Rumble in the Jungle
I have to say that I went into this film with a great deal of trepidation having just see Shia LaBeouf in Transformers, where I was underwhelmed by his acting.
He really came through here and exceeded all my expectations. he was an important member of the cast and held his own with humor and action.
Of course, I went to see Harrison Ford and Karen Allen. Despite his age, and some slow movement in the first half of the film, he was fantastic and show why Indy will always be Harrison. Sorry, Shia, the hat will not pass to you. Allen was just so perfect as Indy's ex and there was good chemistry between them.
Ah, Cate Blanchett. I so expected a Rosa Klebb character, but we got a character reminiscent of those black clad she-devils in movies like SS Camp 5: Women's Hell. There never was a trace of emotion on her face, but could she clamp those knees together to squash that ant. Whew!
The excitement was tremendous once the film got going, and the chase through the jungle was edge-of-your-seat heart-pounding action. It didn't stop there, but to tell more would be cheating.
Indy's fear of snakes was used very effectively to generate laughs, and you could guess the ending, even though it was amazing, if you know anything at all about the myths surrounding the crystal skulls.
You will not be disappointed.
