Indiana Jones...

[PanzerJaeger]

..took the suck to a whole new level.

Its a real George Lucas special. If you thought the new Star Wars movies were everything you had hoped for and more, you'll love this ****!

Aliens, WT-!?!?!

Another childhood icon ruined.

[Csargo]

I expected as much.

[Geoffrey S]

I'll probably go to see it sometime, but my gut wishes they stuck to three.

[InsaneApache]

Damn, I was planning to see it this next Tuesday.

[Mikeus Caesar]

I just got back from seeing it. It was good for the first half, classic Indy. The second half just made me go LOL WUT and then curse George Lucas.

I'm sure i wasn't the only one thinking "please don't wear the hat, please please please" when Indy's hat blew towards Shia LaDouche at the end

[KukriKhan]

So I should wait a couple weeks 'til it goes to DVD & rent vs paying $12 for the big-screen?

Well Mikeus didn't seem to hate it as much as me.

Even if it hadn't gone all crazy at the end, the acting was horrible, the villains were comical, and the stunts far more outrageous than could even be possible - and looked way too CGI.

Just like the new Star Wars, it lacked a certain... something, that the previous ones had. Maybe it was Harrison just calling it in. Maybe it was the cheesy CGI. I dunno.

I do know that this pales in comparison to Raiders, on every level. I loved how they tied in the Nazis and pre-war Germany. It was full of historical nuance, and actually believable. On the other hand, the Soviets just feel like an after thought, and the costumes/vehicles were ridiculous. "Who can we get to be the bad guys." Also believable in Raiders were the stunts. While some of them were highly unlikely, they could have happened. The new ones just left me thinking, "how stupid".

Ok I don't want to give to much away...

[Husar]

I read almost exactly the opposite elsewhere.

[LittleGrizzly]

Im covering my ears and making loud noises!

Indiana is a classic from my childhood, amazing films and i hope the people here that criticised it are just crazy as im looking forward to an indy classic.

[Veho Nex]

too paranormal for me. I wish they stuck with Christian artifacts

[Mikeus Caesar]

Hahah, oh wow, are you serious?

The whole plot behind Indy 4 was too paranormal for you, yet a box full of ancient spirits and a cup that gives you eternal life isn't?

EDIT: Box full of ancient spirits THAT MELTS YOUR FACE. fix'd.

[InsaneApache]

Again?

[CountArach]

Again?

No, he is using it as a counterpoint for saying that they should stick with Christian artefacts. Not that I've seen 4, I could well be wrong.

[drone]

Technically, only the holy grail (3rd movie) had a Christian artifact. The Ark of the Covenant is Jewish, and the Sankara stones were Hindu.

Enough religion, back to your regularly scheduled Frontroom debate on Lucas' suckage.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I thought the debate on Lucas was closed; the debate is what he did to this film.

Anyways, I haven't seen it and I don't think I want to see it in theaters - doesn't sound anywhere as good as the classic trilogy.

CR

[Veho Nex]

Sorry I shouldn't have said christian i meant Religious.

[woad&fangs]

So, if I have to choose between Ironman or Indy 4, should I choose Ironman?

[PanzerJaeger]

YES! Iron man was unusually good, and I usually hate superhero movies.

[Geoffrey S]

Haven't seen Indy, but there's no reason not to see Iron Man. Favourite movie I've seen in a while, endlessly quotable.

As quoteable as 300?

[TinCow]

I walked out of the theater trying to convince myself that I didn't hate it, but I failed. I did hate it. The script was average, the acting was phoned-in, and the plot... oh my. The movie had no energy at all. The original movies had a spark that made them feel very improvised (and some parts actually were!). The dialog was natural and easy and the characters felt like real people. This movie had none of that. Almost every single line felt like it was being read dead-pan off of cue cards. Some of the 'stunts' were absolutely absurd. The Indy films were action oriented, but the danger situations were generally plausible (at least, the non-supernatural ones). Not so in Indy 4. The films forces you to suspend your disbelief almost immediately, because it blatantly makes all characters invincible. There is one particular scene early on where Indy pretty much shrugs off a... uh... large explosion... as if nothing had happened. Using such an event as a 'minor' danger that is tangential to the plotline is a travesty.

This is not the Indy I grew up with.

I'll wait till it's €3,25 at the corner shop, about 2010-ish I guess.

Ya the Nuke and the whole monkey attack scense kind of threw me off. Every single time he didn't get shot when there 30 AK-47's all trying to kill him didn't help either.

Yeah the whole nuke bit was a bit too much.

Well the nazis were quite bad shots but the bits in this film were awfully OTT

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I saw it, and I have to say, out of all the comments, this was the most accurate:

The only "realistic" scene at the end of the movie was where the KGB shot the natives with no loss of life...if the natives had held them off, I would not have been happy.

[Boyar Son]

OH HELL NO?!?!

that movie sucked omG why???? I hope thats just a crazy opinion and untrue

[FactionHeir]

I found it was at times too predictable and I had to yawn a few times, but there are worse.

Actually I saw Ironman too, and did not like it. All the humor was obviously fake.

Haven’t seen the fourth film but loved the previous trilogy, especially the last Crusade. To anyone who seen the fourth film, is it worth watching? I’ve red some negative comments in this thread.

It's worth it if you get someone else to pay.
