Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Indiana Jones survives an atomic test by climbing into a refrigerator, and somehow that’s not even the silliest moment in his own movie. That honor goes to Shia LaBeouf, who swings through the jungle with a crew of monkeys like he’s late for a Tarzan audition. Harrison Ford still lands every punch, and Karen Allen’s grin when she sees him again does more than any of the CGI. Everything else looks like it was shot in a parking lot with a green screen and a mood. Cate Blanchett plays a Soviet psychic villain with an accent that keeps changing zip codes. The jungle chase turns into a swarm of CGI ants, and the ending goes somewhere this series was never built to go. It made $786.6 million worldwide on a reported $185 million budget, and critics went easier on it than fans did. A 4.3 because Ford still has it and the movie keeps handing his scenes to the computer. $486 says you defend the fridge scene to a friend this week and lose.

What works: Harrison Ford still sells every punch, Karen Allen brings back real warmth, and the opening warehouse chase has the old spark.

What doesn’t: Cartoonish CGI swallows the practical stunt work the series was famous for, and the vine-swinging scene breaks whatever spell was left.

Who it’s for: Indy completists who need to see every chapter, and kids who think monkeys make everything better.
