Please Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Lucas, stop making movies. The script was weak, directing was weak, acting was flat, special effects were cheesy, action sequences were way, way, way over the top, and the whole thing just felt canned and formulaic. If Temple of Doom was the weak link up until now, Crystal Skull falls somewhere between it and The Scorpion King. Maybe a little closer to Scorpion King.

No review I could write would do this movie justice. It’s the equivalent of a singer-songwriter’s lyrics set to film. The music, written and performed by the movies two leads, Glen Hansard (The Commitments) and Markéta Irglová, is just fantastic. Guy is an Irish street musician who meets Girl, a Czech pianist. Girl encourages him to record his songs and the two develop an almost-romance while working on a demo CD.
