Your examples are terrestrial.

Aliens are not.

Spielberg just spent 3 hours admitting to us that he was a Scientologist.

post 11, your getting slow man.

As for my thoughts on the movie, it was ok, but not great. Wouldn't buy it though.

I loved the film. It was so nice to see some classicaly staged Spielberg adventure setpieces. No one films action the way he does and the jungle chase was my favorite setpiece from last year. The film felt in line with the others as far as I'm concerned. I'll never understand the complaints. All of the films are goofy fun.

I rank them as follows:

Raiders/Doom (Love both equally, can't choose.)
Crystal Skull
Last Crusade

Theres a lot of fun to be had with Indy 4 in my opinion (give it a few years and I think most will agree). Ohh, and there are no aliens in Indy 4 (as in extraterrestrial beings), but there are inter-dimensional beings.

Popular opinion is a powerfull thing and I think this movie was unfairly dismissed by a lot of bandwagon jumpers (relax, the movie is far from perfect, you don't have tell me why you hated it, I'm talking about all those other people

). In a couple of years half of those people will "rediscover " this movie and tell you how much fun it is.

I really like this movie and has only gotten better for me with repeated viewings on Blu-ray. I still grimace over the fridge and Tarzan scenes though.

Grimmacing like Indy did when he was on the rope-bridge in Temple of Doom is part of the style of Indy films -- so you are in fact participating in the campy style we all love so much!

Cool huh?

Gotta love Indy! I even like Lego Indy

I pretty much agree with this. I enjoyed the movie and don't get all the hate. These two scenes were a bit much, though. But I can stomach the fridge scene-- it was mainly the Tarzan thing that bugged me the most.

CHERRYGARCIA · 08-07-2009, 02:13 PM

I did enjoy the film, although its still the 4th best Indy film!

As opposed to what? Indy jumping off an airplane in a liferaft and surviving? Or Indy escaping a giant rolling rock? How about Indy talking to a thousand-year-old knight? Those scenes are exactly in the spirit of the other three films.

I really liked Indy 4. Maybe not as much as the other three, but still liked it. I have no problem with the Alien storyline. Indiana Jones has always been about what's going on in the world at the time it was set. In the 1950's there was a great histeria about an Alien invasion. Just look at all the Sci-Fi movies made in the 50's. Half of them was about Alien invasion. As far as the stunts go. We have always had to suspend disbelief when it came to Indy movies. Yeah, the coal mine chase scene in "The Temple of Doom" was really believable.
