If Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would have been released on the 24th, it would have been exactly 19 years since the last Indy adventure. 19 years. Since then, Spielberg won two directorial Oscars, George Lucas revived one of the most beloved film franchises of all time (to mixed results) and Harrison Ford… well, somewhere around Sabrina, he became a shell of his former self.
Something else happened during that 19 years. We spent the entire time thinking up the ultimate Indiana Jones adventure. An adventure so grand in scope and so endearing beyond our wildest dreams that it became just that: beyond our wildest dreams. In all seriousness, there is no way that anything Spielberg, Lucas and Ford delivered, including a film shot with the superior Frank Darabont script , would have completely satisfied any of us. Raiders was like capturing lightning in a bottle. I consider it to be one of the most flawless films ever made. It’ll never happen again so to even entertain the idea that an Indy sequel or any other adventure film could be on the same level is nigh impossible. Check out the trailer and then read the rest of the review after the jump.
