Customer Rating: Summary: Indy Noooooooooo! Comment: Its all about the money. The substance is lost, the trilogy should have stoped at the trilogy. Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad. Only wish I could have given it 0 stars Customer Rating: Summary: Ride value 3 stars, plot value 0 stars Comment: Normally, you have to understand the Spielberg "action" sequences as taking physics and ignoring it but this show was just too much. Having faced the AK-47 in Iraq and read about Spetsnaz I can honestly say that four Spetsnaz with AK-47s firing from less than 20 meters would have killed all in the open car. Period. It went downhill from that point. Tracking devices the size of a lighter. Bad guys teleporting to the next location. Although they got cars from the 1950's I was shocked they didn't have the stars using SAT phones!
Since this was from the left wing "Heil"lywood they had to bring in HUAC and the "black list". UPDATE: 11 JUL 1995 US released a cache of Soviet cables that has been decoded during the Cold War called the Verona Project. Senator McCarthy was right! Alger Hiss WAS a Communist Agent. Hollywood WAS being used but Soviet agents!
Like all good students of Dr. Goebbels, Hollywood will keep perpetuating the lie. "If you tell a lie enough times and with enough passion the people (sheeple) will believe it." Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, 1939. Customer Rating: Summary: Lucas and Spielberg's giant turd Comment: In all seriousness, even with LOWERED EXPECTATIONS (I had heard this movie wasn't very good) the fourth Indiana Jones movie completely underwhelmed me. I kept waiting for a good action scene (Shia Lebuff jousting with a Russian dominatrix on a car does not count) or an interesting plotline or some kind of payoff...NOTHING. This movie is so far removed from the classic first two films (BTW, count me among those who loved Temple of Doom with its breakneck speed, thrills, general creepiness, etc.). Now, I did not have any problem with the extraterrestrial stuff, as there was plenty of supernatural mumbo jumbo in the first three films...however, the "quest" in this movie LED TO NOTHING!!! There was NO PAYOFF!!! I didn't buy Harrison Ford as an action star any more, the characters were dumb, and I was left with a palpable anger towards Spielberg and Lucas for ruining a great franchise. They spent years and years on this script...THIS is what they came up with? Disappointing, to say the least. Customer Rating: Summary: Worthy addition to the Saga Comment: I was 11 years old when "Raiders" came out, so I grew up with Indy. With the release of "Skull" I'm now 38. So I'm starting to understand the plot line in this one that referred sometimes to getting older, a little wiser, and how the world has and is changing around me. So part of the experience of the movie is sentimental with me, as Indy is like an old friend that you feel you're having a reunion with, comparing notes with about how things are different but also somewhat picking up where you left off. Lucas was wise to place the story line 2 decades later, just like the real-life timeline.
The movie has a good mix of that "Saturday Morning Serial" adventure that George Lucas had in mind when he invented Indy along with some thoughtful mystery solving. A little of the action was contrived, mostly with Mutt's action sequences like the sword fight and swinging on the vines with the little monkeys, but all in all it was fine. The story line struck me as not quite as dark as Indy adventures sometimes got. Lucas and Speilberg have admitted in the past as mellowing with age and with raising families, and the story kind of reflects this. I think that if they had to do "Temple of Doom" today, it'd be written a lot "kinder and gentler". Remember the controversy of the release of "ET" with the federal agents with walkie-talkies in their hands instead of firearms?
Harrison Ford was in no danger of being stood up by anyone. In fact the way he first appeared in the movie was almost worth the price of the DVD alone, especially for long-time Indy fans. It made me say, "He's back!"
Get this 2-disc edition. For only 2 or 3 dollars more you are getting excellent supplemental goodies that you'd expect from a well-crafted DVD.
Get it. Customer Rating: Summary: Not The Strongest Movie in the Indiana Jones Franchise Comment: Ugh, not a good movie. I was thoroughly disappointed on the whole with the new Indiana Jones movie and was glad that I only saw it via dvd rental.
Yes, the action was good and non-stop as to be expected, but the storyline wasn't even good. The previous three Indiana Jones movies had a pleasant balance of both action and storyline, but not this one.
Also, the action scenes seemed to be down almost entirely of CG/computer graphics and the CG looked so fake and unreal, which was another let down while watching this movie. I'd have thought with all the technology out there today, that the CG would have been a lot better quality... I guess I thought wrong.
