Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Has anyone seen it yet? Opinions? Comments?


*SPOILER*




My general feeling is that it was good, but different, from the original trilogy. Certainly wasn't as good as the originals, but I think it dealt with Harrison Ford's aging well. The aliens, however, were just too weird. I say they could have done better with a different mythological artifact.

I saw it this weekend and was very happy. I intentionally expected the worst just so I wouldn't be disappointed. I was not.

I didn't think it was different because all three Indiana Jones movies before it were so drastically different. This one had a unique feel to it, but they all do.

The only real difference I saw was Indiana is older and he didn't fuck anybody in this one. Instead of going out and banging a bunch of whores, he decided to stick with the old chick. That's a fairly realistic thing although I would have hoped that Indiana was still out banging broads. Oh well.

It's VERY difficult for me to relate to my childhood and I did not judge this movie like I normally judge movies. There are few sacred, innocent things left in my life. I want to make sure that Indiana Jones is one of them, DAMN IT!

I may need to watch this one again. When I went to go see it I was waste-cased, and it was a bit of a spontaneous decision to go to the theatre (it worked really well for Beowulf -- not so much for Indiana Jones). It seemed to me to be similar to the last two Pirates movies where there was a ton of plot points that were really rushed and kinda smashed together, and I got a little fatigued by the constant movement of the story. Did you guys feel that way or do I just need to watch this movie again with a fresh sense of awareness??

I'm not arguing with you, but are you saying that any of the previous Indiana Jones movies were any different?

Temple of Doom was one cable recently. When I watched it, there were definitely elements that were a bit corny/kiddie for my tastes these days, but Temple of Doom is grandfathered in and therefor immune to scrutiny. I noticed a few of these corny/kiddie type of things in the new one.

Maybe that's what I miss about my childhood. I didn't notice stupid shit when I was just a kid. Maybe I can learn to be stupid again.
