Some friends and I are doing a marathon of Raiders, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade on Saturday then going top see Crystal Skull on Sat'dee nite.

I don't buy into the whole "he's too old argument".

It's gonna be awesome and I'd hoping that Karen Allen, the greatest Indy girl, lays a smack down on Cate Blanchett!

If the Crystal Skull was worth finding, he would have found it 25 years ago.

Just got back from Cronulla cinema I enjoyed it for what it is an Indiana Jones film.
I give it a rating 7/10.

Much better than I thought it would be. ON a par with the other sequels.

Here's my report I just wrote out in the cinema.

At cinema.
I'm sitting at a poor angle on the side.
All the hogs have stolen center seats!
I hate watching movies at an angle.

Was there any need to purchase a ticket really? I walked right through without anyone tearing off my stub.

It's mainly a 50+ year old crowd as I look around.
Means I don't have to put up with smart ass school kids yapping.
(That's why I didn't see it yesterday with the teachers strike.)

Some pig species to my left are rustling chip packets and eating with their mouths open which I find very offensive!
Can't they wait till they get home tonight to consume confectionary - this time of morning please!

Now, how am I going to manage this - I have a Zinger burger and an Original KFC fillet one too.
The movie's about to start and I have to do this report?

Can't believe I've been forced to sit where I am!
This ain't the Cin-stadium either it's one of those small ones.

These 2 greasy burgers are going to make it hard to use the pen.

Believe this - I've got lettuce under my feet!
It always happens, doesn't it?
It's a no no in my cinema books.
A sin of highest order.
How can I sit through the film knowing that wet lettuce is under my feet?
My socks will be damaged from moisture exposure!
I have to be truthful it makes me uncomfortable.

Hancock with Will Smith has that killer kid from the new Halloween in it.
W. Smith is a real smug bastard isn't he? He ain't cool and this Hancock movie is dumb.
More rubbish.

Kung Fu Panther? Yer keep insulting the public why don't ya!
Believe the sh*t that's coming out?

Indy 4 has started.
Sort of a cartoonish start.

Is this whole 50's car theme in refrence to American Grafitti?
That's the bloody car from American Grafitti isn't it? They've cut the front of it off though.

Harrison Ford quote, "The way woo put the ww's puts you in the East Ukraine?"

I don't know about you but I've new found respect for Cate Blanchett.
She's excellent.
Blanchet is cold as ice.

agent-irina-spalko-1.jpg


Blanchet's Spalko character is damn near man of the match.
I haven't seen a movie villan like this for a while.

Roswell Alien's?

I knew the thing from the first Indy would appear in this storage facility.

"Howdy doody time."
(Back to the Future 3.)

This 50's test drop zone is neat.
It's ghostly.
(It was my favourite part of the whole film.)
They pulled it off well.
Indy running around in the 50's knocking on the backdoor of a Back to the future type house.


Is this a comedy?

Jone's would have broke his neck in that refrigerator.

An old 50's dust-up in the bar. Neat.
The Outsiders Greazers versus the ??? I forget.
"Pony boy! It's Swayze, I'm dying! Pony Boy Curtis are you listening to me?" The Karate Kid was in that. "I don't want to die."

Cemetery scene is brilliant.
The skeleton faces should have been real ghosts not kids!
The reverse killer dart-bullet is neat in the mouth.

Is the new kid taking away some of Indy's gloss?
Is it ruining the film having the younger side-kick showing no respect toward Indy?

The Scorpian advice is spot on the money.
Listen and learn.

The silvery/blue skull thing is cool.

I want one.

Aliens? An Alien theme? (That's caught me off guard.)

This scene is rubbish - the whole monkey swinging thing is stupid as with the sword fighting on the 2 cars.
Far fetched.
Keep it real please.
Although Blanchett has delivered a swift left to this kids guts!
Good punch.

FIRE ANTS! 1000's of them. The Red soldier being taken down the hole is great.
I like it.
Although it's computerised it's still half decent the whole giant ant thing.

Indy has some nice punch combinations too.
Head to the body. Double up Jones.
Great punches.

Water fall scene is far fetched. Very stupid. You'd be dead by the first drop.
And like John McClane these soldiers are terrible when it comes to shooting one man. They seem to forget how to shoot properly.

The Alien touch is odd?
Why would the Aliens turn nasty on the ones who delivered the skull?
Wouldn't they reward them instead of blowing their stack, literally.

They could have made this film better with the portals being opened and taken the viewer to different locations those people got sucked into.
When the Red soldiers got sucked up they should have showed us where they went.
And they could have done the whole Back to the Future 2 thing and have Indy being taken back to part 3 or something.

No one eats or takes a piss in this movie!

The ending is ruined. that's a cop out!
The whole Spiderman 2 bullsh*t type nonsense.
Where'd Hollywood get this idea that a wedding goes hand in hand in film?

I gotta tell ya, Karen Allen looked like sh*t!
She's plump and unattractive.
Her role was limited to nothing really.
Did they give the actors much dialogue?
I think the dialogue and ending was thin.

But I'm not gonna bad mouth Indiana Jones.
I like the series myself and think that part 3 is the best movie ever made.

But part 2 I hate watching!
It's an adventure he didn't have to go on!

Indy 4 - It's solid but could have been better 8 out of 10 I guess.

Kate Blanchett is brilliant!

It wasn't sh*t at all. I enjoyed the movie.

St. brett what do you have against aliens? Had a bad experience?

I do agree with you that you can't survive a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge lol

The friends who I respect the cinematic tastes of have all bashed the ending, saying it left a bad taste in their mouths and reeked of Spielberg/Lucas. I'll check it out myself, but I'm wary now.

No different to any of the other endings to be honest. If anything better than the last Crusade ending imo.

Anyone else feel that after the end (without giving it away) at the temple you feel that the whole mission just ended up being one big pointless journey???

Nothing happened. But good eye candy and was ok for 80% of it i thought.

The actors were all really good. The plot was a bit confusing. The whole alien thing was a bit weird. As were the motives of some of the characters.

Still it ticks all the boxes for a Hollywood blockbuster. If you've already seen Iron Man then go see this. Or watch Iron Man again.
