That wasn't Indiana Jones 4... it was Cocoon 3... Old people and Aliens... has to be a Cocoon movie...
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 do entary 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...
Go big or go home...
If there were aliens running around buying tickets... they wouldnt have done it on aliens either...
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-.
You're an idiot.
I'm an idiot?
Oh yeah.. forgot... this is San Antonio... there are Aliens running around buying tickets.
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 s 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 ing 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 ed 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 . She couldn't do so in Raiders of the lost Ark and she sure as 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
Dude, you absolutely rip into the movie. You hate everything about it. And then you still give it a 4 out of 10. Where did the 4 come from if the whole movie sucked according to you.
You come off as a whiny pussy in your review.
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. , 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 .
Finally, I don't give a how you think I come off. Its what I think of the movie. If you liked the movie, good for you. I didn't.
It sucked balls. The Tarzan scene was the worst thing I've ever seen in a ing movie.
I love it. I fell vendicated!
The Tarzan scene and the sword fight on the two jeeps gave me 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.
It should have been about a religious artifact? Did you even ing see the first and the third films? What the 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 ers watched the first three movies or else you'd know that in Indiana Jones films, crazy 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 bas s into a skeleton in the blink of an eye and completely heals a gunshot wound just as fast.
This is Indiana ing Jones, and if you didn't expect some crazy fantastical to happen at the end of the movie, why'd you even buy a mother ing 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 in' History Channel and stop going to the movies.

It sucked balls. I don't even care about how unbelievable it was because it is a movie. It was just ridiculous and not entertaining at all.
all i know is that this was the first Indy movie i fell asleep on..... TWICE.
Temple of Doom is still the worst movie of the series but Crystal Skull gives it a run for it's money.
Not to be knit picky but the rich greedy guy got turned to a skeleton because he drank from a cup that wasn't the grail. And the real grail heals Sr.
You say that you're a fan of the previous three, but then say that Karen Allen can't act worth . So, how can you possibly like the first, Raiders of the Lost Ark, if she has waaaaaaaaay more face time in that movie.
Your logic makes no sense whatsoever.
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 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.
I believe he's referring to the "fantastical" nature of the guy dissolving right before our eyes in one instance and someone getting healed from a mortal wound the other.
Spell the word right and you might be on to something there.
But, you changed your opinion of the movie, so you're not VINDICATED at all.
Or, are you changing it back because a few people here are saying that it wasn't good?
Saw the movie last week. Didn't expect much going into it but was entertained. Would I give it best picture? Of course not!! I think most of you are being to critical on it. Either way it was better than the Mist since that thread won't die!!
Hahaha, The Mist was pretty damn good.
But, Indy was pretty good and most people just want to on it because there wasn't anything related to the bible on this one. That's why these same people also don't like Temple Of Doom.
They did show the Ark for a brief moment what more do these religious enthusiasts want? Im suprised Manny didnt like the Tarzan scene.
My wife LOVES Indiana Jones and the series.....but, she HATED this movie as well. After it was over, she was like......
