CANNES, France (Reuters) - Indiana Jones returns 19 years after his last adventure, and early reaction suggests the majority of Cannes film festival's notoriously picky critics are happy the whip-wielding archaeologist is back.

Harrison Ford reprises his most famous role in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," a high-octane fantasy set in the 1950s when Jones no longer faces Nazis but a KGB agent after the ultimate Cold War weapon -- mind control.

There are plenty of jokes about 65-year-old Ford's age, and he reunites with Karen Allen, co-star in the first Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" released in 1981.

"Not as easy as it used to be," Jones mutters early on.

I hope this is good. Lucas has a lot to make up for after the JarJarpocolypse that was the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Shows that there are still employment opportunities for those over 80. Just joking. Looking forward to seeing it. ;-)

I enjoyed these movies more before I knew the three of them, Ford, Spielberg and Lucas were raging liberals.

I hear that much of the movie was filmed in CT ( my home state ) and on the Big Island of Hawaii , from where I just returned from a week of R&R ...Add to that Cate is looking awful foxy ( best pic I’ve ever seen of her ! ) , and Indy’s new film is irresistible !

“I’d say 2nd most famous role.”

Well, you might have a reasonable argument that his role in “Witness” was more famous.

I always admired Harrison Ford’s talent and sense of humor, even though I’m better looking and more fun to be with.
