Works well as an adventure comedy.
– Daniel H. Rowe
Cons: The plot was predictable and the film dragged at points. Secondary characters were poorly written.
The relation between Indiana and Elsa was forced and was strained at various points. Elsa was obvious and was a typical damsel in distress.
Typical Nazi villain.
Unclear about the conclusive importance of the holy grail. As both the Jones drank from the Grail, does that mean they’re immortal? Unclear, big plot hole.
Pros: You can see more about Indiana – with a background and good performance from River Phoenix. It was an interesting and comedic duo: Ford and Connery. The film also somewhat mocked films like it for how predictable it is.
A lot of comedy stuck its landing. The scenes in Berlin are comedy gold. Hitler signing one of this most sought after possessions like it was a typical journal was hilarious. The sets were very well designed. Each set was designed to great detail. Scene transitions were generally smooth.
Shows a little about obsession and how it can obstruct what is really important in life. It has a lot of heart and works well as an adventure comedy.
