You're right, Spoony - Indiana Jones started out as a hero and should remain a hero. He should be getting into epic battles in the big, wide world - not some sound stage in England (or wherever). The villains should be epic. His love life should make f-ing men ENVY his ... well, envy him. I'm keeping it clean here :)
I liked the movie. I had been watching the movies since I was 9 I was 14 when I saw the movie, I left the pictures not disappointed. I mean sure you can't survive a nuke in a fridge, but you also can't survive going over a cliff in a tank or jumping out of a plane in a raft it's just a movie. Me, I had no problem with the aliens apart from them being CGI. For more watch Cinemassacre's Top Ten Sequels that aren't as bad as everyone says.
Um...probably because it probably WAS all shot in front of a green screen. Lucas RADICALLY changed his methods of filming for SW2&3, why would he go back to the fundamentals for Indy 4?
just because he has become a hack filmmaker who won't acknowlage that old filming techniques still have their place doesn't mean we don't wish he'd stop.
Wow. It's TEMPLE OF DOOM all over again. Has everyone forgotten how that film was originally received when in theaters and for many years afterwards? (or are people being blissfully ignorant of it)
i guess everyone in the cinemas at the time were just appreciating the fact they were there to see an Indiana Jones movie at the time, yeah maybe that was the only good feeling about this movie, even though it is kinda cheap :\
Wow...that guy below cpsfn really loves to comment...anyway thank you spoony! You have won me over with your sprited defence of temple of doom. I too am tired of people dissing it when it kicks ass! Personally I liked short round. I suppose its because he does go on a bit, but he does help indie and we do feel a bond between them. Yeah Kate Capshaw can be annoying, but then her character is a prissy singer thrown in the jungle! She would be bound to moan! Anway, temple rocks!
I have yet to find a single Indiana Jones fan or casual movie-goer that is indifferent about this film. Nobody loved Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; people either liked it or they hated it. After listening to the reviews and hearing public opinion I can see both sides, but ultimately I have to choose one.
The curiosity over how I felt about this film has been so intense I have almost shied away from expressing how I feel about it at all, after all no matter what I say I'm bound to alienate half the Indiana Jones fan base. But then, controversy has never stopped me before, so here - once and for all - is where I stand on the film… I'm with the people that liked it on this one. I thought it was good.
Merely the first twenty minutes in I was surprised both by how early and how often I was laughing and enjoying my self. The pace of the film was excellent except for a few places, and the story was at least interesting enough to keep you in the seat. I was also astonished by how closely this film followed the Indiana Jones format. Unlike the dreaded Star Wars prequels this is an addition to a franchise that does not feel like it's on an island all by it's self; it was unmistakably Indie.
The chief complaints I've heard about this film have to do with the outlandishness of a lot of the scenes, and of the films theme. But try as I may (with one vine swinging exception) I was unable to locate a single scene in the film that was anymore outlandish or ludicrous than any other Indiana Jones film ever made.
The theme of course has to do with the aliens. I would worry that that was a spoiler if I thought there was a single person left in the world that wasn't aware there were aliens in this film (apologies if you are it).
The alien motif had me worried as much as anyone else, and for a while I really wondered if this would not be to the films detriment. But as I sat there watching this play out I asked my self "Is this really anymore hard to swallow than a load of Ghosts flying out of the arc of the covenant?". Ultimately, my answer was no.
There was also some concern over Shia LaBeouf 's performance. LaBeouf has been another Jason Biggs (of American Pie fame) for me. Biggs irritated me in every type-casted role he had ever been in, and it wasn't until I saw him in something more serious that I actually found him to be good. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was worlds away from serious, but LeBouf plays a much more serious role, and he wears it well; much better than Transformers at least.
The film was certainly not perfect, but unlike most I did not think the problems were in the silly set ups and 'get out of jail free' solutions to perilous situations.
If this film has a serious problem it was probably the story. It's just plain hard to keep track of most of the time. There is a tremendous amount of exposition and if you aren't paying attention it's really easy to get lost. Particularly when it comes to a crucial plot point about someone taking the skull, bringing it somewhere, failing to unlock a puzzle, and taking it right back again.
