The Nutshell

One of the greatest films ever made and the two pretty solid ones that followed.

The
Lowdown

I reviewed the first incarnation of Indiana Jones DVD releases in 2003, a review I’ve reprinted on page two of this article HERE. Not enough has changed since then to warrant any major upheaval of score or some massive awakening. In truth, I haven’t watched them since I did for those reviews. Watching them again the week before I saw the latest film (my review) only reminded me how fitting a trilogy is for these films and how the latest one would have to be really special or else ruin the very nice well-rounded little tale told from 1981 – 1989.
