Summary: INDIANA JONES meets JAMES BOND!!!
Comment: The third chapter of Indiana Jones is awesome and hilarious! Sean Connery co-stars as Indy's dad who always calls him 'Junior' Indy's dad is being held hostage by Nazi's, so Indy must save his dad, and find the Holy Grail before the Nazi's do! Indy's dad makes the movie a lot funnier, like when Elsa is talking to Indy about 'how great IT was', and Indy's dad thinks she is talking to him! I also love God's booby traps while Indy was trying to find the Grail to save his dad because the Nazi's shot him! I highly recommend INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not as good as the other ones, sadly.
Comment: After reading the reviews of this movie, I finally rented it and well, I didn't think it was as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or Temple of Doom. I mean, don't get me wrong it's a good movie, but it was kinda ya know talky at times, ya know, adult conversations, lol. This takes place in 1938, two years after Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ah well, it wasn't dissapointing at all, it just didn't give the same good feeling as the other movies. Everybody says this was better than Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And I thought "Really?". So I decided to go with my own opinion. So, see Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and the Last Crusade.

Summary: Best sequel of the series.
Comment:
In 1938, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) has discovered a diary and a map that can lead to the holy grail of Christ. Unfortunately his father Henry (Sean Connery) has been kidnapped by the Nazis as he heads to Venice where he meets up with a gorgeous nazi woman named Dr. Elsa Schnedier (Allison Doody) and private collector Walter Donovan (Julian Glover) to help rescue Henry. After they have rescued Henry, they must try to find the Holy Grail before the Nazis do cause the Nazis want to take over the world with super nazis if they were granted the powers.
Brilliant sequel that manages to improve over the dark and gruesome "Temple of Doom" and just as good as the first installment. This is a very entertaining sequel with all the goods like great acting especially from the late River Phoenix and John Rhys-Davis as Sallah, fantastic special effects like the amazing death of Donovan, action, a little romance and of course humor. This is a great movie from both Steven Spielburg and George Lucas as they made a truly solid installment that is very satisfying.
This DVD contains excellent picture and sound with good extras like an introduction by Spielburg and Lucas, three featurettes, photo galleries and a DVD-rom PC Lego Indiana Jones demo.

Summary: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Review
Comment: With a plot reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the third Indiana Jones installment sees the return of a winning formula.
It's 1912 and young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix) risks his life to save Coronado's Cross. But his father (Sean Connery) is not impressed. We jump to 1938 and Indy (Harrison Ford) discovers that his father has gone missing while searching for the Holy Grail, a cup endowed with miraculous powers due to Jesus having drunk from it before his crucifixion. Off to Venice, where Indy is followed by a secret brotherhood, dedicated to maintaining the secret of the Grail. Indy finds his father, but Nazis kidnap them both. They escape to Berlin to find a missing diary and (literally) run into Hitler. After fleeing an airship and engaging in a dogfight, father and son head to the desert to beat the Nazis to the Grail. After a remarkable chase with a tank, Indy's dad is shot and must get to the Grail in order to save his father's life.
The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is fun to watch. Both actors have impeccable timing and are obviously enjoying themselves. And unlike Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, in which Indy's sidekicks were overall annoying, Connery's character is a worthy companion and foil. Since father and son have a past, you care about their relationship.
This installment also includes the return Indiana Jones' milder mannered side -- a hero who can be tremendously awkward when not battling bad guys or untangling ancient mysteries.
Much of the movie's success is due to a tongue-in-cheek attitude, signaled right from the start when young Indy -- played by an intense River Phoenix -- can't find the rest of his Scout troop and loudly declares that "everyone is lost but me."
Ahh, that's the Indiana Jones we know and love.
Although nothing can beat the first 10 minutes of Raiders, here we get answers to some burning questions: Why is Indiana terrified of snakes? Why the fedora? And how did he get that scar on his chin? Finally, we even learn Indiana's real name!

Editorial Reviews:

The third episode in Steven Spielberg's rousing Indiana Jones saga, this film recaptures the best elements of Raiders of the Lost Ark while exploring new territory with wonderfully satisfying results. Indy is back battling the Nazis, who have launched an expedition to uncover the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. And it's not just Indy this time--his father (played with great acerbic wit by Sean Connery, the perfect choice) is also involved in the hunt. Spielberg excels at the kind of extended action sequences that top themselves with virtually every frame; the best one here involves Indy trying to stop a Nazi tank from the outside while his father is being held within. For good measure, Spielberg reveals (among other things) how Indy got his hat, the scar on his chin, and his nickname (in a prologue that features River Phoenix as the young Indiana). --Marshall Fine
