A story about this — 1 year ago
gak! what a bucket of horse piss. it must be the even numbered ones…
ok, first: why? why in the hell make a sequel after almost 20 years that no one is expecting you to make? no one was sitting around twiddling their thumbs saying, “Geez, when is that next Indiana Jones movie comin out?” No, the last one was called the last crusade. pretty cut and dry.
so youd think that it must be because they have a terrific way to tie up all the loose ends of the character. No. No they do not.
and yes, what IS Speilberg’s deal with aliens? it just seemed..silly.
it started off bad, dialogue not good at all, clunky. i kept waiting for it to pick up. and it did. for a bit. and then that scene dragged on and on and on and just became more and more improbable. then it didnt let up. it just became stupider and stupider.
i think the base story was good, just poorly executed. and why in the hell bring back the girl from the first movie? and what is the fucking deal with shia lebeouf? GAAKKASKKSKAKAKKAAKKAKAKAKAKAKAKKAKAKIIII
i really wanted this movie to be good. i really really did. i had a little itch at the back of my mind that it was going to suck, but i ignored it. but it was right.
this.
movie.
is.
crap.
you know though, its not that its that bad. its just that theres no point. they went out on a high note to end the franchise, and theres nothing in this movie worthy of bringing it back. thats the bottom line.

Ignore last - movie is excellent
Yeah…. no. He’s wrong.
This movie was good. I went out of my way to not see the previews, reviews and promos, so went in only knowing Cate Blanchett was in it, and it involved Soviets. So I didn’t see anything coming – and what presented itself on the screen was a delight.
Its action – it doesn’t have to be realistic of course, but the story holds together well enough and the long action scenes rock.
Some more booby traps and this would have been right up there with raiders or last crusade.

same thing
i went in seeing only one preview, which actually excited me. i knew nothing of the storyline, didnt even know cate blanchett was in it.
if you go into this movie with absolutely no expectation, then yes, its a silly little movie,
entertaining but quite forgettable.
but you cant go into this movie with no expectations. it is the the fourth installment to one of the most successful movie franchises in history. its like going into the godfather 4. the same hooplah that surrounded episode 1. they should have expected everyone’s standards to be high, and rightfully so.
everything they did in this movie theyd already done better in previous installments, bar the overbearing special effect sequences. again, just an unnecessary movie to make.

Why make it?
Why is John Cusack starring in a movie where his love interest is Hillary Duff? Why is Edward Norton playing the Hulk?
Money. As far as I’m concerned, it’s mostly about making money.
