Indiana Jones

One Word: AWESOME!!!!!

I just saw it with a friend and we were like “WOW!”. The beginning of the movie was a little bit shaky, (made me wonder why I spent $9 to see it) but once the action starts, you are in one of the coolest adventures of your life. Trust me, if you want to experience an adventure, Jones is the man to take. I was mesmerized by the special effects and the beautiful landscapes as the movie proceeded.

Then at one point in the movie, as the audience was so silent you could have heard a pin drop, I was shock when a certain character said something and I was like “ WHAT!” out loud and the audience heard me and laugh. I leave you to see why I said that!

Lastly, do your homework before you see it because you will be somewhat confuse at some of stuff in the movie if you don't.

Overall, an amazing movie and hope all of you can see it!

Re: Indiana Jones

I heard that if you loved the old Jones movies you wouldn't be too fond of the new one, but I take it that's not the case Either way I definitely plan on going to see it with some friends, probably next week, so don't spoil anything!

Re: Indiana Jones

It was OK, but certainly nowhere near as good as the older movies. The plot was just bizarre and some of the characters pretty cliché, but the special effects and action scenes were amazing.

I'm definitely not complaining, though, since I got to see it for free (Google bought out 30 or so screenings and gave away the tickets to employees).

Re: Indiana Jones

The movie was a bit like Indy. Old and worn and probably starting to get a bit tired( I really hope the rumors aren't true and George Lucas isn't trying to make a fifth movie. The series needs closure).
Still it was pretty fun (Gadzooks those ants were freaky! If I ever go to South America I'm bringing a case of Raid!) and it was good seeing Indy and Marion working together again. And Shia LeBeouf was a welcome addition to the franchise. The alien story felt like a tack on from CEo3K.

Re: Indiana Jones

I thought it could have been better. My friends also thought parts of it reminded them of National Treasure too much.

It certainly did start with a bang though didn't it.

Re: Indiana Jones

Awful. Just really bad, save your money and go see something else. They should have left it at three films, but I guess Lucas has a knack for bringing back things he shouldn't.

Re: Indiana Jones

I loved the movie. It had a weird plot but they made it fit into the Indiana Jones realm. It was funny and exciting and I am sure I will watch it again when it comes out on dvd. The only problem I had with it was the monkey scene. And they totally squashed the idea of any more Indy films, at least that is the way i feel, at the end of the movie. I won't ruin the ending, but my entire group of friends sighed a sigh of relief whenever they stopped any more Indy films from happening.

And come on it's Harrison freakin Ford. He is like the sexiest man alive and he is in his 60s i think.

I'm worried what Clone Wars is going to be like August 15th. He wrote it so it's a good chance it'll be terrible.

Re: Indiana Jones

I may just be a Lucas fan boy but i think because he wrote it, it should be at least decent. I liked the prequel trilogy, not as much as the original but none the less it was well written.

Re: Indiana Jones

I haven't seen it yet (plan to soon, I usually catch big releases like this) but I've heard from a couple people that the movie is great but the ending made them wish they hadn't gone. Any comments on that? (sans spoilers)

Yeah that is what I didn't like about the movie. The ending was way too cliché. But it is an overall good movie, and I would recommend seeing it.

Re: Indiana Jones

I thought the story was horrible, but it's worth seeing for the action scenes. The beginning (15mins wasted - barely related) and end (WTF?) are terrible...

Re: Indiana Jones

WARNING: Contains minor spoilage.

If it wasn't part of the Jones series and people didn't have such a high standard, then it would have been amazing and I doubt anyone would have thought anything other then: great movie. With that being said, it was still great. Yes, it did have high standards to meet...but it met everyone of them. I thought that the monkey thing was the only thing I would have changed. Also, as far as the ending goes, it was definitely cliche. But you must realize that an ending must be good for it to become a cliche. Finally, for the sequal possibility...I would not make another Indiana Jones movie. However, I would make a Mutt Jones movie. Have it based off of Shia's character possibly in the future. Have him go to Indy for a bit of info but that be about it for Indy. Just a thought.
