QUOTE (impala454 @ May 28 2008, 10:51 AM)  he did those things in episode 1 and apparently now in indy, because he wanted/wants the movie to appeal to the youngest crowds. That part (even though we all hated it) was successful with all the 5 year olds laughing at jar jar and thinking he was funny. for the most part it was absent from episodes 2 & 3. it was all marketing IMHO. To get a new generation to like Star Wars. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

in short, i thought it was decent... not the best indy movie by far though
the stuff that ruined it for me was lucas trying to do the same exact sequence of scenes from the other movies... indy's son named mutt (after a dog like indy), motorcycle chase (like the other movies), monkeys (like the other movies)... i mean jesus christ, can't they come up with something original instead of trying to rip off the success of the old films? |

The action was great and all... (albeit corny)... but the overall plot was such a POS. Seriously... aliens? Fuck that shit.

Personally i liked it. It was better than temple of pune and not better than other two. Of course it was over the top stuff "that no way he could survive from", have you not seen the other movies? My only problems with it was the shitty bad guy (russian chick with no personality), and the plot was a little too lucas for me. But after thinking about it i didn't care. The other movies were based on a certain groups religion and showed them coming to life, this was just the "aliens built the pyramids" type of thing.
Was it the best, of course not, but i found it a lot of fun to watch. I don't need what is supposed to be an action film to be completely realistic... especially considering the genre (and other movies) that inspired this one. Killing planes with birds, surviviing the cliff tank fall, getting from submarine to nazi water bunker, landing the plane just fine after having rutter shot off (with no run way), taking out tank guns with rocks, surviving a giant propeller from chopping up Indiana (why was the prop that far out of water?), going over a waterfall in a dingy.... the list goes on from the other movies, but i still love them. -------------------- |

I HATE alien movies.
Mission to Mars was just as disappointing. It started out strong and then turned alien. It was gayer than gay |

The thing with the other Indiana Jones movies is that the action was indeed ridiculous but it fit with the plot and characters. It wasn't over the top like it was in this movie....I mean nuclear explosion?!! You're fucking kidding me. There was no reason for that to be in that movie only for the fact that Indiana was in Nevada.
My guess is that Lucas was trying to remind us that Indiana was in the 50's but we figured that out when at the beginning it said...1957 -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."
