    And that's another thing I forgot to mention. Indy and Sean Connery are supposed to be immortal because they drank from the cup of the J man in the Last Crusade. I'm not sure what happened to that concept in this most recent one.

    Turns out is was just the Placebo effect.

    haven't seen Indy IV but as for the Star Wars talk....

    Attack of the Clones was decent
    Ep. III -what the hell is it even called?- was okay but i only saw it once so i really can't compare it to the others. Phantom sucked ball sweat.

    V
    IV
    VI (for the dogfight scenes alone... oh and the whole Jabba thing was cool)
    II
    III
    I

    The end was kinda lame. The scene where they're fighting in the jungle was lame

    other than that, it was an alright movie

    I love me an indy hat though
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    I dl'ed it and watched it once. Prolly never again.

    It had a few decent moments but nothing to write home about
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

    I was disappointed. The CG animation is terrible.

    It was ok. The big problem it had was it lacked a sense of danger. Never at any point did you feel the main characters were in real danger. Never did you, the viewer, get nervous. It didn't build up. Everything that was supposed to be dangerous was minor and goofy.

    For instance, in Raiders when the Nazis catch Marian.

    In Doom when Indy gets brainwashed.

    In Crusade when Indy's father gets shot.

    Never at any point during Crystal Skull did I grip my chair and think "oh shit" for the characters.

    lol. reading this thread made me laugh out loud. :D

    except for the Star Wars bits! what are you doing, trying to hijack my thread, eh? eh?!

    ;)

    so yeah, I watched the movie last night. like said, it was ok. entertaining..

    the stuff at the cafe and the motorcycle chase were cool. I sort of liked the hiding in the fridge thing too, though it was pretty ridiculous. :D

    but the [spoilers!!] vine-swinging, the driving a car to a tree, the aliens.. no wait! interdimensional beings. :rolleyes:

    I don't regret watching it, sure kicks High School Musical's arse! haha.

    eMMI.. if you love Indy so much that you want to wear a wool hat to work:D, then you are going to be disappointed! People who like this movie (eg. my mom and my little sister) are generally not the biggest fans of Indy and didn't have any expectations going into it.

    wearing the hat at the time isn't voluntary. :o

    If you are like me, and loved the first three movies, then you will wonder why they even made this movie... obviously for the money.:rolleyes: There's no emotion in most of the scenes, and the cgi takes away from the movie instead of adding to it.

    It's worth watching, just because it is an Indy film... but don't expect it to be that good.:p

    I didn't have much expectations and that did pay off. :D

    That was just for the powers of the cup. That's why the place started falling apart right after the evil Nazi woman tried to bring the cup past the seal.

    Surely you just watched it for free, no? :p There's gotta be some perks to your job. Y'know: to balance out the cobweb/wooly hat combinations. :D

    The Knight never drank from the cup. He was kept alive by God for the purpose of standing guard.

    Big letdown for me. I know Indiana Jones is supposed to be over the top but this one was ridiculous. Jumping a vehicle off a cliff and landing it on a tree to be lowered into the river?

    In Temple of Doom Indy, Short Round and Wille Jump out of a plane and use an inflatable raft in place of a parachute. Then they use that same raft as a sled, to sled down the Himalays. How is that any less over the top then a vehicle going off a cliff?
