Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is my personal favorate of the franchise. Once again Indy is battling the Nazis to find the Holy Grail. The cup used by Christ in the last supper. This movie has the perfect beginning when you see young Indy on his first adventure. You see him trying to retrieve a spainsh artifact from a band of thugs. Then it goes back to real time and he's trying to retrieve that same artifact. It's one of my favorate openings to a movie.
Later in the film, Indy is approached by a man asking him to go on a mission to find the Holy Grail. This becomes personal to him because his father had been looking for the Holy Grail his whole life and his father has been kidnapped by the Nazis. Sean Connery plays Indy's father he establishes his character so well from the moment he makes his first appearence. You can tell what kind of person he is right away.
The action in this movie I think is the best in any Indy movie. There's a scene when Indy's fighting aboard a tank and that was very suspenseful. Another suspenseful scene is when Indy is nearing the Grail. He's trying to prove his worth to take posession of the Grail I was on the edge of my seat on that scene. Also the humor in this movie is the best in the franchise. There are some very entertaining banter between Indy and his father.
Some people will say that The Last Crusade is the best Indina Jones movie. I say The Last Crusade is one of the best movies of all time. I think the best Indiana Jones movie does not do this film justice. Of course Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade gets 5 stars out of five.
