After Obi-Wan Kenobi, Rocky Balbao, John McClane, John Rambo, and Ellen Ripley it is Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.'s turn to bring an iconic movie trilogy and his aged self back to the silver screen. The film is getting a lot of harsh criticism from die-hard fans, who are always quick to compare it to the widely reviled Star Wars prequels and blame George Lucas for the use of CGI, for the presence of aliens, for unrealistic action sequences, and a silly plot. But I think Indy is doing okay, and also keeping to the style of the series. The biggest difference between Kingdom and the earlier films may not be Soviets instead of Nazis, or extraterrestrial instead of religious artefacts, but the fact that, just like Indy himself, his original audience is twenty years older now.
