Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade / USA / 1989
Raiders improves with age, Temple Of Doom was always a fairly nasty (if guiltily enjoyable) mistake, but this one seems to pale with each successive viewing. On release it seemed like a breath of fresh air, not too serious, now it just feels like crude slapstick, undermining the potential grandeur of its subject matter with feeble jokes and swiss- cheese plotting (how do the Jones boys get from Austria to Berlin without being caught? We’re clearly not supposed to ask). Sean Connery mugs up a storm, Harrison Ford frowns a lot, John Rhys Davies and Denholm Elliott, fine actors both, are reduced to caricatures. And the love interest is just utterly forgettable- no wonder Alison Doody disappeared into swift obscurity.
