Benjamin W. @Code70 2d A very entertaining- albeit very flawed- late Indie entry. This is one of those movies, kinda like Spider-Man 3, where you recognize how flawed the film is, and just how many issues it has, yet at the same time, it’s still very entertaining, and quite memorable in its own way. And honestly, besides the obvious things that are right in your face (Shia Labeouf swinging with the monkeys, the atomic bomb sequence, the bad cg aliens), I think it’s a film that holds up better than a lot of people give it credit for. Steven Spielberg is a great director, and he is able to create thrilling, exciting sequences in their own right, no matter how cg-ridden it may be. Now of course it doesn’t come close to living up to any of the first three, and is a lot more flawed than any one of them. There’s a strong argument to be made that it shouldn’t exist, for sure. But I think the fact that it does isn’t the worst thing in the world. So yeah, very mixed on this one. It’s okay.

The story was predictable, trite, and overall a tremendous letdown. I do not understand how so many critics gave it a favorable review. See more Dallas H @FozzieMcFly Feb 2 It still feels disjointed to see the shift from watching Indy chase after Earth-based religious artifacts inspired by supernatural beings to a different one inspired by space aliens. There was the Ark of the Covenant, then a mystical gem used for black magic, a cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper, and a crystallized carving shaped like an alien skull. It just seems so out of place and unusual. See more Lariste L @RT70611960 Jan 26 I blame David Koepp, who wrote one huge blockbuster and a dozen or more utterly junk films. The other issue at hand is the film replaces the imitation "classic Hollywood" style of the first film with cartoonish, oddly timed computer animation effects. Many liked the third film, apparently the highest grossing film of it's year? I couldn't remember it. Maybe I should go back? Seems like Indiana Jones films are essentially set piece films with basic characters and a traditional sense of fun and adventure, but this movie really doesn't make much sense. Aliens and stuff? "Harmless" atomic bomb testing?? This isn't a love letter to old adventure tales, it's comic book material, and not a particularly good iteration. See more Read all reviews
