Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[Gin]

So I just got back from seeing the new Indiana Jones movie, and I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed. It had a decent story at best, and completely lacked the feeling of an Indiana Jones movie. Harrison Ford and Shia Lebouf actually did a pretty good job, which I found surprising. Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10. It's a good movie and enjoyable for the majority of the movie, but it is by no means anything like the old Indiana Jones movies.

Do they say whether or not Indiana Jones is a replicant?

From what I've heard, it's easy to relate to Temple of Doom in that there's little or no motive for Indy to actually do what he's doing in an archealogical light.

In Raiders, it was the goddamn ark. In Crusade, it was the grail. In Temple, he was just rescuing some kids and saving a village for no apparent reason other than "glory." As for the crystal skulls, these things are more like actual fairy tales rather than supposed treasures. I've heard there isn't much for emotional reasoning in anything for this one either. He's not saving his dad or a village or trying to stop Nazis.

Of course, I haven't seen it yet...I'm just restating some problems that I've heard others mention.

It's pretty much exactly like that. No real motivation. Also, how have you heard about from others, it doesn't come out till tomorrow.

Well, my mom specifically. She was reading reviews and told me about them.

Mediocre. 

Fuck you, Lucas. Fuck you, Koepp. You two are the fucking Devil.

Was there some scene that took place in the 50's?

they transformed one neighborhood in New Haven (which is really close to me) into some 50's scene for that movie. I went and saw the neghborhood, but nothing was being filmed at that exact time, so I have no idea what scene it;'s supposed to be.

[Andrew1911]

The whole movie is set in the 50s. 

[Sam]

The whole movie is set in the 50s. 

oh >.>

Maybe the whole movie was shot there then.

[sans culottes]

I saw it and I liked it.

[Placebo Headwound]

Saw it today, not that great.

[C.Mongler]

Saw it today and the ending made me go wut

[Nyerp]

Worst movie in the series, lacked the Indy charm, and I hope they never make another one again.

But I enjoyed it a little I guess.

Maybe the whole movie was shot there then.

no, idiot
