My Take on the Movie
What I loved about this movie is that it really pulls together the Indiana Jones movies and allows them to be concluded in a way that was dignified, action-packed and classic. The grandious nature of the film, the action-packed scenes and more allow for the movie to transport any viewer into a whole new time and era. You will be on the edge of your seat and be clamoring for more until the very end! While I am sad to know this is the end of the era of Indiana Jones movies, I am happy that the sendoff was so sweet!
