Gene Siskel (died Feb '99) and Roger Ebert
(recovering from cancer and no longer w/TV show),
review the third Indy movie of 'Last Crusade'
when it first debuted back in 1989.

Interesting that there is not ONE speak by them
of 1984's Indy 2 'Temple of Doom' for any reflective follow-up -
- being more reliant on the first 'Raiders' film from '81.
(was T.O.D. actually 'that' bad?!)

Siskel says it decisively from the start - that this film is the
--- "LAST Indiana Jones adventure" --- [ahem]
- with praise for a slam-bang ending, but gives it a reluctant
thumbs down - frowning on its lack of humanity, and the
'father-son' match-up between Connery and Ford.

Ebert applied an enthusiastic thumbs-UP for the art and effects,
stating it may have been wise of Speilberg to 'end it at this point'
- he also decribes 'why he goes' to watch the Indy movies.

Roger's still active and reviews the latest films,
