I saw it today.
It was disappointing but was pretty decent anyways. Aliens aren't any more mythical than anything allready seen in Indie movies. (hundreds of year old man... removal of heart with hand while still alive... etc...) I hate Shia LaBeouf so much. He basically ruined the movie for me. I was entirely pissed off when he showed up on screen. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

I really hope they weren't serious in the implication that LaBeouf might become the next Indiana Jones.

LaBeouf has done a good job in a couple other movies (Distubia, Transformers) but I really don't think that he is right for this movie.

I like shia, and I liked him in this movie as well. I think George Lucas is falling off of his rocker, though. It may not be any more mithical, but they never really hinted towards extra terrestrials. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

Ford has already said he has signed on for two more "Indy" movies which gradually "pass the torch" from Harrison Ford's "Indiana Jones" to Shia LeBouef's "Mutt". ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Hmm...it's a 50/50 shot of survival. As long as they leave out E.T. I might see them just because. However, I am stubborn in my ways and don't want to "replace" a classic such as Ford in the Indy series. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

I think I just threw up in my mouth. When will people realize that LeBouef isin't able to play any other characters than the stereotypical idiot teenager that he plays in every movie? They should have just left the series where it was. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

It's not the only childhood favorite that is getting the Viking Triathlon treatment. (for those short on their history, that's Rape, Pillage, then plunder. Don't get it backward or it gets messy) The Terminator pre/sequals are already shooting in New Mexico with Christian Bale as John Connor in the post-apocalyptic setting of 2018, and yes the Governator is making an appearance in these as well. Aliens and Predator have been serially raped over the past decade to produce the festering piles called "Alien Resurrection," "Alien Vs Predator," and "Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem." And both Scott and McTiernan's visions will continue to be plundered for whatever can make a quick buck for years to come. Even James Cameron is jumping on the "I've run out of ideas" boat and is co-writing/directing a live action version of "Battle Angel Alita" (One of the first popular Anime Series to be subbed/dubbed into english in the 80's). I have no faith in Hollywood anymore. Soon, I expect to see 1,000 person song and dance scenes break out in the middle of every movie. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

I didn't know they were making more terminators. I could go for another terminator but only if Arnold starred in it. Despite the fact that I saw them about a thousand times, they were pretty crappy movies. And Arnold is one of the worst "popular" actors ever. Predator got raped in the sequal unlike aliens which remained decent for a few movies. I was unaware of more movies but i'm not surprised. I have hated hollywood lately. Though there are still good movies coming out once in a while that surprise me. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

| I'm not really sure why people are almost wanting to dislike this movie. In any comparison to the previous movies, it's an unlikely hero (part time teacher/part time action junkie) searching to find things that are mythical and utterly unrealistic. The addition of a sidekick was inevitable and seen in Temple of Doom. Other than a few somewhat cheesy parts (like in every one of the previous movies) I thought it was pretty good. I'd go see it again with someone who hasn't seen it yet. |

I'm not seeing it because of Lebuff. I heard they had to paint a beard/5:00 shadow on him because he couldn't grow one...

I have a feeling that the real fans of the old ones didn't like this one and people who weren't into the first ones as much loved this. Seems to be the reaction that I am getting anyways. Nobody is complaining about the things you mentioned. (nobody here anyways) The four major things that just killed the movie for me are: 1)Shia LaBeouf 2)The inclusion of the alien ship. It was stupid, entirely pointless, and could have been taken out from the movie for the amount of time it was on screen. 3) The stupid cliches. (eg. Their treasure WAS knowledge) 3)Shia LaBeouf I really liked the russian spin on the nazis from the previous movies. (done extremely well) Also, did anyone notice during the nuclear test zone scenes (which were about an unrealistic as the alien scenes but whatever) that the house he ran into looked exactly like his boyhood house shown in the tird movie? I was actually expecting him to run in and see Sean Connery. (I won't spoil it but I was disappointed)
If you close your eyes on the scenes that he was in, than it was a half decent movie. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Definitely do that. At least make up your own opinion about it. I went it trying to find reasons to not like it because I had previously read a lot of negative stuff. When I realized that it was just another Indy movie, but with more CGI, I started to like it. |

The art of movie making itself has changed a ton since the original three came out. Camera and shooting technology, CGI, all of it have basically killed the way that the old movies were made. Not to mention the tastes of moviegoers overall have completely changed, and the guys who make movies today know that and are trying to maximize their dollar. Look at Star Wars, it did the same thing. The old ways are dead, the classic awesomeness that was the original trilogy gave in to CGI, new methods of movie making and a new target audience, and the subsequent movies were a joke. Indiana Jones won't be any different. "Newness" dictates from the starting gate that it won't be in the same class as the first three, and I've come to accept that right out of the box. ------------- ? |

