New Indiana Jones

Super disappointing. I may go watch Raiders to get the taste out of my mouth.

Wasn't the "worst movie ever," just an average movie.
 
P.S. CGI, if not used sparingly, is making everything look fake and cartoony and weird. I'd rather have corny stop animation and real sets with real props and scenery. All those snakes in Raiders? Real snakes and props! Imagine! Rubber snakes looked 10x more believable than the fake computer ants in the last one.
 
I went in expecting the worst.... I have to say I wasn't all that disappointed. Sure a lot of the scenes had me rolling my eyes in disbelief but I was still entertained.
 
Not great, but I still thought it was a fun popcorn movie. Even some of the sillier plot elements couldn't take away the thrill of seeing Indy and hearing the score on the big screen again.
 
Okay in spots, horrible in others. A decent plot would have been nice, considering they had 20 years to work on it (sound familiar? **** off Lucas). Definitely fourth out of the four.
 
Ok...I'll be the decenter. Went and saw it with the wife yesterday and I thought it was the perfect indy move. I'd venture to say it was awesome. Maybe I'm just easily entertained, but I felt like a kid again and I loved the sci fi angle. Go back and watch it like you're a 12 year old boy and not a movie critic and it is really hard not to enjoy.
 
first time i saw it, i thought it was pretty good but not great. i took my kids to see it on saturday and i loved it. it is a fun, fun movie. my kids loved it too! we all agreed it was the second best behind ROTLA. it gets high marks in my household. it is a fun movie that was fun to watch. to see the smile on my kids faces when the Indy them music comes on...to watch them amazed by how Indy escaped certain situations was great for me and them!

we came back home and watched ROTLA and realized the new film fits in with the old ones perfectly!
 
Apparently everyone thought it sucked, it only did $151 million in the US and $311 million worldwide.
 
It could have been two hours of Indiana Jones moving into Del Bocca Vista in Florida and it would have still made a shitload of money.
 
I watched it with a few friends at the Alamo. I had the Nacho Libre Nachos and some fries. We laughed, we rolled our eyes at parts and predicted what would happen. It was what I expected, entertainment. But I got to eat and hang out with friends in the wonderful Alamo experience. I have seen worse.

I was not expecting much and got just what I expected. I don't hate the movie but I doubt I will watch it again for some time. The list of movies I will see in a regular theater now that I am getting a HD tv in the future gets smaller and smaller.

I watch a large percentage of my theater movies at the Alamo(s).
 
I'd be shocked if I saw a movie that was worse than this all year long. It is an absolute atrocity, this movie.

So much terrible **** in this movie I don't know where to begin.
 
It doesn't take any more effort to hate a movie than it does to love one.

I don't understand why people who love a movie begin to feel insecure if other people don't. If they want the company of other adorers, they should stay away from boards like this one that value discussion and disagreement.

There is something oddly egotistical about a person who cannot accept that his/her taste is not the widely accepted standard.
 
I think it is also fair to note that people are more likely to express a negative view of something over a positive one.
 
I agree, eflow. I think it's a function of expectation. Many people on this thread are getting far less than they expected.

I haven't seen the movie and probably won't bother to.
 
I went into this movie wanting to like it. Wanting to love it. It just was a bad movie.

SPOILERS






Ok first of all, he survived a nuclear bomb 100 yards from him. Then they survived going down THREE waterfalls that were all at least 100 ft tall. Then there were aliens that just came and disappeared. The whole monkeys attacking the Russians?!?! I know the other movies were unbelievable (the whole heart thing, and the whole living forever thing) but this had too much.




End spoilers.


I take that back, it wasn't a bad movie. It was an average movie. It was definitely 4/4 of the movies though.
 
OK, I just saw this piece of crap. I had low expectations too. It's so hokey and it just dragged along. Overall, the worst of the series easily. Rent it don't waste the time going to the theater.
 
What was up with the zombie acrobats at the cemetery? Why were they there, except to beat us over the head with how much of an adventure everything was in this stupid movie?

The natives towards the end of the movie... WTF? There was too much crammed into this movie. It was so over the top that the story and flow felt like sandpaper on your eyeball.

I hate that Transformers kid too.
 
saw it last night. i enjoyed the journey to their final destination, despite a ton of "yeah, right" moments along the way, but once in the temple, this movie lost me big time.
 
There was just no real ending to this. Yeah, they're aliens. We get it. In fact we got it the second we saw that elongated skull about a third of the way into the movie. Then they show up, return the skull, and the aliens take off. The end. Worst payoff ever.
 
It wasn't helped by just how bad the prop of "the skull" was. It looked like plastic case around tin foil... which is strange, because I believe it was made of plastic and tin foil.
