Sean Patrick Flanery as Indiana Jones running on top of a train and using his trademark bullwhip for the first time. This is my only vague memory of watching Young Indiana Jones on T. V. My recollection is so cloudy that I forget that the scene came not from the show but a flashback from the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Not a good start for a review of a series chronicling the hard boiled archaeologist’s youth. The DVD set is the first part of marketing blitz for Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Crystal Skull. This is a review of Volume 2: The War Years. Young teenagers probably will love this. Adult fans like me will want something closer to old school Indiana Jones action. While Indiana gets into mature predicaments as a WWI soldier/spy, the action and writing aren’t good. Like in Volume 1 Lucas gives us a beautiful looking box set packed with historical documentaries. I just don’t think the package is worth the expensive price. The War Years follows 17 year old Indy ( Sean Patrick Flanery) as he experiences the major events of World War I. It’s 1916 and America refuses to get tangled up in the mess in Europe. So Indy enlists in the Belgian Army with its lax recruiting standards. Posing as Corporal Defence, he suffers the trenches then quickly enters the French Secret Service. Each episode has Indy embarking on a risky mission, getting into some kind of trouble, and meeting a famous historical figure. I don’t much care for the series. I dislike how the show ties Indiana Jones’s childhood with historical events. It limits the number of creative plots. Though, it does have some good parts. Sorry River Phoenix, Sean Patrick Flanery is forever Young Indiana Jones. He looks the part and plays him as reckless kid thirsty for adventure. Production values are high for T. V. The episodes are big scale and were shot location around the world. Some episodes like.
