The addition of Connery to the cast (as Indy's father) is a nice touch, providing further insight into the character development, though it does seem to be pushed a bit past the limit at times. Still, in a film-ic version of old serials, limits were made to be pushed. There is not much time to relax during the entire running time, but I don't see that as a problem. The humor (through both the Marcus Brody and Saliah characters, as well as the interplay between the Fords) is in just about the right proportion (again though, it does push the limits). The storyline harkens back to the "Raiders" style, drawing on religious themes and including everyone's favorite bad guys: Nazis. It's flicks like this which go a long ways to atoning for past mistakes (re: "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom").… Expand

Last of the three original Indiana Jones Movies with Sean Connery. Adds a new Flair to Indiana Jones, providing good chemistry between Ford and him

Fantastic cast and direction. Borrows heavily from the format of raiders but that's hardly a flaw. Solid direction and production value all around. Shame the screenplay isn't quite as tight as raiders but it's a must watch for series fans.

It should be clear to all that The Last Crusade is easily the best in the Indiana Jones series. Its comedy and wit gives it charm and breathes new life into the series, much needed after the dark Temple of Doom.

Definitely the best of the Indiana Jones films. An effective use of comedy in an action/adventure film that doesn't take itself too seriously. I recommend this film for a fun, worry-free weekend evening.

The script is deliciously witty especially with the interplay between Ford and Connery, and the story is engaging. The action is epic, and I liked the neat sequence at the beginning that explains things such as Indy's fear of snakes and how he got the scar on his chin. Steven Spielburg does an excellent job directing, while both Harrison Ford and Sean Connery(in a masterstroke of casting) are perfectly cast as Indy and Indy's father. On the whole, exciting, witty and fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Many people will say that this movie and the first Indiana Jones movie are the best two in the whole series, and they are right!

This movie is again filled with action, excitement, adventure and humor. The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is fantastic. The music of John Williams is great as always, the main theme just doesn't get old... it's one of the most famous themes in the history of film music.

Indiana Jones is kicking some nazi butt as usual, this time pursuing the Holy Grail, and while he's at it also finding his father dr. Henry Jones senior who has been kidnapped. This time Indiana gets to see Hitler eye to eye, and he even gets his autograph.

The Last Crusade gets a score of 10 out of 10, just like the first Indiana Jones movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.… Expand

In his third (and what for years what thought to be his last) adventure, Indy is on the hunt for that ultimate treasure, the Holy Grail. Along the way he must contend with Nazis, a secret brotherhood and, of course, snakes. Sean Connery is a wonderful addition as Indy's father, and the chemistry between he and star Harrison Ford may just be one of the best in film history. The movie is a true rarity in that its attempts to outdo each preceding chase sequence succeed. Though children might have trouble interpreting the plot, this crusade is one people of all ages will enjoy.… Expand

This time, Indy's dad joins the adventure, played by Sean Connery, and the chemistry between these two gives the movie a fantastic human center quite unique to the series. They find themselves on a quest to prevent the Nazis from acquiring the Holy Grail - and yeah, although this is essentially a rehash of the original, it's just so damn much fun that you simply don't care or even really notice. I'd seen films 1 and 3 several times before I suddenly realized how similar they were, and that's the impressive strength of "Last Crusade" - you get so caught up in everything with Indy and his dad, so swept up in spectacular chase sequences, that they could be after the Ark a second time and you still wouldn't care. "Raiders" may have established this traditional Indy formula, departed from only in the very different "Temple of Doom", but it is perfected and tied with a bow here in "Last Crusade". The music is at its best, the action is at its best, the characters are at their best, and of course Spielberg is at his best. It's a straight-up A-grade thrillride.… Expand

Harrison Ford has always been charming and great in his movies. But his roles as the archeology professor with an appetite for adventures put viewers all over the world in excitement and contentment. Indiana Jones is without a doubt an unforgettable character. "The Last Crusade" is the third movie which on my opinion is the best. I've watched it countless times. The father - son relationship between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery (who plays his father) is remarkable. The wittiness, dangers situations and the funny commentaries from Ford and Connery makes this movie so much different, special and unique from the others. All that combined with the wonderful presence of the late Denholm Elliot and John Rhys Davies blasts the movie extremely high. Spielberg and Lucas did create a masterpiece which will outlive us and will always fascinate everyone.

