It's fascinates me how each of us can perceive exactly the same thing completely differently.

Shia was the only new element that I enjoyed in the film. I thought he did really well with what he was given.

I thought KOTCS was a fun popcorn movie, and I'll enjoy having it in the box set.

I agree. I thought Shia was pretty good in this role.

The only bad things about KOTCS was the CGI and the confusing (and very unnecessary) double triple secret agent crap. The CGI in the last 40 minutes or so really hurt the movie for me, took me right out of it. To my eye, the visuals did not work/didn't LOOK like previous Indiana Jones movies. I guess the same can be said for the SW series. But I would have liked to see a bit more flesh and blood instead of obvious CGI. However, I am not going to complain about owning KOTCS at all. Its a fine movie, just loses the 'Indy' feel in its second half.

On a different, but related note...

I've heard Paramount will be releasing Raiders of the Lost Ark to a limited number of theater locations across the U.S. sometime in mid September to coincide with the BD release. I don't know if this is true or not, but please post any information you may run across as I would love to see this at the big screen. I know it's been playing in very select areas up until now, but I'm hoping to get an opportunity to see it in southeast Michigan.

My main complaint about KOTCS is the MacGuffin was the movie, it led it from start to finish with very little in-between. The other three movies the MacGuffin was used properly and more in the traditional Hitchcock sense.


But and I didn't know this George Lucas as an almost opposite idea on the use of the MacGuffin!

Quote:
On the commentary soundtrack to the 2004 DVD release of Star Wars, writer and director George Lucas describes R2-D2 as "the main driving force of the movie ... what you say in the movie business is the MacGuffin ... the object of everybody's search".

In TV interviews, Hitchcock defined a MacGuffin as the object around which the plot revolves, but, as to what that object specifically is, he declared, "the audience don't care". Lucas, on the other hand, believes that the MacGuffin should be powerful and that "the audience should care about it almost as much as the duelling heroes and villains on-screen"
I don't think we cared about the Indy MacGuffin's and I think Lucas has got it his ideas slightly askew!

You would really like The Phantom Edit. Google it.

Lucas always did better when he let someone else write the screenplay from his story.

There was still quite a bit of modelwork in there. Read the Cinefex article and you'll see a lot of the complaints against the "CG" are not accurate.

Thank you. Not to mention, some of the "shoddy" work was deliberate to mimic the sci-fi films of the '50's.

Which I find to be a cop out excuse, since the previous 3 films didn't "mimic" the films of the 1930s in any way, shape or form, especially with raiders winning best Visual FX and Art Direction. By this "excuse", they should've looked even shoddier than KOTCS.

Why do people think it's a good thing to pay homage to 1950's sci-fi flicks? For the most part those movies were all terrible with a few exceptions.

The best idea George had in the last 20 years was to retire.

I found the VFX of Last Crusade to be surprisingly poor, considering there were so few VFX shots compared to the last 2 films. Much much worse than anything in KOTCS.
