then do your research on "crystal skulls" and the myths that surround them. then you will understand where the movie's backing came from. no different than the previous movies that had their elements of fantasy (ark melting people, sankara stones turning hot as fuck over a chant, water from a cup healing deadly wounds)

thats cool. you are entitled to your own opinion. just wanted to make sure you knew that there was historical basis for the story and all. a lot of people think its all made up thus dont understand the movie at all.

I don't know about the stones that well but The Crystal Skulls were made post 1900. Its a hoax that was designed to help make money. They were put under the microscope and found to have marks consistant with modern cutting tools.

I'm not saying they are really alien skulls or anything. But there are myths that surround them, which is what the movie is based off of. and I'm not saying it was still the best story line to base an Indy movie off of, but at least it wasn't just completely made up out of nothing.

I'm fine with the story line. Somewhere in the last 20 years people have forgotten how much IJ was fantasy because we grew up loving it.

I was just pointing that in my opinion hoax and historical value is a sketchy line. I'm certainly not debating that there are myths abundant.

I agree with you, lebomb. That movie did suck. Check my review in the older Indy thread.

[lebomb]

I agree with you, lebomb. That movie did suck. Check my review in the older Indy thread.

"I believe all three were better than this one. I watched it again and I have a little better opinion about it. I was still beaten by the story but I guess I love the first 20 minutes so much, I don't care about the rest. When they go to South America, the movie goes south.

I predict this movie will make a TON of cash as peewee posted earlier. But I think they're setting this up for making laboof the new Indy and thats downright disappointing. I think Harrison Ford can give them one more since the original plan was for five anyway and then thats it. End this franchise on a high and please, Hollywood, don't ruin it with an extended laboof or any remakes."



Yep, I picked up on Laboof being the next Indy.

It seems to me people go in to these movies thinking its based on actual events. It's fantasy. Sorry I am just venting because of this guy next to me at the movie theater who couldn't stop commenting on how stupid he thought every single scene of the movie was. Sorry you thought you were going to see a movie that was a true documentary about a guy named Indiana Jones. Wait you didn't think that? Oh wait, you saw the others and knew it was not going to be based on actual fact and be realistic?

Spielberg and Lucas just lost their balls... actually... probably just Lucas has lost his balls...

They should have done it about a religious artifact... but Noooooooo... don't want to offend anyone...

Weren't all the other three based on 'religious artifacts'? So they wanted to try something different, in any case you don't get much bigger religious artifacts than the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail. What would you suggest?

Back to the most recent: not great, pretty poor in spots, still take it over the second one. Karen Allen was trying too hard throughout, so was Harrison Ford at first, Cate Blanchett was wasted. C-.

The movie sucked, period! and I'm a die hard fan of the previous three...

Its not about thinking that every single thing should be realistic, but at least have SOMETHING in there that is, for fucks sake! Its bad enough that they tried to have people believe a 70 year old man can still be Indian Jones, but did anyone really believe Indy would have crawled out of that fridge after the atomic explosion? at age 70? How about the whole Tarzan bit with Shia LaBeouf? I mean, come on!

I'm disappointed in Spielberg. In all honesty, I thought he spent the entire movie insulting people's intelligence. Don't get me wrong, I love Indy movies and all that entails, but have them be grounded on at least some veracity. I guess I never really bought the whole 70 year old Indy to begin with, so it was doomed at the start IMO.

On top of this, that LaBeouf kid gets on my nerves. Dude has only one way of delivering lines. No depth to his characters. By the way, pretty fucking lame how they hinted at him becoming the next Indiana Jones in the last scene of the movie. Let Indy rest in peace. This movie singlehandedly fucked up the saga, which shouldn't have become a saga to begin with.

Don't get me started on Karen Allen... she can't act worth shit. She couldn't do so in Raiders of the lost Ark and she sure as hell can't act now. It was downright painful watching her in this movie. The only reason you forgave her awful performance in Raiders is because she was easy on the eyes back then (at least to a point). Now, she's just old and with zero talent.

I give it a 4/10

I hate almost everything about it. The 4 out of 10 comes from nostalgia. John Williams score still kicks ass. Its so good it managed to breath life into scenes of this movie that would have been absolutely atrocious without it. Hell, you could put that score on a video of paint drying and it would make it exciting.

Harrison Ford still delivers a good performance, I thought. At parts, good enough to almost make you forget that this is a senile Indiana Jones you're watching do all this impossible shit.

Finally, I don't give a shit how you think I come off. Its what I think of the movie. If you liked the movie, good for you. I didn't.

The Tarzan scene and the sword fight on the two jeeps gave me douche chills and made it hard to sit there.

The end felt like the X-Files and all weird. I sincerely hope George "Franchise Ruining" Lucas doesn't have the idea to continue "Indiana Jones" with Shia LeBouf in the role and keep going. Ughh. :bang

[J.T.]

It should have been about a religious artifact? Did you even fucking see the first and the third films? What the fuck other religious artifacts are there to find other than the Spear of Destiny which was just done like 3 years ago in "Constantine"?