Another interesting fact about this film, in fact what may have been too big a hurtle in the eyes of some, is that the 'deal breaker' scene comes very early in the film, and to protect those who have not yet seen the film, this deal breaker comes in the form of a refrigerator. As soon as this scene was over I said to my self "this is the point of no return. If the audience cannot accept this, they won't be able to accept anything else in the film".
I did accept it, and once I sat back and said "whatever" (Indiana Jones films typically require extra suspension of disbelief) I had a great time at the movies. The Indiana Jones franchise has never been about the stories; not really. Indiana Jones has always been about having as much fun as you can in a movie, and I have to say this movie was a lot of fun.
When I came out of the theater I said that it was at least better than Temple of Doom. I'm goanna go ahead and take that back only because I feel that Crystal Skull was really just a revisiting of the franchise rather than an addition to it.
It was a reunion film which is weird for me to say because I generally feel that no franchise should ever do this; no franchise should ever get the cast back together for the sake of a reunion. But Crystal Skull is a very rare exception in my view; it really does work on that level.
This film is hardly a classic, and will never grasp the adoration of the public the way the original trilogy did, and rightfully so, it's not in that league. But taken as a fun time at the movies as well as one of our favorite Icons coming back for one last adventure, Crystal Skull is a success in my book. To those who hated it, I sympathize with a lot of the criticisms, but I liked the film. It inspires no standing ovations, it breaks no new ground, but it was a hell of a lot of fun.
Ouch, I thought the movie was OK. The hiding in a fridge was BS tho. I wish it could be tested on Mythbusters somehow. Wouldn't know how to get around the whole needing a nuke thing tho. XP Scale models? :?
@QuikDJ He's so angry that he has to eat chocolate ice cream, which believe it or not actually calms you down if your blood is being brought to boiling point.
@QuikDJ You've never lost your nerve to the point where you've contemplated hitting somebody, have you? The ice cream calms him down. Try focusing on the horrible movie he's reviewing and not the fact that he's eating food while he's talking about it.
I mea, seriously... Communists? Nazis DID have institutions in search of rare artifacts. The USSR weren't that interesting. If the Soviets are evil, isn't Indiana Jones just as evil if they work for the US?
I mean, I can come up with something in Francoist Spain in the 50's. They're Fascist, so they're kind of the same to the Nazis.
The main part of this movie I remember is the angry face the alien makes at the end. My friend found it hilarious and I try to make the face to make him laugh.
Spoonman always knows how to put things in their place. I wonder what the 4th movie would have been like if it had been based on the story of 'The Infernal Machine' (which also involved Soviets). The reason the alien stares her down is because she's a filthy communist whore and that's also why it melts her brain. It probably psychically knew about the experiments her "comrades" did to its bretheren. The USSR had all kinds of underground labs where they did stuff like that.
The skull Indy found in Peru was the one they needed, the alien at the beginning in the top men warehouse crash landed, starting the whole search for the aliens crap, the one in the Russian's camp is the same one thawed out. So 2 skulls, but the one Indy found was the one they needed.
"Magnetic crystal" I must have been sick the day they mentioned that. So magnetic, that it attracts gold and other things not made of iron! Insert Insane Clown Posse joke. We know, also, they nailed up and padlocked the Ark with iron nails and an iron lock!
IMO, Temple of Doom is the best of all the Indy Films, it looks the best, has the best comedy, action and suspense, its the most entertaining, period!
The main problem w the movie wasn't the movie itself, necessarily; but, that people's expectations were at a level such that I'm pretty sure nothing would make someone like this reviewer happy.
@CocamoJoe not only that, but a lot of fans were kids when the others came out. I never saw indi as a kid, and i don't really think they are THAT good. it's just beacause i don't have that thrilling memory from childhood that indiana was the dude.
@iheartnes I thought it was alright. The only thing that bugged me was the CGI the first time I saw it. And I don't like Shia LeBouf's voice. I nitpick the hell out of it now, but I'm just a bastard. Then again, I thought Temple of Doom was the best one so I must be fucking crazy.
@Sabohaque I thought Temple of Doom was the best too because of all the action scenes. Then as I got older I sat and watched all 3 of them in a row one weekend and now Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite. WAY ahead of it's time. Shia LeBouf did get a little annoying at times. Watch The Nerd's "Top 10 Sequels that aren't as bad as everyone says". He mentions this movie and brought up some great points. That is exactly how I felt.
@Sabohaque Not necessarily; Temple of Doom may not have been the best of the series, but it was still entertaining (which is more than I can say for Kingdom of the Empty Skulls).
