I liked seeing an older Indy still trying to do his old action stuff and falling a little short. It showed character. It is also a testiment that he still could do all those things and survived long enough to even try.

He was still badass at 60, and I would welcome another chapter.

Wait so he’s willing to make the star wars movies into 3D but not into Blu Ray?? that’s gay!

The epic let down that was the last Indy movie should be the last. Plus, Harrison Ford is well into his 60’s, he’s old as dirt by action hero standards.. anyway the last thing the world needs is “Indiana Jones and the Geriatric Journey to the Early Bird Breakfast at Denny’s”

lol
no.
it sucked balls. i remember vividly leaving the theatre and saying to myself “this was BAD” because i simply DID NOT like it, and its okay to have this opinion…because TO ME it sucked. im not “determined to hate it”

and yes, indy did have fake scifi things in the recent movies..liek the voodoo doll thing…but dude….the aliens were SO LAME

and rodney, it wasnt just a fridge thing. it was a fridge being blown up by a NUCLER EXPLOSION

and i see you also ONLY said “swinging on vines” which was convinient for your argument but we all saw the movie and remember the monkeys with shia leboufs hair do

the recent ones also had their superstition, but this one was NOT indy, and yes, it did go over the top.

so everyone above me, if you didnt liek the movie. its FINE. its your opinion and you have your reasons not to like it. and i wholeheartedly agree.

also if you disagree its fine, if you liekd the movie then youre better off then me, i mean at least you dont feel ROBBED, at least you had a good time

but its not fair to say that people who didnt liek it are “determined to hate it before seeing it so they have to stick to their story”
i saw it and did not like it period

We also saw Indy have a chase fight on mining coal cars on tracks that belonged in an amusement park and survive leaping from a plane with a woman and a boy with nothing but an inflatable raft to keep him safe.

But people think a falling fridge or swinging on vines was “over the top”

The movie fit in nicely with all the others. but it seems people were determined to hate it before seeing it so they have to stick to their story.

We saw a trunk open and spirits melting germans and we saw a man pull a beating heart out of someone’s chest while he was still alive…I mean was aliens really that far fetched? I don’t think 4 was as bad as people say it is. I’m not a star wars fan and I’ve never been (even the older ones). I do however think THX-1138 is a great film by him and think he’s capable of doing so much more. I think Lucas is either spent on ideas and he’s a hack now….or he’s afraid to do something different. Don’t start yelling at me for not liking star wars, I understand it’s impact; just never really thought they were good movies personally.

I for one am glad lucas is looking for a “better way” to do the 3D Star Wars. I’ve seen a few new 3D movies, most recently Bolt. The technology is great, but I usually walk away thinking I could take or leave 3D as a must have movie experience.

Animated movies look very 3D already, so the step up to real 3D illusion isn’t very dramatic. The novelty usually wears off during the movie.

There seems to be a limit as to how far out of the screen the images can project without drawing the viewer out of the experience. At disneyland I’ve seen some crazy 3D effects but it is usually a lone object on a blank background moving slowly. It seems harder to make fast moving objects on a busy background pop out of the screen. I wonder if they keep the depth very tame to limit confusion/headaches for the viewers.

Also, the fact that the screen has edges that limit the 3D illusion is a barrier as well.

Anyway, I still have high hopes for the tech, can’t wait to see Avatar.
