   Worse movie ever. Plot such crap. Lucas killed Mr Jones, not in the movie, but in real life. Please dont go and see make them pay for this crap of a movie.

2. Fruky May 22nd, 2008 at 11:58 am 2

   I havn´t seen it yet. I´ve read good reviews and bad ones. Hopefully im not as dissapointed as our buddy here. Just hearing the theme song makes me excited about it. Pan pannaaa nananaaa!

   lucas and spielberg gave me some of my favorite and most memorable childhood idols through their films, and i wish they would let age and cynicism take that away from me; they don’t have to do it themselves. i want my money back. no, really. lucas, if you’re reading this, i’m not kidding. i want my money back. now.

4. mariob May 22nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm 4

   george lucas should get dysentery for this…

5. Fruky May 22nd, 2008 at 8:07 pm 5

6. Lachlan May 22nd, 2008 at 8:29 pm 6

   it sucks so bad

7. Fruky May 22nd, 2008 at 10:48 pm 7

   Ok just tell me now should i not even waste my money on it?

8. nick May 23rd, 2008 at 12:29 am 8

   well, I din’t have anything against the movie itslef, except, would you drop the whole evil Russians theme already? It’s so old and so annoying! I mean the Soviet Government is evil, we all know, but because of movies like these Americans still feed off the idea that all Russians are as Hollywood portrays them…

9. admin May 23rd, 2008 at 12:45 am 9

   yeah i guess we should pick on someone else now.

10. Coby May 23rd, 2008 at 12:48 am 10

    This was extremely disappointing. A disgrace to the Indiana Jones trilogy. Full of dumb one liners, ridiculously fake looking CGI, over the top action scenes, and a horrendous plot line and script. People giving this a good review are either young children, or idiots. I wanted to puke when I heard some people applauding when it ended. It was that bad…

11. admin May 23rd, 2008 at 12:52 am 11

    I never thought Id hear i need to see this movie already and give my opinion

12. mariob May 23rd, 2008 at 1:07 am 12

    george lucas aint what he used to be… he’s old… repetitive… this character should be moved to another director…

13. Fruky May 23rd, 2008 at 1:20 am 13

    I dont agree mario I think he is still the man

14. as May 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 am 14

    nah fruky i disagree with u. mario is completely right. from star wars episode 1, lucas has been a disaster. back to point, i just watched indy tonight and god it was horrible. Cheesy dialogue, horrible plot and not to mention *spoiler* the UFOS!? Honestly a BIG wtf there, as soon as they brought that element in, my brain switched off.

    throughout the whole film, u keep telling yourself that it’ll get better. but it never picks up, it just goes down down down hill

15. Fruky May 23rd, 2008 at 1:38 am 15

    Wow I guess I’m going to save my money this weekend and not watch it… Bummer

16. Jared May 23rd, 2008 at 11:52 am 16

    Indy 4 was terrible. Harrison Ford was stiff and never seemed concerned about anything that was going on. Shia LaBouff totally sucks. They should’ve brought back Short Round. Overall , the movie was a turd. George Lucas is absolutely terrible. His head is so far up his own butt. Steven Spielberg really hasn’t made a good action movie since Last Crusade. Just like all the other Boomers, it’s time to retire.

17. Mike May 23rd, 2008 at 2:08 pm 17

    AMEN! This movie BLLLLLOOOOOWWWS. After the warehouse opener…I could have walked out and enjoyed the movie more.

    Not only is it bad compared to the first 3 movies ..but it sucks as a stand alone movie too! I was thinking to myself, “Do I hate this because it sucks compared the movies?”and the answer is a resounding NO it just sucks

18. Fruky May 23rd, 2008 at 2:13 pm 18

    Its sad to read this comments about Lucas en Speilberg there are heroes to all film makers. I guess you can’t be perfect

19. Orsonzilla May 23rd, 2008 at 4:06 pm 19

    Indiana, the Duck.

    It felt like one of those awful 70s “reunion” specials, or that Star Wars Holiday special.

    In this one Indy, the wife, the kid and a stand-in for grampa (who had the good sense to stay retired rather than mar the memory of his last film with this horror) go to an Indiana Jones adveenture ride and bicker amongst themselves.

