I just saw the preview today. I was so excited I about pissed my britches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPTJ4v6KPrg (Not a Rick Roll) |
I think that was sarcasm.... www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=136&t=595067 |
I liked them all, I'm worried this one will probably be my least favorite, there are some spoilers in the thread above.... there will be somethings that set the episode apart from all the others. I ain't saying what, but it is very different. It looked like he was being held at gun point by "evil American troops" I sure hope Lucas doesn't ruin these films with propaganda BS.

Should be called the Movie Grave Yard. |
Can't trust that site for entertainment. So many of my favorite movies fall under 50% and many under 10%. |
| I saw it last night. I am a little tired today, but me and my wife really wanted to see it. I hate to say it, as I am a big fan of the 3 other movies, but this one kinda let me down. It was really "corny" a few times. Kinda like when your watching some of the new Star Wars movies, and you say to yourself, "man they could have taken that out and made the movie 100x better." I think my wife said it the best, they should have just not made it. |

Absolutely an absurd embarrassment... Totally ridiculous and an EPIC BETRAYAL of Indiana Jones fans. It sucked more than MegaMaid with a Dyson Vacuum!! My laughter was canceled-out by my crying when the little green alien went into the flying saucer and it took off. Dammit, George Lucas! |
just don't say we didn't warn you. i went with a couple of girls who like movies that i consider cheesy and crap, and are huge indiana jones fans. even they didn't like it. |
| I thought the story was okay to good. They could have actually made it work. But its the damn corny ass shit that Lucas does so well in Star Wars that makes the movie hurt. The first 3 movies seem like they didn't have it so much, much like the first 3 Star Wars movies. That combined with a few ridiculous parts and the movie just doesn't have what it should. |

I saw Raiders when I was 10 years old, Star Wars when I was 6, those movies are best seen through young eyes. Fact: sequels suck double Fact: trilogys blow,, except for LOTR, simply because they planned to make all 3 movies from the beginning. Triple fact: 70 year olds swinging on whips might as well have aliens Quadruple fact: I'm still going to see it |
Yup. Can't be taking your guys' word for how much it sucks. Must see for myself. |
This isn't a question of sequels! Last Crusade rocked! It's question of how much shit can George Lucas defecate on Indiana Jones fans! Answer: It's so much it cannot be measured by any means known to mankind! Dammit, George Lucas!! The suckage is not only strong with this one, it's the most suckage ever witnessed with such anticipation. Dammit, George Lucas!! |
 LOL, what movie did you see? TOO MUCH CGI for starters....! What's with all the reviews saying how little CGI it has!? THAT'S A LIE! It's chock FULL of CGI, especially the last half. I'll agree to the extent that Harrison Ford was awesome as Indiana Jones. Even the kid was good. It had the "Indy feel" of how the cinematography was done... But, c'mon... the storyline was full of ABSOLUTE EPIC FAIL! They COULD have made the crystal skull work as a MYSTERIOUS ARTIFACT with mystical power... something not explainable... or gone along the mystery lines of the beginning with the alien crate.... keeping us guessing if the alien thing was real or not... But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, 'ol George Lucas had to SHOW us the CGI little green alien get into his CGI flying saucer, while in the middle of a CGI remake of the ending of The Mummy Returns where the pyramid sucks all the jungle away...! THAT was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointing!!! C'mon, Lucas! Guh, it COULD have been a great Indiana Jones film! |
LOL, Temple of Doom has NOTHING on this atrocity of cinema! How EPIC is this a betrayal of fans... At least after Temple of Doom, we recovered with Last Crusade! Lucas, just stick to the Judeo-Christian artifacts and you'll have a winner every time! |
|
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" ...ah no-ah, it's... "Indiana Jones and the Roswell Alien Cover-up and How the Undead Army of Extras from Apocalypto Fail to Guard a Flying Saucer controlled by Alien Skeletons that Combine to Form an Alien That Makes A Russian Dominatrix Re-Enact the Death of General Grievous" |
SWEET!!!!!!! |

Went to the midnight showing. Quite a few groan worthy moments. It was a fun movie though. Karen Allen was horrible, which is too bad. Shia the "Boof" was actually good in this role. Spoilers below: FUCKING SWINGING FROM VINES? SERIOUSLY? Hey George, grenades aren't filled with gunpowder. The aliens could have definitely been left out. I would have preferred something along the lines of the temple collapsing in Last Crusade. We didn't have to see Jesus at the end of that movie! If you like nukes, see it. If you like M1 carbines firing when dropped, see it. |

wtop had a review and said it was way too "hip"...way too much harrison ford breaking the fourth wall and little insider jokes like "yeah, i'm a little too old to be believable in this." george lucas official has the touch of poo, i guess. i saw it in star wars 1-3 & 6 and the way he reworked the original so han solo only fired after he'd been shot at first. his audience is obviously 6-12 year olds.  i hated the jones sequels. temple of doom was nothing more than a fear factor gross out (although i enjoyed kate capshaw's big soft mommy funbags!) and lost crusade was nothing more than sean connery's last hurrah (i think this was a big hit in boca raton).

Pretty much. No Nazis? What the fuck is that? That's like making a Jaws 4 and replacing the shark with a dolphin. Or going to a baseball game and being told the concession stand no longer sells hot dogs. Like in Die Hard 4, where they edited out the "yippie cao yo, motherfucker." John McClane ALWAYS says that. Thus Die Hard 4 was not a real Die Hard movie to me, regardless of what Fox says. Plus the CGI in the new Indy movie was way over the top, and the movie just didn't feel like an Indiana Jones movie. Very disappointing for me. I'm going to hug my box set of 1-3 on DVD.

Just because you don't like it doesnt mean everyone is of the same opinion. Why don't I just go see it my self and be the judge. |