The addition of Sean Connery and River Phoenix alone is remarkable as both were great actors. The dynamic between Indianan Jones and his father (Sean Connery’s role) is some of the best (estranged) father / son relationships in movies. Then there is River Phoenix who is only used in the introduction scenes but it is one of the best introduction scenes in movie history and tells you everything that you need to know about Indiana Jones. Also praiseworthy Paul Maxwell role here as man with the panama hat (Don't know if he is even named in the movie). Short appearance but so memorable that everyone remembers him. But lets go back to the movie. After the legendary good introduction scene Indiana Jones is informed that his father is gone missing on his search for the Holy Grail. The Grail is his fathers lifelong obsession and Indiana Jones only goes on a journey to save his father as they have a rocky relationship and are a bit estranged. This is the beginning of a legendary adventure. The story is excellent and I do not see any flaws here. It has the right pacing and a good mix of action, humor, good twists and character development. I know I sound like a fan boy here but its one of the best performances from director Steven Spielberg, writer George Lucas and the whole team. Lets go to the actors. Harrison Ford is always great in his signature role (Even in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) and this is his best performance as Indiana Jones. I already praised Sean Connery and this is also one of his most remembered roles outside of James Bond. River Phoenix died far to young and would be possibly one of the most acclaimed actors in Hollywood today. Paul Maxwell shines in such a small role. John Rhys Davies and Denholm Elliot return to their roles and this improves this movie too. Both are fan favorites and well remembered characters too. They have again not the longest screentime but make a great performance. Then there are the antagonists I wont spoil here. All are excellent and enjoyable villains. This is such a great cast and an awesome performance. The script, actors and directing accomplish each other. This movie has so many memorable scenes be it the humorous (Non spoilery example: No tickets, the special “autograph” or the stamp joke), action scenes (No spoilers here) or character developments (Again no spoilers here). Again the sets and special effects are top notch and everything looks amazing and believable. Also again we got the famous and legendary John Williams for the score. He should have deserved more credits as he improved every movie where he made the score. Overall while there is no perfect movie this comes close. It became the gold standard for Indiana Jones movies and action adventures while also becoming a cult classic. I rewatch it once in a while because it is a movie you can enjoy again and again.… Expand

Trotting from Utah to Venice to Berlin to the Middle East in search of the Holy Grail, Ford is forced to team up with estranged father Sean Connery. The two stars have a natural chemistry, and even though some of the big setpieces seem like rehashes of the first film, Crusade possesses a sweetness that no other Indiana Jones movie can claim. Even when Ford and Connery are pursuing game as big as the Grail, their personal quests keep bringing them back to each other. It's a small world after all.… Expand

This remains one of the best conclusions to one of the best movie trilogys of all time. While it once again feels like the other two, it has better moments, and introduces us to India's father, who we start to see a strong father son relationship.

This movie has a lot going for it, but for me it doesn't do that much. It has entertaining scenes in it, but sometimes they become a little stupid. But it does have a fun adventure.

Without falling short of Raiders of the Lost Ark, it's a great trilogy closing, with everything an adventure movie needs. Indiana Jones forms an unequal but powerful couple with his father. To see with a large bag of popcorn.