    The film is well crafted- technically, but MAN , I owe LXG an apology.

20. The Thinker May 23rd, 2008 at 8:05 pm 20

    This film is the worst Indy movie I have ever seen. Indiana acts like Jack Sparrow or a Marvel character. He survives by an atomic bomb explosion into a fridge. The special effects are bad and the music is copied by raiders of the lost ark….Mutt is an equilibrist between 2 jeeps in the jungle or plays the role of Tarzan with some gay 3d monkeys jumping through the trees. Marion jumps with a jeep into an abyss catapulting a tree over russian soldiers….it is a nonsense film for children grew up with power rangers or teletubbies..not for real fans! I want my money back and now!

21. Greg S. May 23rd, 2008 at 11:21 pm 21

    Spielberg and Lucas are among the richest men in Hollywood, they have sold their souls and can no longer produce anything of reasonable quality, Indy four is a piece of trash.

22. MG May 23rd, 2008 at 11:45 pm 22

    It Sucks. I knew it was going to suck. I went anyway. The group I went with didn’t know it sucked, I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t tell them it sucked. I said to myself, it can’t be as bad as The Wicker Man. Well I’ll say the same thing here as I said about The Wicker Man. If you need a really good laugh, go for it, there are parts where I couldn’t stop laughing.

23. Fruky May 24th, 2008 at 1:03 am 23

    Speechless… I cant belive it

24. LS May 24th, 2008 at 12:24 pm 24

    I’ve never been so disappointed in a movie as I was with this one. I expected so much more from a Spielberg/Lucas film. I sat through the entire movie in total disbelief, I kept saying it couldn’t possibly get any worse,,, but of-course it did!!!! What happened here? What were they thinking? Or I suppose I should say “why weren’t they thinking?” Do they Spielberg & Lucas think we the American public are stupid they can just spoon feed us garbage like this and that we lap it up and feel satisfied? I think not!!!!

25. mbvin May 24th, 2008 at 4:04 pm 25

    George Lucas MUST be stopped.
    In the early days of Lucas he gave us two of the finest sets fo movies of all time in Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Apparently twenty years of sitting on his ass and shooting draino dirrectly into his cranuim have finally caught up to him.

    Congrats George, you have turned Indiana Jones into a sad old man with nothing left to live for. Spielgurg is no better.

    My prediction is that ET 2 will be out by 2010 where ET will come back to earth to write High School Musical 3, fly to paris where he and his trusty sidekick monkey will win the Tour de France and be awarded with the presidency of the United State.

    Boycot Lucas!!!

26. nancy reagan May 24th, 2008 at 9:01 pm 26

    this movie blows!! Shia LaBouff should be replaced with an ape. at least the primate would throw poop around and make funny faces.

    speed racer totally kicks this movie’s a** … that’s how bad this movie is!!

    dont WASTE ur money on this POS.

27. tom May 25th, 2008 at 4:43 am 27

    Shia goes swinging through the jungle on vines with a bunch of monkeys fallowing him, then he jumps from the vine and lands in Indie’s jeep….

    Need I say more? It SUCKED.

28. Harrison Ford May 25th, 2008 at 3:44 pm 28

    I take offense that this movie blows. Sure, I am old and can’t act to save my life, but I got paid , and isn’t that what it is all about. Show me the money…..
    Karen Allen was never hot even in her prime, but so what. she was almost hot in Animal House about 20 years ago.
    The kid that played my son was dynamite in Transformers, my movie would have been better if Megan Fox had been in it….
    Oh well….
    Maybe Han Solo can come back as a senile warrior in another Star Wars remake to make up for the dud in this movie….
    Yes, you can survive a nuclear bomb in a refrigerator, just ask all those deformed survivors from Hiroshima…..
    Anyone can sword fight between 2 moving cars………
    You just need training……
    Tons of people have survived 3 waterfalls, yet still managed to hold on to the steering wheel with no visible injuries…..
    Feel free to email me at my address : harrisonFord@iblow.com

29. Megan Fox May 25th, 2008 at 3:56 pm 29

    Dear Harrison Ford,

    I have a patch of dirt in my front yard that is as old as you. Shia Lebouf, you and I are through…..YOu could not act your way out of a wet paper bag…..How dare you want me to be in a movie that you could not pay me enough to see.. let alone act in……

    Your email address is so true….you do blow….

