Indiana Jones fans i've both seen and thus reviewed every single Indiana Jones theatrically released movie. However what isn't talked about at least as much as the movies is the live action Indiana Jones prequel TV series and so well I thought that i'd put an end to that dry spell right here and right freaking now and so join me as I review the film that officially marked the return of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones with the film in question being called simply just "Young Indiana Jones And The Mystery Of The Blues" enjoy.
The plot of this film is a young Indiana Jones is working as waiter in Chicago when his boss is suddenly murdered and so it's up to the very young adventurer and his friends to help this murder before it's far to freaking late. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this film in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this film was really freaking weak which is kind of understandable given that this film is basically just two episodes of the TV show edited together but it is still a rather big issue that I personally had with this very freaking film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Sean Patrick Flanery as Indiana Jones , Harrison Ford as Older Indiana Jones and Jeffrey Wright as Sidney Bechet. Also starring in this film is Jay Underwood as Ernest Hemingway , Keith David as King Oliver , Frank Vincent as John Torrio , Frederick Weller as Eliot Ness , Maria Howell as Goldie , Nicholas Turturro as Big Al Brown , Saginaw Grant as Greycloud , Jane Krakowski as Dale Winter , David Arnott as Clifford , Victor Slezak as O'Banion , Ray Serra as Colosimo , J. Leon Pridgen II as CJ and Byron Stripling as Louis Armstrong.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / film was shockingly pretty good. I say this because there are some actors and actress that do turn in some fairly bad performances in this episode / film but at the same time there are some actors and actresses that do turn in some fairly actually good performances in this very episode / film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then for those of you who perhaps don't know this film is literally a reedited version of a pair episodes from a TV that's called simply just The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Why George Lucas chose to edit literally every single episode of this show into two feature length films is well and truly beyond me since that then creates issues with the plot of each episode but hey tho we get / got to see alot more Indiana Jones which must surely be a good thing tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then as I stated earlier on in this very review this episode / film featured the return of freaking Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and well I have to say that it was so freaking cool seeing actual Indiana Jones back again. It's just a shame that he's only in both the opening in the closing scenes of this film since he's there just to serve as a kind of storyteller which just felt like a complete and total waste of this version of this well and truly iconic character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then the whole main purpose of this show was teach kids about history which is a fine goal indeed. However tho you still have to make your episodes and your films actually good tho and while this particular episode / film is good in most respects it's bad in other respects since this episode / film doesn't feel like anything that's anywhere even close to being anywhere even near Indiana Jones and instead this episode / film instead feels more like a cheesy teenaged TV drama in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode / film takes place in the roaring nineteen twenties and as such there is a lot of shall we say choice language used when referring to people of color. Which i'm actually glad that the makers of this show kept in because it shows us the viewer how hard people of color have had it back in those days and still do have it today I only wished that they followed up on a subplot involving the character of CJ as his plotline could have been rather freaking thought provoking in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this episode / film has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty five minuets and thirty four seconds. Which is a bit on the long side when you take into consideration that this film is literally just two episodes of a TV show edited together and the real plot of the film doesn't really kick in until the forty five minuet mark as such I in all honesty think either some stuff should have been shot for this film that advances the films plotline and thus makes the films plotline a lot more stronger or these two episodes should have bee reedited in such a way that the films main plotline becomes alot more stronger as a result in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then there was some action scenes in this episode / film and that means that I have to thus actually talk about all of the action that's featured / presented to us in this very episode / film and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / film was at best OK. Which is in all honesty the best thin that I can say about an early nineties TV show since early nineties TV shows very rarely had any good action scenes in them and yeah the same thing is kinda true for this very episode / film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a much more better return to the Indiana Jones franchise for the great Harrison Ford then what Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was at least in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode / film in this very review and as such this means that this very films earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
