Welcome to Gaia! ::

It doesn't interest me. I don't like comic book movies especially ones that are technology based..if you know what I mean.. sweatdrop

I absolutely totally agree. The action was entertaining and the acting was good, even from Shia..the storyline was just a let down. The ending of a film always sways your opinion because it's the last thing you remember and it's what the whole film builds up to, and the ending was total rubbish in my opinion, so I've lost my fondness for the rest of the film, which overall, wasn't that bad.
I just don't think it was anywhere near as good as the previous films...and it feels like this film has made a brilliant series seem like a farce...it was just too silly for my liking.

I think they spent too long getting the feel of the period right. While it was very acurate, you can't just base a movie on going "look, this is how the 50's was folks!"
I agree that they spent too long making Shia the next Indy, which he will never EVER be. I just really hope they don't make any son of Indy films..that would truly suck and I would love to put a bullet in George Lucas' head if he decides to do that.
The action was decent but I think this was the main reason why I didn't like the film...there was no sense of peril..the action was enjoyable but I never felt like I was on the edge of my seat..there was no excitement at all. The film just felt very, very flat.

I know Lucas said he was interested in a 5th. Apparently he always planned 5 from the start. But Shia as lead?? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH crying

haha. There's a rumour that Shia has signed on for 3 more films. Harrison said if Lucas and Spileberg came to him with a good script he would do another film. But I didn't think Crystal Skull was a good script so I'm not filled with confidence. sweatdrop

lol that's how I felt before I saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and now I'm not so sure I'd like to see another Indy film. My imagination is better than the reality of the movies.. sweatdrop whee I just end up thinking of all the possibilities Lucas and Spielberg could do...and yet they chose the way they did regarding plot, script and..well..action. sweatdrop I'm not saying I could do any better...they're the movie makers, they invented Indy in the first place..that makes them geniuses...but I think there is a point where it's best left to my imagination rather than taking it any further..

oh I'm sure it was definately Lucas' idea..I don't think Spielberg dreampt it up...but he must have agreed to it, so he must have thought it would be ok.

I finally get to see Drillbit Taylor tonight.