You gave me a flashback with the above statement. I made the mistake of reading a sci-fi novel while I was recuperating from my first back surgery. (It wasn't related to "Aliens" or "Predators," but it did deal with an alien invasion that changed people from the inside to the outside.) I'd also had complications in recovery that required them to put the breathing tube back in when I was about half awake and leave it in until I was nearly fully conscious. Additionally, I was heavily medicated and hitting the "booster button" for the pain meds nearly continuously. When you combined this all together (the book, the breathing tube experience and the medication) I was somewhat confused. During what I thought were lucid moments I would repeatedly read the same page then look at nurses and seriously wonder if they were aliens in disguise. During one less lucid moment I had a hallucination that started with me thinking that the medical staff had put the breathing tube back in when I was napping but when I opened my eyes it was actually one of the face-hugger things from the Alien movies. The weird part was there was a chorus line of additional eggs arrayed around me with the face-huggers half way out of them and they were swaying in unison while singing about putting a baby alien in my stomach. (I remember being surprised at how melodious they were.) The next day, when I was a little more aware, I decided to finish the book after the IV was removed. -------------

im sorry but thats not really true...just because of the technological advances in film making, that doesn't necessarily mean the movies are much different than the past...you can still make a crap movie with a lot of awesome special effects and camera angles... it's much like video games...you can have an awesome looking game graphically, but if the gameplay itself sucks, the game sucks... good movies can still be made in comparison to classics with CGI, it just seems that hollywood isn't trying as hard or isn't as creative as they once were...i didn't just dislike the new indy because it was a disgrace to the indiana jones name...hey if you wanna rip off the idea then do it...just dont make a new movie and stick an old name on it to boost sales...but besides that the movie was freakin' stupid...it made lost look like a good tv show -------------

Swing and a miss. If this was the case, why do they remake old movies? Movies are completely different than they were in the past. Technological advances constantly change the way movies are being made, what they look like, and their quality. Some changes: Color Digital sound Anamatronics CGI These changes are to ensure that in our 21st century world, we don't get "Nosferatu" when we're looking for "Blade" Thanks to the alterations in movie technology since the last three Indy movies were made, you can't expect the new one to be in line with the original classics, and I don't, so I'm probably not going to be as disappointed in the new one as you, if at all. ------------- ? |

I'm still shocked that people actually find the plot of the new Indy movie actually different than the plots of the previous three. It was more similiar to Temple of Doom in plot sense, but it wasn't completely made up. They took the idea from the cult followings around the real crystal skulls. |

Which is dumb because "real" crystal skulls have no tool marks from that time, but some bear tool marks from more recent times. So therefore cult following are stupid. I know I am just arguing nonsense....I should add I liked the movie(other than aliens). ------------- Que pasa?

Did anybody else just want to leave when they pulled that plastic and sparkle looking skull out? it looked so fake it was rediculus, and if that wasn't enough to bother you i would also like to point out the cheesy lines that Mr. Ford continued to make. it seemed worse during the beginning and it really bothered me how corny everything he said was but eventually i think i forgot about it as it became more entertaining. I will say that speilberg just loves to throw aliens in everything he touches. Im not sure how i felt about shia lebouf, it seemed like he had trouble staying in character, a hard doesn't take anything greeser. It kept fading as he fell back into his typical kid role and it bothered me how it kept jumping from him playing down and acting like child almost and then trying to knife Indy when he made an off comment about his mom. I don't know, i think overall i was entertained but a little disappointed. I expected worse, the trailer was horrible. oh yeah and remember shia's little tarzan bit, that was really believable! peace |

Yeah, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Hook, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Munich. There were way too many aliens in those movies. The movie, with the addition of more CGI, was a basic Indy movie. |

The setting was one of the biggest problems for me. 1957 just seems so wrong for Indiana Jones. I half expected to see Michael J. Fox in a Delorian in the background. It was a freak hybrid setting.

I am torn on this one. Unlike most on here, I saw all three of the originals in the movie theater and am assuming I will be disappointed with the new one. Plus the fact I can't stand that little putz Shia Leboof. I am sure my 9 year old daughter will love it though. But than again, she's is dying with excitement for the release of HSM3. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
