andrewashere-886-187667 This movie really ruined Indiana Jones for me but I hope they make at least one more and I hope it brings the series back to the former glory it deserves. There are many missteps they took with this one that ruined it for me... this is where the spoilers lie FYI....1) escaping a nuclear blast in a fridge? Oh OK 2) the whole alien thing, too over the top and dumb 3) Shia La Beouf? WHY OH WHY??? 4) actions scenes were decent but not up to snuff for an Indy film 5) villains weren't as good as earlier movies 6) no return of Brody, Sallah or Connery characters... though two for very obvious reasons, still miss 'emJust my two cents brothers and sisters.

chirodocchad This movie is for those craving old school filmmaking of the early 90s. If you can accept it as a parody that doesn't seem like it is ACTUALLY trying to be a parody, then this movie is for you. Loved the old Indiana Jones movies. This one is ridiculous in not a good way.

priceturner Many view the film in a negative light, but I don't think it's as bad as they've said. The acting is top notch with Ford, Blanchett, and surprisingly LaBeouf giving there best. This is a Spielberg film so you know the direction is great. The visual effects are dated (even for 2008) and it feels a little off seeing a franchise that was built around practical effects go full CG in some scenes, that said when scenes are done practically they look very nice. You can feel the Later Lucas try and nudge its way in like he did with the prequels, but you can also feel the Classic Spielberg try and protect the beloved franchise. The writing is pretty bad, the addition of inter dimensional beings and some cheesy dialogue don't help. However I've realized this film is a great way to introduce little kids to the Indiana Jones franchise. It doesn't have many dark scenes in the classic trilogy, but that's also where some of the charm is lost. The good thing about Indiana Jones is that it was fun adventure for the family that could be dark at times, not a straight cartoon. In the end the film definitely has its moments, but it's not a classic Indy story.

eliascomics People hated on this movie for for very unconvincing reasons. So don't listen to all the hate reviews and see it for yourself. I loved this movie and thought the topic was very interesting!
