MOVIE REVIEW: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (PG-13)

STORY:
It's 45 years after The Last Crusade in the films, and Indy still getting himself into deep trouble but instead of the Nazis, he finds himself in the hands of communists.

POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
Indiana has learned a couple words of wisdom, and gives them to Mutt for example: Fixing motorcycles for a living is fine as long as you truly love it. Indy tells Mutt to be nicer to his mom because 'You only get one, and sometimes not for that long.' It is shown that you shouldn't be greedy or else, Indy also tells someone that 'To be a good archaeologist, you gotta get out of the library.'

SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
since I don't want to spoil the movie for people who haven't seen it, I'll just say that near the end of the movie there are talks about gods.

SEXUAL CONTENT:
You see Indy naked in a radiation-banishing shower from his waist-up being scrubbed by people in radiation suits.

VIOLENT CONTENT:
There's quite a bit of violence in this movie, however if you were fine with the violence in the other movies you will be fine. There is a time where one of the villains get eaten by giant ants, but nothing is shown happening but ants swarming all over his body and into his mouth. There is a sword fight between Mutt and Irina, and Indy gets into a multitude of fights. Mutt gets smacked in the crotch many times. (SPOILER) At the end, Irina's eyes burst into fire, and she becomes sand and disappears into the spaceship.

PROFANITY:
Shia (Mutt) uses his favorite word; the s-word a couple of times though not as much as Transformers. People say son of a b----- a little bit, and some other milder words.

OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
A couple of teens race against a truck, in the wrong lane.

CONCLUSION:
This was one of the best movies I have seen for a while, the only problems I found was the swearing and the ants. So I'll give it a 3 out of 5.
