Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

January 1992, a long line in front of the Lucerna movie theater in Prague, a ten-year-old me holding an ice cream, my dad, and finally the first Indy movie I had the opportunity to see on the big screen and not on a shabby VHS tape. As a whole, the movie is weaker by a Sphinx’s hair’s breadth or by one step taken by a breastfed pre-toddler than Raiders in terms of action, story, and the sidelining of Indy's friends (and enemies), but I realized this only after the umpteenth viewing. But all these trivial "problems" are erased by the other Jones. And thus for the third time Junior is at the peak of his powers and fully equipped. Simply love at first sight for a movie that did the impossible and exceeded my immense expectations. Respect. (20/08/2006)

Music has Mozart, painting has Da Vinci, football has Pelé, porn has Johnny Sins and film has Steven Spielberg. The Last Crusade is quite possibly the funniest, most balanced and most beautifully told big screen movie ever made in Hollywood. A thrilling ride through bombastic locations, peppered with smart wit, surprising action and such likeable clowns that James Cameron can go fuck himself. Dramatically better and more playful than the already amazing first part. A pleasure factory... 100% (29/04/2011)

This is my favorite part mainly because it features Sean Connery, who fits perfectly with Ford. In addition, there are Nazis and a fantastic meeting with Hitler. Overall, it's entertaining and very action-packed, especially the scene with the tank is simply divine. The search for the grail becomes somewhat irrelevant, as the journey is truly important here.

My favorite Indy... WHY? Because it contains several absolutely classic action scenes, several excellent gags and, above all, Jones Sr. performed by Sean Connery. The Connery-Ford chemistry works in an absolutely fantastic way, as if they both really had a family bond. Of all their scenes, my favorite is the one on the rock after the tank fell into the abyss. Everything essential is in it – humor, tension, feeling. The story may be a little weaker than in the first film, but it has a similarly magnetizing atmosphere and depth that is so lacking in Temple of Doom. And Spielberg's ingenuity in the action scenes has no limits... The others have no choice but to copy and copy. If you say “adventure film", then I hear the whip crack, and out of the corner of my eye I see a character in a hat. Top class, Dr. Jones! (18/04/2004)

When something is done for the third time, usually you already know how to do it, and even though the previous two installments of the series were not bad in any way, the third Indiana Jones represents the real peak of this mini-series and in a way also one of the peaks of its genre, which is adventure film. It doesn't take itself seriously, and that is extremely important, while also having a sufficiently high budget and an inventive screenplay that doesn't let the viewer breathe for a moment, with a great cast led by experienced Ford and Sean Connery. The two of them complement each other perfectly, resulting in a fascinating spectacle. The scene of the tank battle or the rescue in the underground labyrinth will stay in the viewer's memory for a long time. Another excellent music. Overall impression: 100%. (13/06/2006)
