EricJ Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 thoughts? critiques? I am trying to decide if I even want to go see it, because if it's horrible I don't want to ruin my experience with the earlier ones...well, the first one at least, since 2 was pretty poor.

Nathan Caroland Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 It's a renter IMO. Enjoyable for what it was, but certainly not on par with the other ones I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waghorn41 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Go see it, Harrison is on form and great to watch again. It's funny, got a continuous twist with one character and has a dig at the 1950's McCarthy regime, Roswell etc. Sit back and enjoy, it'll be worth it.

Wren Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Saw this on the weekend. I didn't hate it, or feel that it marred my memory of the previous ones, though I certainly don't think it's up to the quality of the originals. There are a couple of over-the-top parts. The soda fountain, McCarthism 50's threw me a little for an Indy movie, but once it got down to the action the when didn't much matter.

Hinton Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 It was okay. I've been a huge Indiana Jones fan since I saw the first one back in my younger days, so I was really looking forward to this, especially considering they took so long to make it. I figured that since they were being so picky with the script, then it would be even better than any of the others. That's not to say that it's a bad movie; it's fun, has some funny moments in it and there's some decent action sequences. Some parts of it are kind of cheesy and some are fairly predictable. I won't get into them; don't want to spoil it for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I was kind of frothing at the mouth to see this and the only thing I can say is agree with everyone that has commented here... doesn't kill the originals but didn't leave me entirely satisfied that it adds any more to the first three....enjoyed it but wouldn't say it is a big film that you must rush out and see....I'd say see it at the theatre if for no other reason than to here the music in a theatre setting and take in some of the big scenes but wait until the cheap seats are available....

Keltheos Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Saw it last weekend. It's a so-so summer blockbuster. I went into it putting what I'd heard/expected aside and was disappointed. It's not bad, just not all that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
