Thread: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I just saw this today and all I can say is WOW. It's the best one yet.

sorry no spoilers from me!

Haha... I think you've said that just for the sake of controversy.

Spoiler for Indiana Jones 4:

To be honest, I think the prospect of aliens is a LOT more believable than God making Nazi's faces melt. So I had no problems with the alien thing, although lots of people did.

Aside from that though, there were also lots of moments when you just went, oh COME ON! Like the fridge. No human could have survived being tossed miles in the air and god knows what speed in a fridge. Oh, and then Indy just gets that nasty radiation scrubbed off. Handy.

Also I find it slightly unlikely that you could fall off Iguazu falls in a boat, and emerge totally unscathed, and still in the boat.

I'm not really complaining... but if anyone says you have to suspend your disbelief, you should slap them in the face, because this is too far. All it does though, is it makes the movie a bit of a farce. There's nothing wrong with that, but it means it just doesn't take itself as seriously as the last few films, which is why some fanboys probably won't like it.

That would be fine; just because it doesn't take itself seriously doesn't mean it was a bad movie. Actually, it was very entertaining, but unfortunately, the movie did take itself seriously with the aliens. And that clashes horifically with the rest of the movie, where it's very toungue in cheek.

That's my main beef with the film though. It was fun to watch and quite well written... apart from one or two dodgy pieces of dialogue ("They've gone into the space between spaces"). I wasn't convinced by Harrison Ford's acting, but Shia la Beouf was actually quite good. And the very last scene was quite clever, and left me with a smile.

All in all, it's worth going to see, even if it's just to laugh at all the ridiculously impossible parts.

I thought it was terrible, and I won't be seeing it again. /spit

I just watched the trilogy today with 2 people who'd never seen it before, and I love Temple of Doom so many miles more than Crystal Skull it's hard to quantify into words. This film shouldn't have been made.

Meh it wasn't supposed to be good.

The whole point of the movie was to give Indy a son to continue the Franchise off of.

yeah, they could have made indy maybe... slightly less indestructible perhaps?

but it was entertaining, which I guess is the whole point of going to a movie, right?
