Why It's the Last Crusade

 * 1) This is by far the most ambitious film ever made, with The Last Crusade managed to be the strongest chapter of the entire trilogy.
 * 2) The idea of finding the Holy Grail before the Nazis do was new to the table.
 * 3) Great fight scenes such as Indiana Jones fights on a Mark VII Tank.
 * 4) Great music score that was composed by John Williams.
 * 5) It has memorable quotes, such as:
 * 6) *If you are a Scottish lord, then I am Mickey Mouse!
 * 7) *It belongs in a museum!
 * 8) * He chose, poorly.
 * 9) Amazing cinematography, just like the original two films.
 * 10) The pacing is well-done, although it can be a bit faster, or slow at the same time (as mentioned down below).
 * 11) It has an amazing flashback in 1912 where Indiana Jones was younger that he failed attempts to steal the Coronado, which is a nice callback to a future show in the 1990s, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
 * 12) As mentioned above, the scene where Elsa Schneider intentionally selects a wrong cup for Walter Donovan, causing him to rapidly age and crumble into a skeleton, causing him to flew off, destroying him, and dies in dust after drinking from it is very horrifying.
 * 13) The action scenes are still great, such as Indy and his dad escaping from Castle Brunwald.
 * 14) Like the first two films, the action scenes are still memorable and awesome, especially the tank chase scene.
 * 15) The film has some likable characters such as Henry Jones, Sr, played by Sean Connery.
 * 16) Interesting revelation that Elsa is actually the first female villain in the franchise, which is one of the best plot twists in the history of cinema.
 * 17) The scene where Indy's dad scares the seagulls with his umbrella to make the Messerschmitt plane crash was amusing and states that he remembered his Charlemagne.
 * 18) It is a huge improvement over Temple of Doom, despite being flawed.
 * 19) Great direction by Steven Spielberg.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While the plane chase scene is awesome, the special effects for that scene were very mediocre and have not aged well in late 1980s standards.
 * 2) Although the pacing is pretty good, the pacing can be a bit rushed at times, like going faster, or going slow at the same time.
 * 3) Donovan's death can scare some viewers.

Reception
The film was well-received by critics, audiences, and the fans of the series, Roger Ebert praised the sequence depicting Jones as a Boy Scout with the Cross of Coronado, comparing it to the "style of illustration that appeared in the boys' adventure magazines of the 1940s". He said that Spielberg "must have been paging through his old issues of Boys' Life magazine...the feeling that you can stumble over astounding adventures just by going on a hike with your Scout troop. Spielberg lights the scene in the strong, basic colors of old pulp magazines. There was only one film critic that panned the film was Andrew Sarris in The New York Observer. It holds 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 72 reviews, with an average rating of 7.94/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "Lighter and more comedic than its predecessor, Indiana Jones, and the Last Crusade returns the series to the brisk serial adventure of Raiders while adding a dynamite double act between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery." Metacritic scores the film a 65/100 "Generally favorable reviews", while IMDB gave the film an 8.2/10 rating.

This is by far one of the best chapters in the history of the Indiana Jones franchise.
