Sean Connery gives brief review of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Blu-ray Forum

blu-mike · 04-02-2009, 06:57 AM

Sean Connery turned down the chance to reprise the role of Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because he was apparently enjoying retirement too much (even though it was only thought to be a cameo). Well MTV recently spoke to him and asked whether he had seen the film, and what his thoughts were.

“Did I see the latest? Yes, I did,” he said, adding, “I thought it was rather good.” But the screen legend did have one criticism of the film: “Rather long.”

Learn to respect your elders, especially if it's a screen legend like Connery.

Guys it's barely a shot at Connery, I don't know why you're getting so worked up over it. He's retired anyways, not that big of a deal.

Yeah!

Otherwise he will smack you around like one of his women. Show some respect!

Never attack a man's bladder like that.

JamesKurtovich · 04-02-2009, 08:27 PM

The film did seem pretty long.. or maybe it just felt that way.

Beast · 04-02-2009, 08:32 PM

so THAT's what that was

anyways, interesting to hear that connery enjoyed the film. i'm sure he liked the nod to his character. not a huge fan of the movie, but that was a great scene imo.

When I was in highschool, I had a friend who couldn't sit through a movie without getting up and going to the restroom at least once.

Penitus · 04-03-2009, 02:08 AM

I wonder if he's just being kind or not. I was never clear on so much hate for this flick. Yes, it is BY FAR the worst Indiana Jones movie, and at the same time it is better than tons of awful movies out there.

DAROCKNESSMONSTER · 04-03-2009, 02:20 AM

what a great review.

I think he just didn't want to sound rude.

Lord_Stewie · 04-03-2009, 02:20 AM

the ending ruined the entire movie for me. ALIENS........i thought the producers could have came up with something better than that for an indiana jones movie.

Has the movie been out long enough so that spoiler tags aren't needed? In The Crying Game, she's a man!

THAT would have been a much better ending for Indy 4.
