Trivia:
The music playing in the scene where Indy meets Adolf Hitler is adapted from the "Königgrätzer Marsch" by Johann Gottfried Piefke (1815-1884). more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: It has been suggested by many viewers that the X on the library floor is missing when Indy attempts to break through. In fact it is still there and is visible. It isn't nearly so obvious as when viewed from above, but that's rather the point they're making. more

Excellent!, 27 August 2003
8/10
Author: Scott LeBrun from Winnipeg, Canada

It is now 1938 and Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) sets off on a new adventure - this time, to find and rescue his professor father (Sean Connery) who disappeared while on a quest to locate the Holy Grail.

A noticeable improvement over part two; while not quite as good as the first movie, it's still adrenaline-pumping, intriguing entertainment, with nary a dull moment. Best part of the movie is the chemistry between Ford and Connery, who make a convincing father-and-son duo (despite being only 12 years apart in real life). They play off each other well and it's the strained relationship between Indy and his father that provides the movie with some of its more interesting moments. We even get to see Indy as a young man in the opening sequence, and the late River Phoenix does an admirable job in the role.

Once again, there is a sequence designed to provoke a reaction among the more squeamish viewers; in the first movie, it was snakes, in the second, it was insects, here it's rats. GROSS!

This is a worthwhile action-adventure that holds up as a solid example of its genre.

8/10
