The third episode in Steven Spielberg's rousing Indiana Jones saga, this film recaptures the best elements of Raiders of the Lost Ark while exploring new territory with wonderfully satisfying results. Indy is back battling the Nazis, who have launched an expedition to uncover the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. And it's not just Indy this time--his father (played with great acerbic wit by Sean Connery, the perfect choice) is also involved in the hunt. Spielberg excels at the kind of extended action sequences that top themselves with virtually every frame; the best one here involves Indy trying to stop a Nazi tank from the outside while his father is being held within. For good measure, Spielberg reveals (among other things) how Indy got his hat, the scar on his chin, and his nickname (in a prologue that features River Phoenix as the young Indiana). --Marshall Fine

 "I Told You - Don't Call Me Junior." February 13, 2008
Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is just back from retrieving the Cross of Coronado (a quest he's been on for years) when he gets the news. His father (Sean Connery) has picked up the trail of the Holy Grail, a quest he's been on for years. Unfortunately, Dr. Jones Senior has vanished. So Indiana sets out for Venice to find his father.
Once there, he realizes he and his father are in a race for time with the Nazis to find this holy relic. The Nazis want to use it to create an army of invincible soldiers since the cup is rumored to create eternal life from those who drink of it. The problem? The Nazis have key pieces of research the two need to locate and retrieve it. Can they find it first? Will they make it out of this adventure alive?
This movie is lighter in tone, much more like the first one then the second one. In fact, I'd say it is the lightest of all three of them with fewer gruesome images then the first two. (No, that doesn't mean this is for the squeamish, however.) The acting is good, especially the chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. They look like they are having fun together on screen. The story is clever and keeps you engaged with actions and plenty of laughs along the way. I did feel the action got repetitive in the middle, however. That's pretty much my only complaint.
This movie is really nothing more then a mindless action film. But it's very good at it. If you are looking to be entertained, this movie will do it.
 The last Indiana Jones film until 2008. April 10, 2007
James McDonald (Lancaster, California)
Rated "PG-13". Running Time: 2hrs, 07 min.
Paramount Pictures Presents, a Lucasfilm Ltd. Production. A Steven Spielburg Film.
Story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes. Screenplay by Jeffrey Boam, Directed by Steven Spielberg.
Harrison Ford, John Rhys-Davies and Denholm Elliott return for the third film.
It is the year 1938. This time Dr. Indiana Jones must go to Venice, Italy in search of The Holy Grail and the chalice that Jesus drank from during The Last Supper around 1905 years ago.
Why Indy? Well, the last archeologist had all the information of The Holy Grail they needed, however he is missing. It is Indiana Jones father, Henry (Sean Connery).
River Phoenix plays "Indiana Jones" at 15. This segment inspired a tv series "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" (1992-93) in which Harrison Ford as "Indiana Jones" in 1950 made a special appearance in the episode, "Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues".
The knight was played by Robert Eddison. The temple actually exists in Petra, Jordan. The outside of the temple was not a special effect. They were actually there. However, the inside of the temple was filmed from a studio.
Karen Allen and John Ryes-Davies reunited for the television special "The Making of Indiana Jones Adventure". The Disneyland attraction ride opened March 3, 1995.
All VHS and DVD editions of the Indiana Jones films are collectible.
Film won the Academy Award for Sound Effects Editing and nominated for Original Score.
Harrison Ford and Karen Allen will return!
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" will be released May 22, 2008.
Recaptures that Raiders magic September 3, 2006
B. Chandler (Arlington, Texas)
It may just be coincidence but this time Harrison Ford that was a carpenter is not Dr. Indiana Jones (Junior) and his last crusade (until the next film) is to obtain a cup of a carpenter.
Even though this film can stand on its own, it can be more fully understood if you watch "Raiders of the lost Ark" first.
Once again we start out with a young Jones trying to save an artifact from pillagers. This lets us know of his heroic energy and introduces his father Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery) and his obsession with the Holy Grail, even to the exclusion of his relationship with Junior.
Now grown Dr. Indiana Jones gives a class and explains that Archeology is a pretty strait forward science and not some search for legends. He receives a mysterious piece of post.
He is then approached by group of rich people that are in search of the Grail. It turns out that their top researcher has disappeared. Yep it is Professor Henry Jones. What can Indiana do but go looking for his father. He is accounted by his best friend who runs a museum Dr. Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliottt) as they team up with the last person to see his father Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody.) He gets a final warning "Do not trust anybody."
Will he find his father?
If he dies what will they have to talk about?
Does the Grail really exist?
Who are the mysterious people following him?
One of my favorite scenes is where Dr. Jones disguised in a German uniform bumps into Hitler (Michael Sheard of Star Wars fame).
Have fun watching this great film with the banter between Hennery and Junior. And remember "do not trust anybody."
Action Packed July 11, 2006
Scott (Texas)
I don't usually care for action movies, but this one was quite good. There's a chase scene or a fight scene every couple of minutes, and the film does a pretty good job of keeping things interesting without tossing in tons of irrelevant martial arts material (i.e. the Matrix).
What ties the action together is Indiana's quest to find his father and stop the Nazis from getting the legendary holy grail. Lots of secretive-type stuff goes on, which is always cool. I did have a little bit of trouble with some of the continuity of the plot at one or two points, but I found this slight obstacle easy to overlook.
Every now and then there's some comic relief, mostly brought about by Sean Connery of all people. Since he's pretty old in this movie, he doesn't contribute much to the action. That's left up to Harrison Ford, who does a great job of making you believe that archaeology professors are the toughest son-of-a-guns on earth.
The type of action you can expect to see involves motocycle riding, fist-fights on moving tanks, boat chases, trespassing through old castles, exploding airplanes, tomb exploration, and plenty of guns of course. The film makers packed it all in. Very few dull moments, and surprisingly little philosophy for something with religious subject matter in the plot.
I enjoyed this movie because it's not too gross, and it's not filled with unnecessary cussing, like tons of other action films out there. I think it's something most everybody can enjoy. It's my favorite Indiana Jones film, and beats the heck out of the Temple of Doom. Highly watchable, even if it's the only Indiana Jones movie you ever see.

Indiana Jones III : The Last Crusade.
It started with a big production after star wars, It was to be Caled "Raiders". Indy 1 was made. Big Film. It worked.
Then came a lower budget "Temple" another Indy story for fans of "Raiders". popular film continues
And now Indy III. by Now, it has turned into a comic book, almost what was originally the idea. Another Great film for Indy fans.
These films are like comic books, that's why people watch them, this is popular media, entertainment....
