***OOPS - He catches himself the second time around, but Rian does slip once while ranting and refer to Indiana Jones as James Bond for some reason.
Just to clarify... when I said I needed to see it again, it's because I felt like the excitement of seeing Indiana Jones on the big screen may have artificially enhanced my enjoyment of the movie, and I want to see it again to see if it holds up a second time.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the first time I saw it, I thought it was great. As good as the first three? Nowhere near, but it was still entertaining and I was with it the entire time. The stuff everyone has a problem with was hard for me to watch too... the final ten or twenty minutes in particular, and Shia swinging from the trees was probably the worst thing in the movie for me, but I still had a good time and I would watch it again.
I agree with Rian about Randy, I also agree with Jesse on Simon. Now about Indy Jones movie. It was great. Plenty of action, good story, and great idea with the aliens. Rian as much as you love the alien themes in everything else I can't believe you didn't like this story line. Great movie and I'm sure they will do another.
ReplyDeleteScott:
ReplyDeleteWhat you're saying about the excitement of seeing another Indiana Jones movie is the same thing I was getting at when I mentioned that I think a few years down the road a lot of people who liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are going to begin realizing that it's not as good as they first thought. Once it's not the new, exciting event that it is now, I'm not sure how well it's going to fare.
kmiller:
I didn't like the aliens in Indiana Jones because they fit that film thematically just about as well as a magical ark that melts peoples' faces would have fit in the movie Aliens. Indy and aliens just don't fit together. There are some sci-fi elements throughout the Indiana Jones series for sure, but big creepy monsters from another dimension? Blah.
