Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade


Just like how Temple of Doom felt very different in tone compared to Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Last Crusade is different yet again.  It's much lighter, and a whole lot more funny.  The banter between father and son and the clumsiness of the father, makes you laugh in almost every single scene.  This made the film very enjoyable, but has the side of effect of making you take it less seriously.  The whole movie was paced well and there wasn't any sections where it felt boring.  I loved the various exploration scenes, and the best part of the film has to be in the film's climax with all the traps.  It was memorable and it was clever in how Indiana figures out the solution and pass the traps.  The action and stunts were visually spectacular and still holds up well to this day.  They were more over-the-top, sure, but it blends in well with the humor, and it's not as if this film has aliens in it (which would have been going too far).
