Well I went to see this last night - and it did exactly what I thought: sucked. IMO this was no Indy film, this was a Mummy film with Dr. Jones in it. Started out ok, then became to fantastic and ridiculous for me. I feel George Lucas honestly has no idea WTF he's doing these days. He butchered two of the greatest trilogies & someone needs to stop him. This was as heartbreaking as Spider-Man 3.
Mood after the movie:

It didn't really even look good in the trailers.
Way too much use of cgi even for normal locations turned me off. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

CGI wasn't even the problem...I won't say anymore for spoiler reasons.

thanks for the heads up guys, although I am going to admit, I sort of liked Spider-man 3. Sure the end went too fast and they didn't need to make it so quick and end with certain guys, but they ......... I dunno. For what they did I know they had their reasons and I did enjoy watching it.

i just saw it. i gotta say for the most part i liked it. but i'm with you on the story. the first 75% was pretty good but then it got too fantasy sci-fi for an "indy" movie. maybe if the last 20 mins were written differently, it would've been a better "indy" film. but then again, what do i know? i also liked spider-man 3.

This post has NO SPOILERS:
Saw it last night. I will say i was disappointed. We have to keep in mind though that Indy movies are always cheesy/corny and a bit over-the-top in all regards. I just think its hard for them to bring out a indy type movie (in this day and age) when its competing against big box office action hits like Iron man, batman, etc that do it right. On a side note: I think all the hype hurt it. Like SP3, lots of hype was drilled up for it. I will say i'd watch SP3 any day of the week over this last Indy movie. -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

I think I liked Indiana Bones & the temple of Poon the best.
Then Indiana Bones, Raiders in the Dark Indiana Bones and the Ass Crusade Indiana Bones & the KingDOME of Skully That serious was so much better. If you guys like stuff like that, then you should also look for Laurel Croft's Womb Raider. Clearly, I am joking and made this crap up -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

We have cool movie titles, like "The Young and the Breastless" or "Meatless in Seattle". OH man, how I dream of having such a job where I just come up with titles. I can do it 20 titles/min, seriously. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

How can anybody like Spiderman3? His spidey sense completely dissappeared by then. Thats like making a superman movie where he doesnt fly or doesnt have super human strength.

horrible movie. so ridiculous that you cant help but laugh. so many things wrong, i dont even know where to start. btw, only 6.50 here with student discount

it was OK. i agree that it was a little too science fiction esque but still. it was entertaining.
no where near as good as the originals though i will say that much. i can't believe they are already talking about another with shia. --------------------  Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;) |
