Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull

Post by tr1p1ea »

Just saw it, wondering if anyone else has?

In my opinion its a film worth watching though for most people it probably wont be as awesome as the classics.

Harrison is still kicking on though, he can still play the part :).

I'll probably see it when it comes out on DVD, i'm too cheap to go to the theatre to watch it only once for an inflated price of just renting it :P.

Me too, the large number of smelly noisy people that is usually present in a theatre is the biggest reason for me to avoid it

I went last night (midnight) and the theater was almost empty, so I enjoyed it greatly.

I saw it today, but it wasn't very crowded at all. It still felt fresh and interesting, but some parts were too weird or just plain unnecessary.

But you can afford to download one!

I didn't really like it. I hate to say that, I really do, and it was pretty entertaining, but I think it fell apart by the end.

Yeah it was more like a string of action sequences stuck together with a similar theme, many unecessary Too many new locations/random bad guys ... kind of like how Lucas destroyed Star Wars but no way near as bad since the movie was still entertaining.

It was enjoyable, but I felt it lacked the sense of humour in the action sequences of the originals, and I didn't really feel that Indiana Jones got to do much working out of puzzles -- just repeating the steps of men who'd gone before him.

I'm glad he took back his hat in the last scene, though, and liked the reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark. :)

I agree. It seemed that the humour in the older films was more sofisticated/clever ... you can tell they wanted to replicate that but it just felt forced.

When he took his hat back, that was cool :).

The Russians seemed like they were thrown in just to be the "bad guys". They could have been grave robbers instead and the plot wouldn't have changed much.

I didn't like it all that much, though I did sleep through most of it :/.

I also thought the refigerator part was stupid.