Temple of Doom was great. But Capshaw did ruin the first half. I honestly think if you remove her annoying parts or replace it with clips of your girlfriend playing the part. It would be a shit load better.
even james rolfe who likes indiana jones,said the movie was good,not bitch about little things like the aliens and the scape with the frezzer(like indy never survived any implosable way)...
@igorfranklin83 Lol, so what does that mean from your perspective, that if Spoony likes the film he can go on forever about how awesome it is, but if he doesn't he shouldn't make any comment whatsoever. You seem an awful lot like the type of person who calls others 'fanboys' just because they have a massive hatred for something you like. Just because he hates something a lot doesn't make him a fanboy. Also, "little things like the aliens" They were the central plot twist, hows that little?!
1. I felt the ending was like a prank from George Lucas and Stephan Spielburg playing on the audience
2. When I read about Crystal Skull, I was hyped because it said they would be wouldn't be using CGI and actually going back to live stunt actions. Well after the movie I re read it and thanks to my lysdexia it said they wouldn't be using AS MUCH CGI.........
@kanyehater99: If you ever watched doctor who, you would see that captain jack ages yet never dies, so in 3 million years he becomes a giant living ugly face.
In my honest opinion all the indie movies are boring. Mr. jones is just a smart duke nukem and the 2nd half of all the movies devolve into nonsensical beat-em-ups. But I gotta say, aliens and other dimensions is really jumping the shark, and the crystal skulls IRL are less than half the size of those mammoth alien skulls in the movie and they actually look human.
The janitor from scrubs was the high point of the movie. It wasn't BAD but it wasn't GOOD either. Anything humorous in it was the only parts that I enjoyed. aside from the giant ant part.
@bamapagedesign I'm not bashing James Rolfe at all, I love his work, but in my opinion, he's is a lot softer on films than critics like Spoony or the Nostalgia Critic. He doesn't get angry about them as much and when he doesn't like a movie, he never gets angry. Ironic, since he's best known for being the AVGN, lol.
I agree, distirbia was a great movie, although it was ripping off of rear window, it put a modern twist on a Hitchcock classic, and was pretty darn enjoyable, I will never look the same at my next door neighbors...
Disturbia is indeed a Rear Window knock-off... but I still love it. I did see it first, though, so it didn't matter to me that it wasn't original (yeah, I know, blasphemy -- but I don't deny the genius of Rear Window, now that I have seen it).
Fun fact: Shia Lebuff"s name roughly translates out to Than god for the beef. because LeBouf is french for the beef and shia translates out to thank god in some langouage, so thank god for the beef
This movie is fucking horrible, but you know whats funny? I saw the movie on the last day of filming and there were two 6-7 year olds in front of me. After the atomic bomb scene they were talking about how impossible it would be to survive.
What im saying is it didn't even make sense to little kids!
Temple of Doom certainly is the worst out of the original trilogy, but with Indiana Jones films being such high quality, that only means it's a "Good" rather than "Awesome" film.
However, while Crystal Skull has lots of silly, even outright ridiculous moments, I'd rather have those than the unfunny, corny jokes of Temple of Doom, which only gets interesting like after an entire hour. That sole fact places Crystal Skull just slightly above ToD for me, even if Aliens fucked up the entire series.
The thing about actors like Jonathon Rhys-Davies appearing in Uwe Boll flicks is that Boll, for all his shortcomings, is actually a genius producer. Hollywood films are cumbersome beasts that often go to shoot a year and a half after actors have been asked to appear, often ending up conflicting with a different shoot and losing said actors. It's entirely possible Rhys-Davies was attached at some point.
Boll only shows up with cash in hand when he's ready to shoot. That's how he does gets them.
I am not sure where I heard this, but doing the writing process of the crystal skull, Lucas would often veto some of Spielberg's ideas while fighting fiercely (e.i. pulling the "IAMMA THE GR8 GENIOS BEHIND STARWARS & U DO AS I SAY NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!" card) for keeping his own in. Which I guess explains a lot.
I think that this movie isnt very good, but it is not as bad as everybodys saying. I now its silly that he survives a nukeblast, but thats indiana jones. In previous Indiana jones movies he has survived just as unbelievable things. Like falling from a cliff on top of a tank, i mean cmon. Indiana Jones is a fantasy story and un explaneble things atend to happen. Dont be such a movie snobs.
You're right, Spoony - Indiana Jones started out as a hero and should remain a hero. He should be getting into epic battles in the big, wide world - not some sound stage in England (or wherever). The villains should be epic. His love life should make f-ing men ENVY his ... well, envy him. I'm keeping it clean here :)

