But this film reminded us why we fell in love with Indiana Jones in the first place, its Hollywood and being a Director you have to shut out all realism for a film as big as Indiana Jones

People need to realize that they haven’t done a indy film for a while its been 19 years (Spielberg and Lucas where off doing different kinds of films)
you can’t expect them to come back into a Jones film know insistently what to do and how to make it perfect
In my opinion i thought it was the BEST indy film out there and people complain about the use of CGI,
yes they used it, but is that a sin, no, its Spielberg’s movie its Lucas’s movie as the audience we really don’t have the biggest say in what they do or don’t do. Yes there where a lot of pulpy elements but to me that’s what makes it a indiana jones film. and people thought it was to ridicules and over the top, but to me it seemed like they (Lucas, Spielberg)where well aware that they where being over the top so over all I welcome it to the series

Let me start by saying this is the first movie in years I was actually excited to watch a second time.

Come on folks, enough with the anal criticism that would suggest this film somehow doesn’t live up to the Indiana Jones brand. The Indy wit, banter and cinematographical trademark are unforgetably present in this gem of a movie.

Harrison Ford is as ageless as Karen Allen is delightful and I can’t wait for the next installment of this iconic film series that truly delivers the essence of what filmmaking is all about.

I recently saw the latest installment of this epic series and all I have to say is that Cate Blanchett buthered an already murdered film. I could not tell if she was playing a Russian or English woman. Her accent was so bad, it served to diminish her pristine reputation. She has now become the modern equivalent of Jar Jar Binx from Star Wars. I honestly have no idea just how a team like George Lucas and Stephen Spielburg could have dropped the ball to this extent again. Hey guys…why don’t you go and take another story telling class and learn what makes an interesting story.

This film had its good points, like the visual effects but the characters and storyline killed it and killed it bad. Like Mr. Lucas, if you insist that Cate be in this film, then get her playing an English MI6 double agent and make her use Indianna. I like the notion of dealing with the S.American Amazon myths but Crystal Aliens….wow….you really dropped the ball. The reason why Raiders and Last Crusade worked was because it was political, and quite frankly regurgitating the now really bad cliche of “oh no, the Russians are coming” is an old, tired and obscele way to tell a compelling story.

What were you guys thinking? Next time give Indianna a light saber, get him fighting some droid and while your on set, whip out the old Millenium Falcon for good measure.

I love ya buddy, but serious…if you can’t take the heat of criticizm, don’t produce something that can’t hold a candle, or in this case a crystal alien skull to the strength of what the franchise used to be.

Harrison was of course timeless, the character of Marion at the end with the marriage scene was really spot on and it showed how much she loves him, but all in all…you really dropped the ball on this one sir. 20 years and the best you could come up with was an alien skull….here is a rule sir…don’t violate the laws of physics if you want to have some degree of credibility, especially in the electro magnetic arena.
….omg…I could go on and on.

I am soooooo disapointed.
Well at least you made it….but….come on…20 years? Time is running out for you to redeem yourself Mr. Lucas.

Over all, there was about fifty minutes of good Indy material where the movie began to slow down and take time enough to tell it’s own story. But by the time we’re discussing paturnity in that truck…. well, it all went down hill. The tree waterfalls were insulting to our intelligence. I’d rather watch a half believable struggle in African Queen, but even Temple of Dooms RAFT DIVE was somehow more believable….. Marion driving the DUCK down a c.g. tree, delivering a perfect c.g. dive took it a notch to far, and after 3 damn waterfalls…. well, I was just pretending it didn’t happen.
I tried to go with the alien thing, much as I could… But by the end, compared to Last Crusade, or any of the other tree, I felt it was lacking. No real lesson was learned, it lacked intimacy, and the damn alien close up was too much…. as was the ancient city erupting as a ship.
As far as new characters were concerned, Shia, to my suprise, pulled it off. But professor Ox was a nobody drag along, and Mac… well, mac should have died much, much earlier… or heres a idea, not been in the movies at all!

C.G. gophers, C.G. monkeys, C.G. ants… why don’t we just do C.G. indy and keep him young forever. Maybe less interesting, but if your not going to have the decency to write a half decent story line…
All in all, I know that Lucas and Spielburg love to say that Indy was just a throwback to dopy b-movies. But it was more then that, espeacially to me, and if it’s true what Spielburg said, that he was making the movie for us, well, I wish he’d given us credit for a little more story and poienecy.