30. Shia Lebouf May 25th, 2008 at 4:04 pm 30

    Just so you know, i am half monkey. that completely explains how i can swing through the jungle on vines. That is also the reason that the monkeys followed me. I also went to a school on how to swordfight between two moving cars while being continuously hit in the testicles with plants. I graduated with full medals. I am also so gay that i need to continuously run a comb through my hair. By the way, megan, i want you to take me back. I also hope there will be a transformers 2 so i can reclaim my career. And just so you know, i like working with elderly men like harrison ford. It makes total sense that he could be my father, considering our 40 year age difference.

    Sincerely,
    Shia Lebouf

    P.S. Email me at ShiaLebouf@huh.com

31. stevo May 25th, 2008 at 4:16 pm 31

    this movie blew chunks!
    it was void of any interst what so ever.
    i fell alseep twice

32. Jessica May 25th, 2008 at 8:09 pm 32

    I just left the theater and all I can say is GEORGE LUCAS OWES ME MONEY! What was that ball of garbage I just saw? I nearly left the theater in the first 30 minutes, but made myself stay to give it the benefit of the doubt.

    Wow, should have gone with my gut and left.

    So disappointing; had high hopes for this one.

33. Fruky May 25th, 2008 at 10:28 pm 33

    a fellow blogger went to see the movie jst now and he could not stay past the 1st 10 min… so its official… THIS MOVIE SUCKS!

34. nuala May 25th, 2008 at 10:38 pm 34

    The scene where they are in the woods, including the swing from the vines from Return Of the Jedi. The scene with the ants reminded me of the first Indiana Jones, where the faces melt, The ending JUST sucked. Then I realized maybe it just because I got older and THAT sucks.

35. Paul May 26th, 2008 at 1:27 pm 35

    I went to see this movie EXPECTING and WANTING to like it. After all, it is one of those movies that no matter what, it must be good. Well, twenty minutes into the thing I still had no clue what the hell was going on, or where the story was going. A little later all I could think about was what I was going to have for dinner. In a nut shell: poorly written, bad plot, poor acting, a few sets looked so much like a model that I thought they were actually showing a model of something, but no, it was supposed to be a “real set”. And the “Bad Guy” (Woman), what’s with the sword? what a dumb, stupid prop. Then there is the escape in a refrigerator! that STRETCHED the limits of the possible to such an extent that it was plain stupid. Anyway, go see it and judge for yourselves.

36. emmcee pee pants May 26th, 2008 at 4:56 pm 36

    This movie is terrible. George Lucas is taking a steaming dump on my childhood. You hope the movie will get better but it never happens. A nuke goes off in the first 15 mins of the movie give me a break! Evidently indy spied on the reds back in the day also? They turned indy into a james bond - type character that doesnt groove at all with previous indy movies. George Lucas, spielberg and harrison ford are all guilty of simply stealing everyones money. Theres to much money involved to make good movies anymore. Im going to go cry over the death of dr. jones.

37. Erin May 26th, 2008 at 10:44 pm 37

    Wow. What a really shitty movie. Let’s see.. in the first 5 minutes we see Indy escape about 10,000 bullets from 15 feet away. Alright.. “suspention of disblief”. But, it gets far worse from there… falling down 3 of the largest waterfalls on earth, and not a scratch on anyone (but the lighter still works)… Indy Jr. turns in to Tarzan of the Jungle… ohhh.. and to top it off - Indy get’s friggin MARRIED at the end (sorry for the spoiler - but save your time). Indy was suppose to be like James Bond.. why the hell would they do that? I guess this is the “family friendly” age of Speilberg / Lucas, eh? What a horrible waste of $10. At least the popcorn was good.

38. Phil May 27th, 2008 at 12:03 pm 38

    I don’t even know where to start with this sack of shit. I didn’t see any previews or commercials before seeing the movie except for a quick glimpse at the jeep chase in the jungle. The whole time I was looking at I kept saying to myself, what happened to the great action shots out in the desert. It looked horrible and you knew it was all CGI. With that I went into the movie knowing that Lucas was going to disappoint me yet again. Funny enough, when his name came up on the screen my friend next to me said “Satan” out loud, while another friend 3 seats over from me said “Anti-Christ” all at the same time.

