The first 1/2 hour kinda seemed like a sidebar to the actual plot, and once that started rolling, transitions between scenes were so quick, the viewer ended up merely being a spectator that had "facts" and such digested for them. The movie as a whole (and not compared to its predecessors) was quite unremarkable. <em>Dan's last blog post..<a href='http://zomgee.com/2008/05/08/when-youve-run-out-of-music/' rel="nofollow">When you?ve run out of music?</a></em> Yeah… kind of a failsy movie.

Anyway in response to Leah, I can totally understand where you're coming from and that's why I made sure to indicate that why I liked it was because it was a fun movie that brings you back to Indiana Jones, not because it was a great movie. The story definitely fell short and you'd think that after so many rewrites they would have done a bit better of a job. I must disagree with then not understanding it part though. I thought it made as much sense as crazy Indians who rip hearts out and probably as much sense as the Ark of the Covanent sending ghosts out of itself and the chalice of Christ actually exisiting. The difference really is that most people have never heard of these crystal skulls and it makes it a bit harder to relate. They probably would have been better off searching for something biblical again, however, they were trying to play off of a certain type of 50s B movie, and for that I think they hit the right chord. <em>HT's last blog post..<a href='http://zomgee.com/2008/05/22/movie-review-indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull/' rel="nofollow">Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull</a></em> Oh somehow I missed the first part of his comment.

I loved the original indiana jones series, and after being dragged to this movie...i honestly think it's a waste of money to go see it in theaters. Maybe it was just me...but i found the first part of the movie rather confusing as to WHAT they were after. Second....the ending and the what they were after...well, lets just say i think they could have come up with something just a weeeeeee bit better than that. Yes, the action was good, there was still some of the old jokes combined with the joking that indi is older and grey, and I liked the fact they brought back the girl from raiders of the lost ark...but, other than than that, I feel that the ending was very disappointing, and what indi was chasing was, again...disappointing and, well, quite lame, to put it bluntly. finally, one review i read a while back said that the computer technology of today(vs. the old movies and that computer technology) helped screw up the movie...I kinda have to agree with that as well. If it had been done better, then it would have been cool and awsome and deserve all the wows that the old indiana jones do. Perhaps I being a lil harsh on old indi, but still... All in all..this is one movie i could have DEFINATELY waited for to come out on film. I’m afraid I have to disagree with your assessment HT.
