I've seen Iron Man twice. I'll wait for Indiana Jones to come out on DVD.
Recession?
What recession?
It was a good popcorn movie. I don’t feel it had the “pop” as the other films and never found it’s groove.
“’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!”
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.
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.
Nope. Two tickets for Narnia. (My son talked me into it.) Very enjoyable movie.
Indy should be around for a while. I hope Speed Racer lasts another week so i can see that one, too.
The movie that it will push off the list?
Raiders of the Lost Ark
(which, by the way, is the only Indy film in the Top 50)
Am I correct in stating that Indy did not touch his revolver EVEN ONE TIME in this movie? It wasn’t even SEEN one time. And also, IIRC, the hero (Ryan?) in the drug movie (C and P Danger?) also did not lay his hands on a firearm even one time. Spielberg showing his stripes.
The ex and I took our son to see it yesterday, not because we particularly wanted to see it but because we were trying to keep him away from an invitation from someone undesirable. We did not expect to enjoy it, but we really did. I like movies in which things blow up and there’s a lot of derring-do.
Harrison Ford shows that 67 doesn’t have to be old, by any means. He’s looking pretty good and he’s still got that Han Solo humor.
I thought the set decoration and small details that evoke atmosphere were better than in previous movies (which I watched with my son recently to give him some background on the series). We were not bored at all, at any point in the movie. Silly? Sure, but so what.
I did kind of want Shia LeBoeuf to take his knife and just rip Cate Blanchett’s guts, though. That might not have been wholesome family entertainment, however.
So amusing that George Noury had some guy on last week who swore that all this Crystal Skull business is true and that George Lucas had really done all kinds of careful research on what the Aliens from another dimension had taught the Mayans.
I have heard that, in order to break even, the film will have to gross 800-million-dollars.
That’s a lot of casharola...for a movie.
Going tonight.
Reduced expectations though.
No way it can measure up to the old days.
But not expecting a Phantom Menace either.
It was a truly lousy movie that appeared to be made for just one thing.that's to fleece the dollars from the pockets of loyal Indiana Jones movie viewers.
The script,and quality control were crap.There was also too much computer animation and it appeared they are trying to give the viewers their action fix by overloading the movie with action all of the time.
It appears that all of the movies are doing the same thing putting in action scenes that really make NO sense to the plot of the movie.
Oh!I forgot the movies plot was a stinker to.There was none.
I wonder when the liberals are going to start whining about profiteering by Hollywood studios and actors?
"Indiana Jones is not the worst one made but the one about the Ark and the one about the Grail are better.
I have not yet gotten up enough nerve to sit through "Speed Racer".
My favorite line in the movie. Before he was supposed to be killed, Cate Blanchett’s Soviet character asked Dr. Jones, “Any last words, Dr. JOnes?” Dr. Jones says, “Yeah. I like Ike.” That cracked me up. Of course, he found his way out of death.