    I’m now very very curious to see the scripts/screenplays that he turned down these last few years before deciding to go with this one. I can just imagine lucas reading a screen play saying, “Atlantis? That will never do. What we need are Aliens….aliens and some monkeys. Yeah monkeys.”

    I’m sure Lucas is surrounded by a bunch of yes men who just nod and clap for him all day long.

    F*ck you Lucas. I’d write you a letter to complain but I’m sure you’d just wipe your ass with it and then go count your piles and piles of money.

39. topaz May 27th, 2008 at 2:41 pm 39

    sucked.
    you can escape from guys with guns by punching one of them and running?

    I think Lucas and friends simply have it backwards - they imagine the “awesome” visual effects they want to do and then just fill in any old plot to get you there. Those images are cool, sure… but at the cost of the whole movie being stupid. shame.

40. Lord Fenris May 27th, 2008 at 4:14 pm 40

    It sucked. God, did it suck. What really bothered me was the internal inconsistency; the whole business was just completely unwatchable.

    Let’s start with the plot: It is TOTAL gibberish. I dare you to explain to me, at the end of the movie, exactly how Indy’s son wound up finding him at the beginning of the movie. There’s something about Maryann, and South America, and a stepdad named Colin…I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, and I was totally unable to follow this explanation. John Hurt’s charatcer, Ox, is even worse; he’s crazy, but he also has all the answers; he found a skull, but put it back; he found the hidden city, but did he find it before or after he found the skull…? No idea. I’ve been thinking about this all day, and I can’t put the events the movie describes in any plausible order.

    Even worse: Aliens??? Aliens??? Seriously? The big threat is that Communist Russians will use aliens to control our brains? Are you kidding me? The premise was stupid, and the Russians were terrible bad guys; I have to admit I was rooting for them at least half the time. When Selko described how she was going to use her psychic powers to take over the us, my friends whispered “Hell, if the Russians had won at least we’d all have health insurance.” The Nazis from the earlier movies were much better villains; Nazis represent a sort of polished, seductive, elegant menace that really resonates. But Russians…come on; these guys couldn’t even conquer Afghanistan, and they had terrible fashion sense. The Ark of the Covenant was also a much more interesting artifact (which Lucas and Spielberg appear to acknowledge near the beginning of the movie) because this is GOD we’re talking about…remember, at the end of Raiders, it’s not Indy that kills the Nazis; it’s the power of God himself. Aliens are supposed to compare with that???

    Cate Blanchett’s main bad guy, Selko, was also ridiculous…she USES a SWORD??? A SWORD??? In 19fucking57??? That’s the stupidest, least-scary weapon I can think of. It also makes NO sense in the context of Stalinist Russia; smallswords and rapiers of the type she carries were symbols of the Imperial aristocracy; no Soviet officer could have carried one without being tortured to death by Felix Dzerzhinsky and the NKVD.

    Now: Are the aliens magnetic, or not? Why are metals that should not be magnetic at all (like lead shotgun pellets, and later gold) attracted to the aliens? If the aliens are magnetic enough to re-orient the hanging overhead lights in “Hangar 51,” why is it possible for Mac to hold a gun, aimed at Indy, with one hand, even though the alien remains are just ten feet away? The way the “magnetism” turned on and off, apparently randomly, and even responded to something as silly as taking the “magnetic skull” out of a cloth bag at one point, was REALLY irritating. It just seemed like evidence that the director expects you to be dumber than the average 5-year old.

    Note: No refrigerator has ever been lined with lead (not even for “insulation” purposes, as stated in the movie). Lead is an excellent conductor of heat; it will not insulate anything from heat or cold. No refrigerator has ever survived within a mile of an atomic blast. No human can survive being thrown around in a metal box that has apparently been propelled several miles by an atomic blast. Completely ridiculous.

