The much anticipated Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has it’s star performer, Harrison Ford battling with a group of evil Russians hunting for a lost artifact with supposed psychic powers.
Crystal Skull made it’s debut on Sunday, May 18th at the Cannes Film Festival and according to some who previewed the film, it may not have been worth the 19 year wait.
Ford had this to say about the lackluster acceptance of his latest project:
I’m not afraid at all. I expect to have the whip turned on me. It’s not unusual for something that is popular to be disdained by some people, and I fully expect it. I work for the people who pay to get in. They are my customers, and my focus is on providing the best experience I can for those people.”
The movie has been shrouded in secrecy until it’s weekend unveiling at Cannes. Normally the film would have made the rounds with numerous press screenings but director Steven Spielberg and creator-producer George Lucas opted for the showy splash of the famed film festival to make their big entrance.
Crystal Skull has been so hotly anticipated that it will be virtually immune from critics’ opinions. The film is expected to put up blockbuster box-office numbers when it opens globally Thursday, May 22.