Yeah so maybe a huge South American temple turning into a UFO and teleporting to another dimension is kind of fantastical and won't ever happen anywhere other than in a movie. Clearly none of you mother fuckers watched the first three movies or else you'd know that in Indiana Jones films, crazy shit like magic religious artifacts mutilate and wipe out a Nazi platoon, crazy witchdoctors rip people's hearts right out of their chest with his bare hands, and the holy grail turns rich, greedy bastards into a skeleton in the blink of an eye and completely heals a gunshot wound just as fast.

This is Indiana Fucking Jones, and if you didn't expect some crazy fantastical shit to happen at the end of the movie, why'd you even buy a mother fucking ticket. For a $5.75 Sunday matinée that movie kicked ass. My advice is if you want to see something truthful or about real events, watch the fuckin' History Channel and stop going to the movies.

You had a problem with Indy surviving the blast on a fridge????

What about Indy going to a Nazi rally in Germany, of all places, and getting his dad's book of maps and notes signed by Adolf Hitler himself to get out of a jam??

What about Indy beating the shit out of a Nazi officer and throwing him out of the blimp only to to tell everyone on the Nazi owned blimp, "No Ticket!!", in English no less?

This is your problem:

You're letting your Christian feeling get hurt.

You love Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade because the artifacts in question are part of the Judeo-Christian lore. You can't stand that Indiana Jones isn't chasing an artifact that has to do with Jesus Christ or the ancient Hebrew nations.

That's your biggest problem.

As for the crystal skulls, there's a case to be made for them. I'm not saying that they are real, one way or another, but there's a case to be made.

It's not Lucas' or Speilberg's fault that you can't wrap your mind around it.

Karen Allen can't act, and she never could. The key word here is face time peewee. On the first movie, she was easy to look at. Now, she's got nothing.

and let me just :lmao @ you comparing the atomic blast fridge scene with the Hitler's autograph scene. The latter had no fucking purpose whatsoever except maybe to overkill the idea that Indy is fucking indestructible. The Hitler scene at least was humorous. I don't mind the science fiction aspect of the Indy movies, and my main beef with "The kingdom of the skulls" isn't the aliens.

Let me ask you something, when you saw the way the fridge flew and crash landed, bouncing several fucking times, did you not think to yourself "am I supposed to believe someone can survive that shit?" If you didn't, then I'd imagine you'd be alright with Spielberg trying to convince you that Indiana Jones could suddenly sprout wings and escape danger flying...

Indiana Jones was always meant to be just an ordinary man, with an extraordinary set of brass balls, a brilliant mind, and a shit load of luck. The luck aspect was always the comedic relief of the movie (ex. The Hitler autograph scene). Everything else served to help you identify with Indy. In this movie, the bullshit aspect got out of hand.

Seriously, if the Tarzan scene didn't make you uncomfortable in your seat, as if to say "what the fuck is this?" I don't know what to say to you.

In fact I've never really liked much of Spielberg's blockbuster shit that much. He's a much better director IMO when he's using subject matter that he's forced to take seriously. (See Amistad, Schindler, Munich, even Catch Me if You Can)

In fact I've never really liked much of Spielberg's blockbuster shit that much. He's a much better director IMO when he's using subject matter that he's forced to take seriously. (See Amistad, Schindler, Munich, even Catch Me if You Can)

Clearly you've never seen the director's cut of Saving Private Ryan where Captain Miller stops the tank on the bridge by plugging its barrel with his finger.

And the fridge scene was in the script two rewrites ago

[ATRAIN]

You had to stay in the temple and guard the grail to be immortal. that is what the knight calls "The price of immortality"

Damn I need to watch that again.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I thought the knight said that the line about the price of immortality after he told them they couldn't take the grail past the Great Seal, as in the "price of immortality" was undertaking the journey to get to the temple, although Trainwreck's explanation would make a lot more sense in general.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Hmmm, one theory on IMDB's little FAQ page is that you would need to continue to drink from the grail to prolong a live indefinitely, thus why the two brothers who left the grail behind died at some point while the third was still alive some 500 years later. So the "price of immortality" would be having to stay in the temple since the grail has to stay there. So Trainwreck's explanation is more or less correct.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Anyways, seriously? A fucking fridge?

When did peewee say this?

My bad. I haven't been sleeping well lately. The brain's a little fried. My apologies Trainwreck. I'll edit it now.

Did anyone else think Cate Blanchett was horrible? I thought she was Razzie bad in this. It was like she thought she was in a Rocky & Bullwinkle sequel.

You mistook me for peewee :depressed

[peewee's lovechild]

:lol Just shut the fuck up already! you're making an ass of yourself.

I'm letting my Christian feelings get hurt? :lol I'm the biggest fucking atheist that you'll ever find. I don't have ANY christian feelings to get hurt. Just because you can't fathom how someone can't like this movie, don't start making shit up.

