Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

May 26th, 2008 by COD

My advice: stay home and watch the original Indiana Jones movie again. You’ll have more fun, because if you sit through this movie you may just want to bash your skull against a brick wall. Really, it’s just not very good. The story is a mess. The ending is ridiculous, even by Indiana Jones standards.

    I’m amazed at the wide range of opinions on this film. I thought it was ridiculous too, which is why I loved it. It was just as silly and ludicrous as the other three films. I mean, really, cups of water that heal? Beating hearts ripped out of a man’s chest? Monkey brains for dessert? Heavenly angels that make a man’s head melt?

    My son absolutely loved this latest Indy adventure. This is the stuff that fuels his imagination. For that, I am happy.

    I think it was the intrusion of the spaceships. It’s hard to integrate aliens into a story about ancient culture, and they just failed spectacularly on that count.

    Integrating aliens into the ancient culture was no more difficult for me than the fantasy elements in the previous Indiana Jones movies, but then I got a big kick out of Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Däniken when I was in junior high.

    I was glad to see Karen Allen back.

    We just got back from it and I think it was great. I went into it worried that it would suck and I’d be forever disappointed, so maybe it was that my expectations weren’t through the roof.

    I could have done without the last few minutes though.

    But at least there was no Kate Capshaw!

    Don’t let the Scientologists hear you saying that

    I loved it. Isn’t that where all the pyramids and ancient civilizations came from? Aliens??? : )

    I’m a Indian Jones fan, so I’ll probably see it just to say I saw all four. I’ll wait until it comes out on DVD though :)
