Indiana Jones Meets X-Files?
Grade: CThe fourth installment is probably the weakest in my book. It is great to see Indy and Marion again in the middle of the action. Harrison held his own throughout the picture. However, the plot is the real problem. It went too far in the supernatural with inter-dimensional aliens. Every movie has a supernatural bent to it, and I thought the weakness is number two with blood that made a person lose his free will and become a slave. But this round is just too odd, over the top. It should have come from X-Files, not Indiana Jones. I'm a little surprised everyone came back with this script.

Hi - Agree it was great seeing Indy and Marion together again. When you realize that Steven was always into aliens with most of his movies, it wasn't too surprising that this one had it as the focus. Plot was badly written, though. And what was this with "Mutt"? Finally got the connection. Remeber Indy was named for a dog which was revealed at the end of #3. Anyway I don't expect to see any more of these at least with Harrison. It ranked #3 in my list with Temple being #4.

We give George Lucas far too much credit for original storytelling. As usual, with any project he's involved with, the written word is his weakness (and God Forbid, don't let him direct any live actors). Just let him do his special F/X. - Lisa
