Indy 4 - SPOILERS...

Ummmmmmmmm, it's just a movie!! :rolleyes:

I liked it...:)

Pearls&Stones · May 2008

I just got back and I loved it. I think it was a worthy addition to the Indy franchise. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will probably always be my favorite, but I think all three sequels carried on the Indy legacy very well.

I don't think the "aliens" (the film does allude to them possibly being something else) were any more hokey than the Ark of the Covenant frying all who gazed at its contents, an evil priest using his bare hands to rip out a man's heart (that still beats once removed), or the idea that those who drink from the Holy Grail become immortal.

The Indiana Jones movies are tributes to the fantastic grand serials of the old days. All have narrow escapes, ridiculous fights, creepy critters, and they all deal with mystical aspects of human history that have yet to be proven or unproven.

Great film.

A question, when Indy and Mutt, discover the skull, they fight with two dudes that jumped like apes? who were they? the undead? what were they?? anyone?

seriously?

from the opening scene when they find themselves in the warehouse, in New Mexico mind you, and they open the crate and there's an 'other worldly' carcass that is shown...i thought to myself "it's going to have aliens"

i kept it to myself until half way through the movie when i turned to my wife and said "i just hope they don't show any live aliens OR a spaceship"...yep, that's right.

there was a very uncomfortable feeling in the theatre last night...or was it just me? hoping that my dad didn't reach over and choke me for dragging him and my mom to this "abomination" as my wife called out during the whole vehicle chase scene deep in the jungle....

then came the swinging from the vines with the monkies scene and she just lost it. she couldn't stop laughing...aliens???... i was so happy...i hadn't seen her laugh like that in some time. it brought back memories of us watching Raiders and The Last Crusade 2 days earlier and laughing at the wit and humor and dialogue between the characters. i found nothing funny about this movie, except the fact that it was made.

btw, how did Indys father die? didn't he drink from the Holy Grail?

oh, and way to stick by your earlier statements Steven....or was it George?...about not using too much CGI. there really wasn't a need for all of that, honestly.

i'm thinking that the applause in our theatre wasn't for the fact that Indy and the only woman for him finally get hitched and oh what a great way to close out a series but because the movie was finally over.

ok, maybe it wasn't that bad....but it was frustrating after 3 superb films. i would have never used that word superb before when talking about Temple of Doom but after this film definitely. maybe i'll give it another chance?

i find it funny that people have a problem with aliens but not the supernatural concept of god at all in INDY 1 and 3. and if you fucking knew anything about special effects, you'd realize less than 10% was cgi, lots of mattes and blue screen. what a douche bag

I think they were just natives that were a little less civilized, but a little more in touch with their animal instincts.

Thanks!!, I asked because I heard somewhere in the movie that it was guarded by the undead. But I cant recall what

Picture yourself sitting in a kids movie expecting something that would make an adult think deeply... it's a kids movie!! you're a grown up. I didn't remember the series being as far fetched as this though... I was chuckling at parts such as Indiana landing in a truck then beating up two guys and taking it over. That kinda far fetched...

anyway... Did you buy the Indiana Jones whip too??? only to find it didn't give you one iota of joy or fun because you're an adult? haha

i picked aliens... from the start.. Hangar 51... and the word roswell....

what i didn't get was why those kids were driving like maniacs?! I said to my mate they must have been setting the year.... then up flashed "1957" lol that was all they needed instead of elvis and the other shite heh

i liked the film...

As shitty as you think it was, it is and will be light years better than any National Treasure or Mummy movie that came or will come out..

Ummm... what I think you meant to say was that it was a ripoff of those two movies.. with the scarab beetle ants, and the room full of treasure near the end... definitely did not feel like an Indiana Jones movie.

Pretty weak... should have stayed a trilogy:rolleyes:

Um, the beetles and ants were a rip off of the snakes from Raiders, fucking BEETLES and bugs from Temple of Doom and the Rats from Crusade.. Who's ripping off who???

I'd pay to see a hundred more movies in the same caliber as Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.. definitely worth it. Spielberg did it justice.

Chazz · May 2008

Yep - two words to describe this film would be disappointing and mediocre

surfanddestroy · May 2008

Watched this on the opening night and was so so so disappointed. Far to much CGI and that Jungle chase was an absolute joke.

Of course the first 3 Indy movies are legendary and always had bugs and snakes... but they were always real, and not CGI.
Then the Mummy came out with it's CGI'd scarab beetles.. which while I'm not saying they are the first to put beetles in their movie.. they were unique in the way they came out of the ground and swarmed up on the people running from them.
Then comes Indy 4 with the same fucking CGI'd swarm.. except this time it is ants instead of beetles.. thus Indy 4 ripping off the Mummy.

Without a trace of hyperbole - one of the worst movies I have ever seen. About as good as Phantom Menace. Pure crap.

Come on...it wasn't THAT putrid. More of 'Attack of the Clones' bad.

Well, you couldn't pay me to watch either film ever again. On the plus side, thanks to Crystal Skull, Temple of Doom seems far less crappy by comparison.
