Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

The other DrC and I viewed the new Indiana Jones film this afternoon. Since you may not have seen it, I will avoid including "spoilers" here.

The new film has all of the features we've come to expect from an Indy movie. The action is non-stop, the settings are exotic, the villains are bizarre, the sidekicks are interesting, and a willingness to suspend disbelief is required. The plot "works," it doesn't have too many holes.

I give nothing important away to say that the overseas settings are in Peru. This setting made the film particularly interesting to us since we were in Peru for a couple of weeks earlier this spring. We'd seen some of the settings used in the film.

The bottom line is the film was fun and we'll probably see it again when the DVDs become available.
