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.

Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett...
remember...it’s just entertainment! as soon as he’s off-screen, I stop listening.
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'
As long as they keep their politics out of the film, I don’t have a problem with their off-screen politics. I don’t ask myself if my Tupperware is made by liberals, nor do I ask about my entertainment. If I feel they’re force-feeding me an agenda masquerading as entertainment, that’s where I get off the bus.
Well said !
It seems that Ford is one of the few in Hollywood that didn't get plastic surgery...(good for him)
He IS old ! So what .
Cate looks radiant in that picture.
She does!
Karen’s still pretty - even if she is almost as old as me!
She looks the same!
...so...it may detract from the movie if he’s looking like he’d be happier in a grandpa sweater heading to the Hot Shoppes.
Ford and his young girlfriend, Calista Flockhart...
My little war against liberals.
FACIAL looks unimportant ...If he were walking around all hunched over with a big beer gut and walked as slow as a tortoise you’d have a point .
Honestly , don’t know what you see in her . Cate , on the other hand ...
Oh I still have a point.
