Cassandra's Dream Vs Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Cassandra's Dream is utter carp. A really dreadful film starring my actor of the year (so far) Colin Farrell, the brilliant Sally Hawkins, the reliable Ewan Mcgregor and the genius that is Tom Wilkinson. It is written and directed by Woody Allen and it is awful - ooh especially Farrell's and Mcgregor's Cockney/mockney (Australian?) accents. Truely AWFUL. (4.5)

Indi's finally back then, to buckle and swash and whip-crack-away against cold-war villainaries and the usual and not-so-usual baddies. He's older, wiser ... definitely older. Harrison is great in Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (can't believe J.K. Rowling let that one get away) and the film is deffo unmakeable/uncarry-onable without him. Assisted by a supporting cast of who-cares-could-be-anyones, the film is pure escapism and makes no apologies to believability. It rattles by at pace from one escapade to another, from one plot twist to the next and from one gag to.... Very enjoyable and I'm sure by its success there'll be at least one more outing to come for Indi. (7.1)
And the winner is: Indiana Jones by a clear head ( see what I did there ).
