Originally Posted By hammertime I saw it last night. I love going to movies that have midnight openings. The crowd is almost as entertaining as the movie. I thought it was a fun movie just like all the other Indiana films. Most of the secrets of the film weren't really secrets. You kind of new it before they were revealed. What else do you want to know?

Originally Posted By Ursula Uhm, thrilled to have seen it ejoyed the ride, wished Shia La Buffey could have been better. (I'm not a fan in the first place). Didn't care for the snake placement. At all. George of the Jungle, feh, ow, really? Did we REALLY have to go there? But overall, I enjoyed the ride. And it sounded great! Let's hear it for the ADR people!!! WHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Originally Posted By Ursula And okay, with Marion...why, why why, why did they just show her emerging from behind a curtain or a tent? Wouldn't it make sense to show her at the bad guy's camp DRINKING THE RUSSIANS UNDER THE TABLE!?!?!?! HELLO, did Lucas and Spielberg not even re-watch the first one in the last 19 years?

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I agree with you Ursula. I thought that the clunkiest part of the whole movie was the re-introduction of Marion and Indy. It seemed like Ford and Allen didn't have much chemistry. And the quick sand sequence seemed very tacked on. And not for a minute did Indy or Marion think they weren't going to get out of that alive. It was like a sketch on the old Ed Sullivan Show or something. But, that's a minor thing for me. I'm a big fan of the franchise, and really enjoyed this movie.

And, I agree on the missing chemistry - seemed very forced.

Corny - so Indy was named after HIS dog - but Mutt? jeez. Let's talk about this crystal skull thing. Wouldn't this have been much more adventurous if the skull had been some sort of artifact from ancient times instead of some detached, alien type mind altering wonder of another world? Ugh. And, am I crazy? or did this movie pretty much mimmick all of the scenery / stunts from National Treasure 2? I could have sworn some of the props were the same. I thought Karen Black looked great for her age, and Mr. Ford did hold his own - it's just a shame that it was so obvious that most of the stunts were done by doubles. They could have camoflauged that a little better. And don't get me started on those stupid ants....

Originally Posted By Rebekah I rarely go to the movies -- they're just too intense and real. I like to go to the movies as an escape -- fun, relaxing, take my mind off the real world. Indy 4 did just that -- it let me simply let go and enjoy the ride. And made me miss my annual trek to the Hollywood Bowl to enjoy the music of John Williams. I suspect I'll be purchasing this soundtrack. Rebekah.
Originally Posted By Rebekah Oh and Jim, I enjoyed your review. I have only seen Raiders and loved it. Still have the comic book adaptations I'd purchased when it came out. But Doobie didn't see that film and isn't an Indy buff so I totally relate to the laughing at nods that others didn't. Rebekah.
Originally Posted By sherrytodd As thoroughly disappointed as I was with what happened with the Star Wars prequils, I was worried, but I really loved the movie. I think they stuck to the Indy theme. I think many of the sets looked like National Treasure because they were both trying to replicate the same type of civilization. They both did use a tilting floor and I did notice that. We were excited to see the ants at first since they looked exactly like the bullit ants we saw in the Amazon and they really are nasty little buggers and just about that size. But that was pretty much where the reality ended. But of course the Indy universe has had very little to do with reality and once accepting this, I thought the ants were pretty cool, especially when they dragged the guy into their anthole.