This is the third movie in the franchise and the final movie in the original trilogy and follows Indy searching for the Holy Grail, accompanied by his father.
I know that I've said this in every Indiana Jones review so far but Harrison Ford is still amazing as Indiana Jones with his charisma and intelligence making him such a likeable character. Sean Connery is also amazing as his father and they both share similar characteristics; intelligent, charismatic and daring. Their chemistry and the way they work together on screen is also great and they genuinely feel like father and son. What I also like about his character is that he doesn't feel slapped in and unnecessary just because they could have him in the movie and actually serves an important purpose to the story.
I liked the side-characters of Sallah (who is back again from his first appearance in Raiders) and Marcus Brody as you could tell their characters weren't completely sure what they were getting into and had some quite goofy characteristics. However, this wasn't in an annoying way and instead added a much lighter tone to the story when it was required which helped give their characters a good reason to be there.
There was definitely comedy in the previous two (well, maybe not as much in Temple of Doom) but in this film there are many more laughs than in the previous, many of the jokes coming from Indy's interactions with his father and that's another reason why I love this duo so much.
The action is done very well like the other two films with great cinematography and lots of tension. I wouldn't say the action is as good as Raiders but it was certainly better than Temple of Doom.
I prefer this one more than the others in the trilogy because it features a more personal story whereas in the others it was just a case of 'hey, let's go on an adventure'. What makes this one more personal is that it explores Indy's life much more by showing his younger days at the start and then obviously introducing his father which adds a lot more depth to the story.
Overall, I loved this film. I liked it more than the other two because of its more personal story and more memorable characters. The action, while still great, isn't as good as Raiders but I found the great story and setting to be the highlight and stole the show for me. I would highly recommend this film, especially if you want to relieve yourself of the dark tone of Temple of Doom.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, this film has screenplay by Jeffrey Boam, and has Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in the lead roles.

After the debacle of "Temple of Doom", this film intensified interest in the franchise and revive her success. In fact, the team formed by Ford and Connery is unstoppable and gives pleasure to see how professional is their interaction on screen. There are two established actors, Ford is very well suited with his role and Connery is a veteran with decades of experience and versatility. This clearly benefited the film, where these two artists outshines the rest of the cast, especially in humor moments, tearing laughter to the public. The script is good, all that "Temple of Doom" had to be and was not, recovering the vivacity and adventurous spirit that had been so intense in "Raiders of Lost Ark". The final sequences, filmed in one of the most stunning scenery I know - the Nabataean ruins of Petra in Jordan - are worthy of staying in memory of any movie lover. The photography is excellent, the visual and sound effects have great quality, some costumes were very well thought out and the soundtrack, not surprisingly, has fulfilled her role.

It's no coincidence that there is a division on what is the best movie of this franchise: "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or this one. There are some similarities between them, especially concerning the quality of final product. For me, if "Raiders" had a greater script and spirit of adventure, "Last Crusade" offset any fault with better humor, a stunning scenery and some breathtaking action scenes.… Expand

Dessa vez Steven Spielberg acertou tom em cheio. O filme é divertido, a trama nos cativa, os personagens estão muito bem colocados, e mesmo que algumas poucas decisões tenham sido previsíveis, devemos levar em conta a época na qual o filme foi lançado.

O filme não tenta se superar a cada cena - como no segundo - e flui muito bem. O relacionamento entre pai e filho aqui é interessante. Claro que não temos um aprofundamento nisso, visto o gênero do filme, mas gostei muito de saber sobre o passado do Indiana, principalmente o primeiro ato do filme, que achei sensacional. As cenas de luta estão muito melhores que nos filmes antecessores. Você realmente fica aflito e o diretor sempre acha uma maneira de nos surpreender. Os momentos de alivio cômico funcionam muito bem - eu me peguei dando gargalhadas em vários momentos.

