Shia LaBeouf, left, Harrison Ford and Karen Allen...
I've seen Iron Man twice. I'll wait for Indiana Jones to come out on DVD.
Recession?
What recession?
Have you noticed how crowded the restaurants are too?
It was a good popcorn movie. I don’t feel it had the “pop” as the other films and never found it’s groove.
I think it’ll be more rewatchable though. It wasn’t bad. It had some boring parts and issues that a lot of fans are wailing over. Overall though, I liked it a bit more than Iron Man. At least Crystal Skull wasn’t super predictable.
I saw it too, and I liked 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' the best.
“’Indiana Jones’ Earns $311 Million Worldwide”
Russian communists deeply saddened.
We’ll try to go see it next weekend. We tried this weekend and it was sold out so we went to Narnia instead.
Mrs. Cuz and I saw this on Saturday and I’d have to agree with the Mrs. “For being a 70 year old actor, Harrison Ford’s still GOT IT!”
One of the things I enjoyed about “Last Crusade” was the way the theme of Indy’s relationship with his father tied in with the quest for the Holy Grail. I missed that level of connection in this one, and it could have been handled easily at the beginning with just a few lines.
I also thought plot was a little convoluted. They were twisting it all over the place to get to the payoff, which, again, had little to do thematically with the characters. It could just as easily have been Scully and Mulder chasing around, instead of Indy and Marian.
Cate Blanchett playing the Russian bad girl...
We saw 'Indy' at one of those locally-owned historic theaters that was never torn down and is huge. They don't sell tickets in advance, and you can always get in.
I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan, but I missed the film this weekend. I hope to see it this coming weekend - hopefully the crowds will be smaller.
I went to see 21 this weekend!!! Outstanding! Sorry you got stuck seeing a stinker. Next time see 21. It was so much fun and a great flick.
We happened to be out for the day with time to kill, and made it the first movie we have seen in a theater in 10 years.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, even if it might rank 3rd of the 4. There was plenty of suspension of disbelief as you accepted our hero’s survival through multiple cliff falls, and even a nuclear blast. (And no, those aren’t spoilers)
The oddly political aspect was that it mocked the anti-communist fears of the 50s, while thoroughly demonizing the Soviets.
