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

    Damn, I was planning to see it this next Tuesday.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    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.

    So I should wait a couple weeks 'til it goes to DVD & rent vs paying $12 for the big-screen?
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    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...

    I read almost exactly the opposite elsewhere.

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

    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.

    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.
