Might want to use some eyes there pal. I noted the score, but that it means jack and squat.

Since reviews arn't proof of anything. The same thing I note in the other thread. And always note.

So you might want to pay attention to the whole quote when you troll. Wait, no... then you couldn't troll.

sooooo why bring them up in the first place? Illogical Beast is illogical.:confused:

Agreed. It at least has a certain amount of emotional weight to it, and several iconic moments. Indy IV...there was just no point.

He's not illogical. He's out of his freaking mind. :D

Absolutely agreed. Indy is more than watchable...it's FUN. Aside from the ending (which I, personally, thought was crap), I enjoyed it.

The prequels have NOT aged well. I can't even bear to watch them. They're absolute crap.

We know. We saw it the first thousand times you posted it. :deadhorse:

Shouldn't you and Beast be busy braiding each others hair and painting each others nails? :D:D:D

Yep. Despite its many Lucas post Jar Jar flaws, Skull at least still has that Indi vibe that you can feel from the other films, thanks mainly to Harrison and Spielberg's influence. I never got anything other than tiny glimpses of the SW vibe in the prequels--they never felt like they belonged (which is why they are so easy to forget about whenever I get the chance to watch the UOT through the laserdisk ports on DVD).

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a weak but acceptable entry into the Indiana Jones franchise. Let's hope they don't make any more.

Not likely they would'nt.

True. It took over a decade of badgering Spielberg to finally get him to cave in. I think he's learned his lesson when it comes to collaborating with today's George Lucas: Don't.

On a funny side note, when I heard about Red Tails, I got somewhat excited (I love WWII areal stuff), so I hunted down a trailer. But then I saw the Lucasfilm logo and I thought, oh crap, this is a lost cause.

A little more research showed me that he's only producing. No story credit and no directing (thank god).

The villian. If you have someone like Cate Blanchett, you can do so much more. And we could argue she's better than Donovan or Mola Rama, but for me, it just didn't work. Too one dimensional.

Indy in the army. Couldn't deal with that.

The reuniting scene. Seemed forced and the acting/dialog were really bad. For a scene like that, I expected a better payoff.

We could go on for days about the monkey scene. No one likes that, so there's no point.

Now there are things I liked about it. I liked the 50's aspect. The diner scene is something I thought was really clever, but it's just surrounded by a movie that felt forced to me. And this is just my opinion. RT and IMDB ratings are what they are. Ratings on a website.

I liked that part. Reminded me of how Wolverine was in WWII as well. But again, I've always viewed Indi as a comic book hero.

:deadhorse:

I really can't see why you still argue whether Indy IV is as good as the previous sequels, when it's clearly in the same league, but with different elements. It has many 'I can't believe he came out alive from...' elements than the first three, the difference is that now it's mostly done with CG, and I think that's why some of you have problems with it. ;)

I agree, Episode III is actually a good movie that if watched without the previous 2 movies shows Anakins downfall pretty well. It is also interesting to note that most of the plot inconsistencies between the trilogies are gone if you only watch RotS.

And that's what made it so sad. There was a glimpse; exactly one glimpse, for about six seconds. Towards the end of Phantom Menace, when little Jake Lloyd is in the mothership and blows it up from the inside. As he's flying out, the music gets all JohnWilliamsy and the camera shot is great and for the the briefest of moments it feels like I'm watching Star Wars.

And that to me makes it even sadder. That we get just a tiny peek at Star Wars, as if to taunt us.

Ugg, lets stop the SW prequel talk in here, its making me get a bad taste in my mouth about Indy. :sick:

This, it does not make any sense when people say the" prequels sucks", I certainly underdstand that with the first two. TPM was just plain terrible, but Episode III is much better than Indy IV and ROTJ combined.

Who is going to be taken seriously?

Person 1 - "Enough of the SW prequel bashing in a IJ thread"

Person 2 - "The prequels suck! They're unwatchable! Look at me! I hate Lucas so much I have to have an avatar of him frozen in carbonite!"

You be trippin'. RotJ is three times the film KotCS is, and KotCS is double the movie RotS ever was.

But it's all relative, as such musings are merely our opinions, and count for nothing beyond our own selves. ;)

Not me. My avatar is Atkins pointing a 12-gague at Flannel Boy (you just can't see him 'cause he's outta frame). :D