    More stupidity in the graveyard in Peru: WHO THE HELL are the guys in the mosnter masks? Why are they hanging around a graveyard? There’s ZERO explanation of where these guys come from, and, if they’re fanatical enough to hang around the graveyard attacking anyone who comes close, why do they take off when Indy merely pulls out a pistol? He doesn’t even FIRE it! They just run away! And how the hell did Ox get past these guys; he’s a doddering old man even when he’s sane; and he definitely came through the graveyard. What, did he drool on them in an overly aggresive manner?

    And then there are the stupid, interminable, totally unconvincing chase scenes through the jungle. The whole silly thing starts with the Russians tearing through the forest with a big bulldozer thing. That was kind of cool. But, clearly, there’s no road; they’re just driving down the track left by the bulldozer. Unfortunately, after Indy blows up the bulldozer with a single RPG round (not possible), the remaining vehicles go careering through the jungle on what looks like Interstate 80. Where the hell did this road come from, that they’re driving down, if the bulldozer just blew up? If the jungle’s this easy to drive through, why did they need the bulldozer?

    Then they’re driving along this big cliff, with the Russians trying to push Jones, Inc., off to the right. There is no reason for this to happen. If I’m about to get pushed off a cliff to the right, by a car to my left, I will simply hit the brakes. The car on my right shoots past me, and then I can ram him from behind, as hard as it takes to push HIM off the cliff. Do the characters figure this out? No! They just keep careening along, letting the Russians try to push them over.

    And then the jumps over the waterfalls…so stupid. I can’t suspend disbelief this far, I’m sorry. All the good guys would have been dead after the first waterfall; the fact that they all survive just makes you angry as Spielberg and Lucas. They don’t even get thrown out of the floating car/boat thing; they seem to arrive at the bottom of each waterfall with everyone either in the vehicle or two feet from it. This, despite the fact that going over the waterfall, you can see the characters flying hundreds of feet from the car.

    And then the ending…derivative, predictable, and stupid. An hour into the movie, my girlfriend guessed exactly what would happen to Selko. And, of course, she was totally right.

    The bottom line is that CGI effects have ruined action movies forever. Lucas and Spielberg have become victims of the very technology they helped pioneer. There’s so much emphasis on stuff leaping and swinging and zooming around the screen that careful storytelling has gone completely out the window. A man getting shot at hundreds of times, without result, is not suspenseful or interesting. A man getting shot once, and dying immediately, creates instant suspense. Superman is boring, because he’s invulnerable and fake. Indy was always charming because he could be hurt, he could lose; he had to fight like hell and innovate like crazy to survive. He was a complex character; a supposed archaeologist who stole artifacts and sold them for money, at least some of the time; a man with a lot of obsessions and father issues. This new Indy is essentially invulnerable and immortal, because you know that all the hazards he faces are just CGI effects. And, when he survives something as ridicuolous as a plunge over a huge waterfall, in an open boat/car thing, with a jagged, broken windshield located right where it would decapitate all the occupants of the boat/car thing when they hit the water below, it lets you know you’re being lied to.

    There…I feel better.

41. Jerimiah May 28th, 2008 at 6:13 pm 41

    If old Gorge and Spielberg and the rest of the idiots in Hollywood don’t get that they had it right soon that they had it right in the 80’s and ditch the CG crap I will die!!! I was in school at the Art instate in Portland for CG and didn’t finish because of what he did to the Star Wars movies! Indiana was the last one left, and he killed him too… Please George STOP being cheap and pay for a real set. Instead of some computer geek that thinks he can draw!!!

42. Michael K May 28th, 2008 at 8:03 pm 42

    This is WORST sequal EVER!!! - Spielberg KILLED Indiana Jones! - I went in to see the “new” indiana jones movie,and NOT to see “Aliens no.8″ or “The X-Files”!! - This move would never have been made!!! - Indy + Ufo´s = 100% Pure SHIT!!

43. fruky May 28th, 2008 at 8:12 pm 43

    thanks to all your comments i decided to not waste my $8. I will not see Indi 4

44. Frost May 28th, 2008 at 8:38 pm 44

    Gold meant treasure. Their treasure was knowledge. WOW that was terrible! Normally I like it when characters who are smarter than me deduce things from clues and/or history, like in Da Vinci Code or something. However, every time Indy figured something out, it seemed as though he was talking to the camera trying to get you to believe the crap coming out of his mouth.
    -The lines god can see. Oh let’s go to Nazca Peru!
    -The Amazon River is obviously the snake.
    Sometimes it was too obvious, others it was way too vague. Either way, this story was terrible,and I’m glad I went to the matinee and saved a couple of bucks. If only I could just forget

45. cali May 28th, 2008 at 11:01 pm 45

    My wife, mother in law and myself fell asleep and walked out. Worst movie I’ve ever seen in the theater.

