Review Detail

I watched the "No Nuke" edit if this movie. This was exactly as advertised, a faster, leaner, meaner version of the movie that moves along at a brisk pace and feels much closer to the older films in spirit. I greatly enjoyed how much more mysterious the aliens were in this edit and was happy to see that they fit neatly into an Indiana Jones adventure when done correctly. I've watched Crystal Skull many times over the years and always wanted to like it and this edit has helped me find a version I greatly enjoy and will watch again. The editing is impressive overall with mostly seamless edits, but as others have pointed out, the only noticeable and slightly-jarring changes come from removing the subplot of Mutt being Indy's son. If I had to levy one criticism against this edit, it would be that Marion doesn't get much screen time in it and we don't really see her and Indy reconcile. In any event, I greatly enjoyed this edit and I recommend it to anyone wanting a new way to watch this movie.