Karen Allen can't act, and she never could. The key word here is face time peewee. On the first movie, she was easy to look at. Now, she's got nothing.

and let me just :lmao @ you comparing the atomic blast fridge scene with the Hitler's autograph scene. The latter had no fucking purpose whatsoever except maybe to overkill the idea that Indy is fucking indestructible. The Hitler scene at least was humorous. I don't mind the science fiction aspect of the Indy movies, and my main beef with "The kingdom of the skulls" isn't the aliens.

Let me ask you something, when you saw the way the fridge flew and crash landed, bouncing several fucking times, did you not think to yourself "am I supposed to believe someone can survive that shit?" If you didn't, then I'd imagine you'd be alright with Spielberg trying to convince you that Indiana Jones could suddenly sprout wings and escape danger flying...

Indiana Jones was always meant to be just an ordinary man, with an extraordinary set of brass balls, a brilliant mind, and a shit load of luck. The luck aspect was always the comedic relief of the movie (ex. The Hitler autograph scene). Everything else served to help you identify with Indy. In this movie, the bullshit aspect got out of hand.

Seriously, if the Tarzan scene didn't make you uncomfortable in your seat, as if to say "what the fuck is this?" I don't know what to say to you.

The fact that you believe any movie of this type is based on realism is absolutely laughable.

You brought up the luck factor, but it doesn't seem to matter to you in this new movie.

You say Karen Allen can't act and that she ruined this new movie. I counter with the fact that she has way more face time in ROTLA, and you say that she was at least good to look at. There is no logic there.

So, once again, maybe Lucas and Spielberg should issue out an apology for not going down the Judeo-Christian theme again.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

You mistook me for peewee :depressed

Like I said, fried brain. The last time I was talking any movie with anyone here was about the Hulk with peewee. Geez, I don't get this upset when my wife calls me "Manu" while we're having sex.

[peewee's lovechild]

It was either that or face the blast, for all we know he could still die from Radiation poisoning. Also the fucker drank from the Holy Grail......so he can't die. (Which of course doesn't explain why his dad died.)

Good point there, ATRAIN.

Since everyone loved that movie so much, it could serve to explain why he's still verile at that age.

[peewee's lovechild]

I learned the hard way too. If you disagree with Peewee about a movie, or more aptly put, if he disagrees with you- watch your back, because he doesn't mind acting like a totally fucked asshat about it.

Y'know what. Fuck you Peewee. You still don't get it. I had the gall to compare the camera work during the fight scenes in Batman to the fights in Bourne and you literally flipped the fuck out on me. And I wasn't even talking to you in the first place. Then I found several movie reviews that said the exact same thing I did, some from newspapers, one from Variety online, several from websites devoted to reviewing movies, some from -gasp- bloggers.

And it really doesn't matter if I was right or wrong (although I already proved (twice) that I was in fact right, while you, in fact, were wrong). Again, the issue isn't Batman, it's why you chose to be such a fucking cocksucker about Batman? And even though I've asked why several times now, you still don't have any answers about it besides resorting to calling me a douche. I think you're basically a conceited fucking faggot that doesn't have a leg or logic to stand on. You can suck a dick you fucking arrogant piece of shit.

Is that the kind of logic you're talking about?

no, the one where I explain to you that Karen Allen not being able to act is just one of the things that fucked up the new Indy movie, and that her not being able to act was not enough to fuck up Raiders BECAUSE she was at least good looking and ignorable. You not getting what I meant is the lack of logic I'm talking about.

as far as your retarded claim that the only reason I don't like the movie is because it had nothing to do with Judeo-christian themes, I've already explained to you how innacurate that is. The fact that you continue to be dense about the whole thing and ignore most of my previous posts and focus on what you want to focus leads me to believe you have a reading comprehension problem.

Jesus spoke and taught often about prophecies in the old testament. Jesus said "Moses wrote of me" in the book of John 5:46. Moses lived 1500 years prior to Christ.

Bottomline: Never cross Jesus.

I did not like the movie. If only they kept the aliens out of it it would have been better. I miss the Nazis.

Scary. But seriously the first three films seemed so much better in that era. The Soviets just don't have the same flair.

[MagnusKrauss]

i blame this movie on stupidity.

it was stupid to wait for too long to make this sequel. Constantine trumped the Spear of Destiny. it was also stupid to use too many writers. it was stupid to even make a movie out of those piece of shit scripts.

too late now.

after the first movie....hell. Indy was an Ark specialist, while Senior was a Grail Historian. 2 was out of place and 4 was an Alien movie. How do you justify Indy (being a religious artifact expert) to even be in a film featuring the Crystal Skulls? I half expected the Phantom to show up (Billy Zane in tights...ewwww)

I'd still have gone with the Spear of Destiny for the fourth movie, even if Constantine made it first. At least they would have gone more in-depth with the Spear's history and the stories surrounding the spear.

i'd rate the Indy movies this way:

1>3>2>4

[ballhog]

Ugh. Latest movie sucked. Aliens seem to ruin a movie for me. Especially the ones with the big head, little body and huge eyes. Reminds me of Sam Cassell.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I liked it. I hope Harrison Ford does at least 1 more of these. It's nostalgic...kind of like seeing Kiss dressed up in all their makeup despite them being a bunch of 60 year old men.
