They brought in Sean Connery for this one and everything, and still it went downhill from the first two. Connery isn’t bad as the elder Dr. Jones, but the rest of the movie is a fairly brainless parade of hackneyed plot and expensive stunts. The love interest this time around was certainly a step down; of course it didn’t help that she turned out to be a Nazi. Overall the quest for the Holy Grail comes across as an attempt to recapture the pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant, an effort that falls considerably short. If you want a grail movie, rent the Monty Python version instead. See if desperate
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
