Thanks for that!
I thought it was OK--but I did not like the kid who played Indiana Jones' son at all. I thought he was just---dull. I hope they are not considering him to follow in his father's footsteps.
OH no you did not just diss my bf Shia. It is on.
My problem was that many of the scenes in the film felt like one off shots that had nothing to do with the film.
As for the whole insane guy figuring out everything they needed to know off screen. Lame, at least in the other films they had to figure stuff out for themselves.
Also, what was the point of teh skulls exactly? How would they be an ultimate weapon? Where they planning on forcing every person in the Western world to stare at the skull ala Clockwork Orange in order to control their minds? Which the skull didn't even do? Lame.
The aliens could have been ok if they had explained any of it and any of the characters seemed surprized when they showed up. With the ark and the grail they needed less explaining because these were already sort of familiar.
Those prairie dogs and monkeys totally lame and unnessacery, added in as Jar-Jar was. Computer generated animals still look like, ummm, computer generated animals.
I like a good fun movie, this was just not it. Which I found really disappointing (can you tell?) because I still thought all the actors worked very well together.
On the other hand Back to the Future was on this past weekend that is still really funny.