46. Bucko May 29th, 2008 at 6:19 pm 46

    I’m not a member or anything here, but I looked up “Indiana Jones sucks” on google because I saw it last night, and I absolutely despised this movie.

    Lord Fenris above points out a lot of excellent bad things about the movie, but really, every scene, almost every shot, contains something that just shouldn’t be there.

    Overall, I never felt that Indiana Jones was in any danger. Ever. I always felt that no matter what happened, he would just get away. 15 guys with guns on him, one foot away, could not hit him with all of their machine guns; this movie borrows from the A*Team’s concept, “You just can’t hit anything with a damned machine gun anymore.” There was no real reason for Indy to go on this adventure, and at any time someone could’ve said, “Hey, this is boring, let’s leave” and there wouldn’t really have been a reason not to. Indiana Jones, and his four sidekicks, go on an adventure from setpiece to setpiece, cold-cocking CGI BS en route to a ridiculous conclusion… yup.

    Oh, and was this really a “kingdom” of the “crystal skull”? What does that even mean?

47. Timbo May 30th, 2008 at 10:18 am 47

    I went and saw this movie on Wednesday night, and I must say, it was the worst piece of SHIT i’ve ever seen in the theater! Granted, i was comparing the movie to the First 3 when walking into the theater…but without the first 3 ever being created, this movie would STILL go into the large Crap-Pile atop most hollywood BS films now!!

    and can someone tell me WHY CATE BLANCHET IS IN EVERY GODDAMN MOVIE NOW??? Can we PLEASE LET HER GO!!! She Sucks, and wtf was with her playing Bob Dylan -shes NOT a DUDE (although looks like one at times)
    …and now this….Uhg.

    This movie stank like the back side of a “Monkeys” A$$……just ask Shia Lebouff, i’m sure he knows…that flaming c_ckmaster douche’-bag of an actor….I had enough of him in Transformers…and now he’s swinging with Monkeys dressed like Marlon Brando (sorry Marlon, you can blame SPIELBERG for that..his soul has been sold to the devil and it’s almost time for Lucifer to collect after this DUNG HEAP)

    and now Hollywood has taken upon itself to ruin yet another childhood memory with this “Crystal Skull” alien piece of doggy doo!!!

    Someone needs to take LUCAS out before Shia “Le-Douche’bag” becomes the next INDY dick!!!

48. Istvan May 30th, 2008 at 10:40 am 48

    What a piece of junk!!!!! Not even Lucas knows what this movie was about. Besides money. No way I’m gonna go and see another movie made by Lucas or Spielberg! Ever!

    Lucas says he can make a 5th Indy movie without Harrison Ford as a leading character. Go ahead, man! You’ll be watching that one in an empty movie theater…

    What a stupid way to end an otherwise fine trilogy. So stupid. No wonder Ford does not want a 5th Indy film. This gives him a bad name too, by the way.

    I think Lucas is an alien. That is the only logical explanation for what he did to Indiana Jones.

    Istvan

49. a mom June 1st, 2008 at 4:42 pm 49

    My son is only 13 and is an Indiana Jones fan literally since he was born, he just saw the movie, and he agrees with all the negative comments here, the first thing out of his mouth was “the graphics looked sooooo fake” then he went on “Indiana looks too old”, “it sucks” and “Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” overall my 13 year old is traumatized now, and I will be contacting my lawyers very soon to sue the killers of Indiana Jones, George Lucas and Spielberg, LOL!!

50. big jim June 1st, 2008 at 10:47 pm 50

    Aaahh, Spielberg, you really stuffed this one up!

    They took a script(probably not a bad one), kindof mixing indiana and the X-files, then added a whole big pile of shit. It basically took the WORST parts of the other movies and jammed them together with no plot and let ILM dog-turd it up with cgi crap.