Também devo dar um destaque a fotografia, cenografia, ost lendária, e a própria caracterização de algumas culturas. É uma pena que os filmes antecessores não mantenham esse nível, pois essa obra aqui é claramente GOLD.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a definite step up from the previous one. It has genuinely funny moments in it, with Jones's father being my favorite character. I like the twist that the love interest was a Nazi the entire time, and how Jones does not end up in a relationship with her at the end. Normally in action-hero type movies back then the guy always got the girl, so it was nice to see that not happen here. I thought the first part of it was not very good, mainly because Jones was in the wrong to steal the golden cross from the people that discovered it. Sure, he is entitled to his opinion that it belongs in a museum, but since he did not discover it, it is not his call to do that. It also does not really tie into the rest of the film, so including it in there makes the film worse. I like how the movie argues that historical items ought not to be kept to oneself, but in the aforementioned case specifically I thought Jones was in the wrong. Some of the logic of the film also does not make much sense. For example, they discover the grave underneath the church, despite it being there for hundreds of years. No one in that time has discovered such a grave, even after renovations to the church and turning it into a library? Also, when the petroleum, I think it was, was set on fire, both Jones and the Nazi should have been dead there with no possible chance of survival. Despite these flaws, this entry into the series is a good and fun watch.… Expand

Harrison Ford is just so amazing as Indy the addition of Sean Connery is perfect. His interaction with Indy is so hilarious I was gut busting laughing almost the entire time when these two were interacting. The plot is familiar but it doesn't really matter because Spielberg directs everything with such bravado that I was completely onboard once again. Nobody understands adventure better than Spielberg and this movie is so purely adventurous and fun! The action sequences are better than most blockbusters made today despite this film being 30 years old and the finale is so adrenaline fueled and I loved it. Everything is so practical and authentic and that is probably why it is still engaging.

Outside of being known as James Bond, I personally believe this to be Sean Connery's greatest role outside of Bond -- and a high recommendation for anyone interested to view any of the films which depict the dangerous exploits of Indiana Jones.
In terms of action, there are some great set pieces in this one including a boat chase through the canals of Venice and race to beat a tank much later in the film. Sound effects, especially punches and slaps, have never sounded as good as in this film; elevating the distinct brutal nature of this series further.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed this film, I admittedly didn't like Indy's love interest in this one - she isn't as memorable as what we were given in previous entries. I also found her true motives to be confusing. This is a minor complaint regardless, and shouldn't distract from the great cinematic fun to be found within.
In conclusion, a strong recommendation from me. Even if you're not into these sorts of epics, you'll be sure to find some levels of enjoyment out of the relationship between the two main leads. It's well-paced, witty, and doesn't take itself too seriously - which is what I believe Indiana Jones has always been about from the start.… Expand

Als Unterstützung hat Indy seinenIm dritten Abenteuer von Idiana Jones (Harrison Ford) muss er den heiligen Gral finden, welchem Jesus Christus gehörte. Dabei muss er schneller sein als die Nazis, den der Gral soll, ewiges Leben schenken. Als Unterstützung hat Indy seinen Vater Professor Dr. Henry Jones (Sean Connery) dabei. Dieser interessiert sich ebenfalls für die Mythologie und sucht sein ganzes Leben schon den Gral.

Der letzte Kreuzzug gilt als der beste Film der Reihe, welches ich auch bestätigen kann. In diesem Teil wird der Fokus mehr auf die Reise des Schatzes gesetzt und nicht die Action. Auch erfahren wir mehr, über Indiana Jones heraus und die Beziehung zu seinem Vater. Der Vater hat zwar die gleichen Interessen wie sein Sohn, aber vom Charakter her sind sie das absolute Gegenteil. Das Duo Ford und Connery ist das beste Duo der gesamten Reihe. Man könnte wirklich glauben, dass das Vater und Sohn sind. Während in den Vorgänger die Reise bis zum Schatz nicht allzu schwer war und man ziemlich schnell sich dort befand und auch innerhalb eines Landes. Ist hier der Schatz ziemlich schwer zu finden und um diesen zu finden, müssen sie mehrere Länder bereisen. Der ganze Film hat auch andere Filme inspiriert, vor allem Fluch der Karibik 4 der die absolut gleiche Handlung hat. Der letzte Kreuzzug hat gezeigt, was ein Abenteuerfilm braucht, und zwar gute Rätsel, Spannung, Action und auch Humor. Die gesamte Reihe bringt viel Humor mit sich, auch hier ist der Humor vor allem zwischen Ford und Connery.
