones is on the hunt for the chalice Jesus drank from at the Last Supper. He follows some clues with an attractive woman, gets followed by some bad guys who know what he's is searching for; cue hammy hi-jinks and you know the drill. The antagonist believes he will acquire eternal life if his drinks from the chalice and he must snatch it before Jones can. While fun and adventurous, it felt stale as the humor and gags felt tired and worn yet it had decent effects for 1989. It was fine but was a far cry from the amazing Raiders of the Lost Ark.

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

Classic adventure story by Steven Spielberg. 10 out of 10. Pure Gold. Spielberg made the mold with this bristling ruptuous vivacious excuberunt quest for the wholy grail.Joyous from beginning to end. Victorious. And hilarously funny. Everything, young or old, could wish for in an adventure story.The Last Crusade is straightforward simple but done so incredibly well: the acting is superb, the stunts are over the top, the story is what childdreams are made of, the photography is gorgeous, the soundtrack by John Willliams is heavenly.The Last Crusade has stand the test of time: it is to this very day by far one of the very best adventure stories ever made!

Many say that this is the saving grace of the Indiana Jones saga after Temple of Doom. And I most certainly agree. It's got its parallels with Raiders (ie a biblical artifact, agents of the Third Reich, and of course John Rhys-Davies, who is one of my favorite actors), plus Sean Connery as the dad. Aside from that, this also features one of my favorite sites in the whole Middle East. Just watch and see what I mean. For me, this is one of the better father-son movies. Sure they fight a lot but what parent-child duo doesn't? Maybe they should play this movie more on Father's Day. That would prove that not all father-son relationships are as bad as they seem. As for me, this is my favorite Indiana Jones movie. A lot of the actors from Star Wars are in here, including Julian Glover (who played General Veers), Harrison Ford (Han Solo!), and the late Michael Sheard (who played the first guy Darth Vader strangled in The Empire Strikes Back). And this is the only River Phoenix movie I've seen. He did well as a younger Indy. If you have to see one Indy movie, give this a go!
