Stop making generalizations about me.

I thought the storyline had great potential. I had very little problem with the concept of the aliens. I felt like the storyline was executed poorly due to problems with the pacing that you seem not to perceive because you went in wanting to fanboy all over it, while I had no expectations for it whatsoever. Just like when I watched the first three.

You're making it seem like I was the only one with these issues and blaming me directly for not wanting to enjoy the film. Other mainstream critics and bloggers and fans alike have had the same complaints I have.

And to the man who assumes I have a short attention span because I thought Spielberg was bored to death while directing the scenes of exposition that weren't enthralling or borderline interesting, you couldn't be more wrong.

I was pretty disappointed in Indianapolis Jones

dude, the problems with the pacing do not exist outside of personal problems, at least not compared to the other 3. I'm not a fanboy about it. I'm a Indiana Jones fan but I'm not a die hard. If it sucked I'd be the first to admit it, but it's just more Indy

I'm not trying to fight you. But it's literally the same shit as Raiders of the Lost Ark in terms of exposition and pacing

I agree others have had the same complaints, but many others have also embraced it. The majority of negative reviews come from angry militant movie buffs blogging away, or online movienews columnists.

People like Roger Ebert, who I have more respect for than any critic ever, gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars. I'm in the same boat as that guy when it comes to how the film delivers, including pacing

I've decided to not see it because I'm cheap and also because most reviews and words I've heard state it sucked.

thought you guys should know.

I guarantee if you watch it now, you will probably like it because everyone is telling you it is shit.

Saw it yesterday and thought it was ok. Some bits felt a bit unnecessary but it was a highly enjoyable film. Was entertained, laughed a lot, enjoyed all the nods to the originals.

Just wish there were Nazi's in the film, that's why Temple of Doom wasn't as good.

And I'm telling you that it's not the same. The energy the scenes are cut with and the way they are laid out in the dialogue change a scene drastically, even if the format is the same.

This movie is a disgrace and makes me want to kill George Lucas. Fuck Indy 4, and fuck all you chumps who liked it.

It didn't totally suck - it just wasn't very good.


That's the last time I break my 2 movie rules.

Meh, it was okay. Better than Iron Man, which I saw a couple of weeks ago.

Main problem for me was the Aliens, not that they were there, but that they were SO comically martian, I know it was supposed to link into Roswell and shit and that kinda meant they couldn't come up with something hugely different to those old photos, but really it was way cartoonish.

The skull looked like a plastic thing filled with crumbled up Syran Wrap.

What? People are nitpicking the fuck out of this movie. I just saw it yesterday and it was very enjoyable. My only complaint in the entire thing would be the ridiculous monkeys. Other than that, it was a great action/adventure flick.

totally agree. I thought they would make it like more crystal and have some weight to it. It looked like it weighed about an ounce and looked nothing like a crystal.

Poor design

Thing is the people who complain about the aliens clearly don't remember that minor detail in the Last Crusade about a small wooden cup bringing Eternal Life

I think most people's complaint with the aliens is the aliens were so upfront and on screen, whereas in the other 3 movies, the mystical forces behind the artifacts were unseen, thus giving them a touch more mystery.

While I didnt mind the alien idea, that was my problem with it.
