Editorial Reviews:

The third installment in the widely beloved Spielberg/Lucas Indiana Jones saga begins with an introduction to a younger Indy (played by the late River Phoenix), who, through a fast-paced prologue, gives the audience insight into the roots of his taste for adventure, fear of snakes, and dogged determination to take historical artifacts out of the hands of bad guys and into the museums in which they belong. A grown-up Indy (Harrison Ford) reveals himself shortly afterward in a familiar classroom scene, teaching archeology to a disproportionate number of starry-eyed female college students in 1938. Once again, however, Mr. Jones is drawn away from his day job after an art collector (Julian Glover) approaches him with a proposition to find the much sought after Holy Grail. Circumstances reveal that there was another avid archeologist in search of the famed cup — Indiana Jones' father, Dr. Henry Jones (Sean Connery) — who had recently disappeared during his efforts. The junior and senior members of the Jones family find themselves in a series of tough situations in locales ranging from Venice to the most treacherous spots in the Middle East. Complicating the situation further is the presence of Elsa (Alison Doody), a beautiful and intelligent woman with one fatal flaw: she's an undercover Nazi agent. The search for the grail is a dangerous quest, and its discovery may prove fatal to those who seek it for personal gain. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade earned a then record-breaking $50 million in its first week of release.

Summary: INDIANA JONES meets JAMES BOND!!!
Comment: The third chapter of Indiana Jones is awesome and hilarious! Sean Connery co-stars as Indy's dad who always calls him 'Junior' Indy's dad is being held hostage by Nazi's, so Indy must save his dad, and find the Holy Grail before the Nazi's do! Indy's dad makes the movie a lot funnier, like when Elsa is talking to Indy about 'how great IT was', and Indy's dad thinks she is talking to him! I also love God's booby traps while Indy was trying to find the Grail to save his dad because the Nazi's shot him! I highly recommend INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE!!!

Summary: Not as good as the other ones, sadly.
Comment: After reading the reviews of this movie, I finally rented it and well, I didn't think it was as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or Temple of Doom. I mean, don't get me wrong it's a good movie, but it was kinda ya know talky at times, ya know, adult conversations, lol. This takes place in 1938, two years after Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ah well, it wasn't dissapointing at all, it just didn't give the same good feeling as the other movies. Everybody says this was better than Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And I thought "Really?". So I decided to go with my own opinion. So, see Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and the Last Crusade.

Summary: Best sequel of the series.
Comment:
In 1938, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) has discovered a diary and a map that can lead to the holy grail of Christ. Unfortunately his father Henry (Sean Connery) has been kidnapped by the Nazis as he heads to Venice where he meets up with a gorgeous nazi woman named Dr. Elsa Schnedier (Allison Doody) and private collector Walter Donovan (Julian Glover) to help rescue Henry. After they have rescued Henry, they must try to find the Holy Grail before the Nazis do cause the Nazis want to take over the world with super nazis if they were granted the powers.
Brilliant sequel that manages to improve over the dark and gruesome "Temple of Doom" and just as good as the first installment. This is a very entertaining sequel with all the goods like great acting especially from the late River Phoenix and John Rhys-Davis as Sallah, fantastic special effects like the amazing death of Donovan, action, a little romance and of course humor. This is a great movie from both Steven Spielburg and George Lucas as they made a truly solid installment that is very satisfying.
This DVD contains excellent picture and sound with good extras like an introduction by Spielburg and Lucas, three featurettes, photo galleries and a DVD-rom PC Lego Indiana Jones demo.

Summary: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Review
Comment: With a plot reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the third Indiana Jones installment sees the return of a winning formula.
It's 1912 and young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix) risks his life to save Coronado's Cross. But his father (Sean Connery) is not impressed. We jump to 1938 and Indy (Harrison Ford) discovers that his father has gone missing while searching for the Holy Grail, a cup endowed with miraculous powers due to Jesus having drunk from it before his crucifixion. Off to Venice, where Indy is followed by a secret brotherhood, dedicated to maintaining the secret of the Grail. Indy finds his father, but Nazis kidnap them both. They escape to Berlin to find a missing diary and (literally) run into Hitler. After fleeing an airship and engaging in a dogfight, father and son head to the desert to beat the Nazis to the Grail. After a remarkable chase with a tank, Indy's dad is shot and must get to the Grail in order to save his father's life.
The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is fun to watch. Both actors have impeccable timing and are obviously enjoying themselves. And unlike Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, in which Indy's sidekicks were overall annoying, Connery's character is a worthy companion and foil. Since father and son have a past, you care about their relationship.
This installment also includes the return Indiana Jones' milder mannered side -- a hero who can be tremendously awkward when not battling bad guys or untangling ancient mysteries.
Much of the movie's success is due to a tongue-in-cheek attitude, signaled right from the start when young Indy -- played by an intense River Phoenix -- can't find the rest of his Scout troop and loudly declares that "everyone is lost but me."
Ahh, that's the Indiana Jones we know and love.
Although nothing can beat the first 10 minutes of Raiders, here we get answers to some burning questions: Why is Indiana terrified of snakes? Why the fedora? And how did he get that scar on his chin? Finally, we even learn Indiana's real name!
