Hold on to your hats… Indi is BACK!
Last night, the stars of Sydney were out in full force for the Australian premier of “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull”, one of the stars of the film, who plays a brilliant villainess Cate Blancett, stepped off a plane from Cannes and straight on to the red carpet delighting fans and the A List guests.
She came into the 2 packed out newly refurbished George St cinemas and introduced the film… she summed it up perfectly by saying “…it was a lot of fun to make and just as fun to watch”, as the lights lowered and the projector started rolling she walked through the excited crowd, making little ghost like noises as the audience was plunged into darkness… there is nothing like a movie star with a sense of humour.
122 minutes later as the credits rolled, there was no doubt that this forth Indi movie was a hit.
I am going to refrain from giving away anything from the fairly predictable plot, however I will say this… if you go an see this movie as a fan of the last 3, you won’t be disappointed, Harrison Ford as the rogue adventurer has stayed true to the character, and humorously comes to terms with his age.
Shia LeBeouf left me wanting to see more, in his first scene he is very reminiscent of a young James Dean, Ray Winstone plays a great devils advocate, and the screen lit up when heroine Marion Ravenwood, played by Karen Allen came back into Indi’s life.
There is a real authenticity to the film, where not a second goes by when you forget you are in a Indiana Jones adventure, for 2 hours I felt like a kid again, it was pure, unadulterated movie magic.
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull opens in cinemas everywhere TODAY!