    By the way, why did they have to get the skull when the dead alien also had a crystal skull!!! They needed a spare??

    I went home feeling a little sick, I grew up and did a PHD (which cost me a fortune) because I saw academics like Indy could be cool as well as clever. There goes another childhood dream.

    If I was Karen Allen I would have gone on a diet before starring in my biggest come-back role.

    Shame on you Mr (not Dr) Speilberg. And fuck you Lucas you double-chinned fanny-fart.

51. Corwin Grant June 2nd, 2008 at 2:32 am 51

    This movie is crap. That’s my review. The best words to describe this movie are predictable, old, tired, and boring. I love to see native tribesmen with stone weapons and masked skeleton faced grave people attacking Indy with sticks for no reason other than he needs someone to fight - how exciting. How about the red ant rip off of the Scorpion King beetles? How much less original could we get? And the giant alien head shaped magnetic skull! Could it have been any bigger or any more ridiculous? Why the hell was in magnetic? Or not magnetic because it attracted gold (for no good reason other than it was therefore magically special). What a bored tired plot - who didn’t know the skull opened the door to the skeleton alien men’s chamber? Which, by the way, looked like a bad Japanese Steak house. How many dumb questions are you left with - like who would only take one crystal skull and nothing else? Why not take the whole skeleton? Or maybe some treasures? Nah I want this skull. How about that legend of returning it and getting all powerful! Where did that come from because that’s not exactly what happens. Why did the crystal skull need to be “returned” and really - who gives a crap? Lucas and Spielberg must be getting Alzheimers. The dialogue was about as witty as a sleeping turd. The plot was nothing - “return the skull” WOW! How about predictability? A twenty minute car to car crash scene with machine guns and sword fighting. And yes, every bad accented hyper-stereotypical Russian bad mamma from the “B” movies of the seventies carries a sword and then (of course) Indy’s son is a sword fighter. Why not? We can’t think of anything original here. Three falls in a boat down a waterfall (that would have killed the aliens themselves) just so they could make a ride at Disney (could there be another explanation for them putting this boring predictable crap in there?). Hey, you got stuck in a tree - no problem. Why not swing with the monkies? Who will later attack your enemies! Who didn’t know that Shia LaBore was Indy’s (biker?) son? And how about that death defying descent down the predictable shrinking stone step stair case. Gee who knew they were gonna make it to that anti-climatic fall in to a puddle of water? Not me I thought they were all going to die right there. I went to see this based upon the previous Indy movies and Spielberg’s reputation for making really good movies. I like action as much as the next guy. But the same old formula gratuitous action with no plot - I’ll pass. I guess he’s lost his edge and I wish he would refund me my $50. He can afford it.

    The plot was expected. Ridiculous but expected.
    The enemy was expected. Ridiculous but expected.

    But Jones Jr swinging with monkeys so fast he catches up with a moving jeep going 80mph!

    One vehicle smashing on top of another leveling the entire top with all passengers looking up without a scratch!!

    Dropping off a waterfall and all surviving not once but 3 times IN A ROW!!!
    WHAT!!!

    Gimme a break…..This is the reason I really don’t watch movies anymore. Even my 7 year old was disappointed.

    Lame!

    Computer-animated Gophers?
    Stereotyped USSR villains?
    Horrible lighting.

    I left after 15 minutes. Got my money back.

    Lucas and Spielberg should be publicly executed.

    This movie GARGLES NUTS. I had to actually think hard to come up with a worse movie than this pile of garbage. i am not even going to compare it to the other indiana movies. this film stands on its own as one of the worst peices of shit ever made. lucas and speilberg should be drawn and quartered for releasing this diarrhea.

    at no time was i entertained whatsoever during this movie..

    i have talked to at LEAST 15 people (friends/coworkers) totally agree with me in every way. bad story, bad script, bad acting, bad direction, bad special effects. everything about this movie was simply awful..

    even the sound was awful, williams score was muddy and dull.. during the interrogation scene when indy is in the bunker the whole scene was voice-overed, their lips don’t match the audio.

    simply put this movie was a hack-job that was rushed through production and crudely slapped together in post. I firmly blame lucas for everything.

    STOP MAKING MOVIES LUCAS, YOU SUCK.
