Movie Review: The Last Crusade, until the next one....
Summary: 5 Stars
1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was the last of the highly entertaining trilogy of adventure films brought to the screen by the talented duo of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. The trilogy featured Harrison Ford in his iconic role as the swashbuckling archeologist of the title. With a fourth movie due out in 2008 after a 20 year hiatus, the last one deserves a look back.
Spielberg and Lucas consciously borrowed from the 1930's adventure serials in creating Indiana Jones. "The Last Crusade" is perhaps the most fully realized story of the trilogy, not least due to the stroke of genius decision to cast veteran actor Sean Connery as Indy's missing archeologist father, Professor Jones.
After a prologue in which we learn how Indiana Jones got his start in archeology, the story proper begins with Indiana learning that his father has disappeared from a research project seeking the long-missing "Holy Grail." Indiana, assisted by his academic friend Dr. Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliot), and his father's attractive blonde co-worker, Dr. Elsa Schniender (Alison Doody), takes off in pursuit. The group quickly find themselves in a desperate race with a group of Nazi plotters to reach the Holy Grail first.
The race for the Grail ends in a virtual tie at an ancient and obscure temple in the deserts of Jordan. Here, Indiana and his friends must survive a betrayal and unlock a series of archeological puzzles to find the Grail and save Indy's father.
This movie was the best of the trilogy. The priceless interaction between Connery and Harrison is worth the movie all by itself. The familiar features of an Indiana Jones adventure are all here. The potentially sensitive subject of the biblical legends about the Holy Grail itself is nicely handled. This movie is very highly recommended to fans of the Indiana Jones series and to newer viewers looking for an entertaining story.
