The budget was in place and off went Spielberg to make an epic, successfully. Everything about it is huge- Jones is saving the planet from the Nazis for the second time. Jones and his style, Temple of Doom is an awesome Action, Adventure flick! Last Crusade rights the ship again with a go-for-broke production. Raiders is a spectacular introduction to Dr. This is probably the best installment of the Indiana Jones series. Still though, fans of this one will definitely want to pick up this excellent release, of which, throughout the entire presentation, I only came across a handful of things I thought could possibly be improved upon technically. Nevertheless, the bottom line is that it still pales in comparison to the level of across-the-board excellence that was achieved in the original 1981 movie. For all its faults and shortcomings (perhaps most of all, River Phoenix' laughably terrible haircut as the young Indy), the film succeeds in hitting the key notes at the proper moments, thus drumming up enough of the right combination of story and thematic elements, action and humor to make it worthwhile. While 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' isn't by any means what I would consider a stellar film, it was still an enjoyable and memorable theatrical experience, and in my opinion, easily ranks as the best sequel in the series. Last Crusade also bookends the trilogy well since the artifact he is after is related to God.

Connery adds his own whit & charm along with Indy's usual counterparts who where missed in The Temple of Doom. Not to mention that bringing in Bond aka Sean Connery as Indy's dad was perfect casting.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the answer. After the dark middle chapter it was time for Indy to return to form and more lighthearted fair. I loved it as a child and I still love it. It is one of my personal favorite adventure movies of all time. It is also the greatest sequel of all time. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) is an Action Classic adventure better film than Temple of Doom, is still the best follow up in the trilogy and clever.
