Indy V Plot "Cracked" - Blu-ray Forum

cajmoyper · 06-16-2009, 08:14 PM

I'm not all that certain what "cracked" means but as the only person in the world

who more than enjoyed KotCS, I can say I'm excited to see this new one. But what I'm confused over is that everybody says that Spielberg's heart "wasn't in it". So why do another one? Idk, I just like big expolsions and non-sensical action accompanied by barely any story.

Here's hoping they get a decent script this time.

tbizzle · 06-16-2009, 08:47 PM

I really hope they revert back to the original style of the first 3, more-so the 1st and 3rd, but you get what I mean. Hope the next one is awesome!!

I also liked the Crystal Skull and just watched it again today. Being a Harley Davidson fan, it did urk me to see that Mutt's motorcycle had a twin cam motor in it, which wasn't available until 1999! Being the era of the movie was 1957, it should have had a panhead (48-65) or a knucklehead (36-47) motor in it. I'm just sayin.
Bring on Indy V!

There's nothing to revert to. Temple of Doom is really the only one that doesn't fit the mold.

Sure there is. People loved the first one, the second was well...yeah, and then they loved the third one. There was a certain way the films were done, and people loved it. Then the new one came out and went on a GIANT tangent, and completely derailed from how the first 3 were. Just want to see a similar movie with this next one, hope it's great

i really feel that Kingdom followed the same pattern as 1-3, really don't understand when people say it derailed from the originals.

i enjoyed Kingdom and hope a 5th is made!!!

Incorrect. It fits the same pattern as 1-3.

Fun popcorn films that bring back the over the top feel of movie serials.

Indy IV is as good as the original. In every way, shape, and form.

Same here as well, I was not disapointed by Indy 4 and I will hope they do make another one.

Just got the same feeling from Indiana Jones 4 that I did from Star Trek 2009 that's all. Solid movies but nothing like their predecessors.

JamesKurtovich · 06-16-2009, 09:08 PM

I haven't seen Indy 4, but I LOVED the 1st one..

The only bad thing I foresee about how I will feel about the 4th is Shia LeBouf. I'm not his biggest fan.

I don't know where they'd go for Indy 5. I personally would rather see a film adaption of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune as the plots are usually similar. Let's get something fresh.

That's cool, I respect your guys opinions. But there are a lot of people on this site that will disagree with you on how good the new one is. It left a lot of people VERY disappointed, so just that fact right there leads me to believe they dropped the ball.

I personally didn't like it all that much. It's still a watchable movie, but when I first saw the trailer, I was thinking WOW, can't wait to get this on blu. After I walked out of the theater, along with a ton of other people, I was disappointed. "I'm just hoping the new one will be better", I guess I'll put it like that

Remember the old saying. Those that complain always have the loudest voices.

It's just another case of a movie sequel being made to a film series people saw and loved as kids, after they've grown up and turned into jaded nitpicky adults. The original films are hardly high art.

JamesKurtovich · 06-16-2009, 09:10 PM

What's better, Phantom Menace or Crystal Skull?

Just wonderin'.

Deadset · 06-16-2009, 09:11 PM

Indy IV has it's place...........behind part 1.

Aren't opinions grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

Phantom Menace - 8.5/10
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 3.5/10
