The anticipation has finally been broken as Indiana Jones clawed it’s way through it’s first barrage of snivelling critics at it’s world premier at the prestigious Cannes film festival.

After 19 years Harrison Ford returns as the whip happy, wise cracking adventurer, armed with a few new faces including Aussie beauty Cate Blanchett, that plays fearless Russian villain Agent Spalko complete with dominatrix style military uniform and angular black bowl cut, as well as Hollywood hot property Shia LaBeouf.

Warranting a quick mention, Cate looked stunning in a dusty lilac gown tightly belted at the waist to reveal her post bub bod, after giving birth to her third son, Ignatius, less than five weeks ago and Calista looked simple and chic in a azure blue floor length off the shoulder gown!

But getting back to brass tacks… let’s be honest how critical can we be of a 65 year old man in a hat with a whip, in a movie about a crystal skull? With just days from it’s opening in cinemas around the world, as a fan of the franchise I can only hope that when John Williams’s famous theme music comes pumping through those speakers, I will for the next 122 minutes find my inner child again, and be caught up in the fun, adventure and bravado of the Indiana Jones magic.

Update - Word from Cannes is that the end of the premiere of Indiana Jones on Sunday night was met with a three and a half minute standing ovation! Not an easy feat to achieve - critics at the Cannes Film Festival can be very picky and hard to please. Congrats Indy, you’ve still got it!