Am I the only one who thought Indiana Jones 4 was alright? Not like Raiders, but still an ok movie? It wasn't perfect but still enjoyable.
iheartnes 1 year ago
@iheartnes I thought it was alright. The only thing that bugged me was the CGI the first time I saw it. And I don't like Shia LeBouf's voice. I nitpick the hell out of it now, but I'm just a bastard. Then again, I thought Temple of Doom was the best one so I must be fucking crazy.
Sabohaque 1 year ago
@Sabohaque I thought Temple of Doom was the best too because of all the action scenes. Then as I got older I sat and watched all 3 of them in a row one weekend and now Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite. WAY ahead of it's time. Shia LeBouf did get a little annoying at times. Watch The Nerd's "Top 10 Sequels that aren't as bad as everyone says". He mentions this movie and brought up some great points. That is exactly how I felt.

@Sabohaque Not necessarily; Temple of Doom may not have been the best of the series, but it was still entertaining (which is more than I can say for Kingdom of the Empty Skulls).

Temple of Doom was great. But Capshaw did ruin the first half. I honestly think if you remove her annoying parts or replace it with clips of your girlfriend playing the part. It would be a shit load better.

igorfranklin83 1 year ago
@igorfranklin83 Lol, so what does that mean from your perspective, that if Spoony likes the film he can go on forever about how awesome it is, but if he doesn't he shouldn't make any comment whatsoever. You seem an awful lot like the type of person who calls others 'fanboys' just because they have a massive hatred for something you like. Just because he hates something a lot doesn't make him a fanboy. Also, "little things like the aliens" They were the central plot twist, hows that little?!

2. When I read about Crystal Skull, I was hyped because it said they would be wouldn't be using CGI and actually going back to live stunt actions. Well after the movie I re read it and thanks to my lysdexia it said they wouldn't be using AS MUCH CGI.........

In my honest opinion all the indie movies are boring. Mr. jones is just a smart duke nukem and the 2nd half of all the movies devolve into nonsensical beat-em-ups. But I gotta say, aliens and other dimensions is really jumping the shark, and the crystal skulls IRL are less than half the size of those mammoth alien skulls in the movie and they actually look human.
VikingBoyBilly 1 year ago
The janitor from scrubs was the high point of the movie. It wasn't BAD but it wasn't GOOD either. Anything humorous in it was the only parts that I enjoyed. aside from the giant ant part.

You know that the fifth and final Indy movie is in pre-production, right? It's about Genghis Khan. Seriously.
And I didn't mind Crystal Skull. Neither did James Rolfe.
bamapagedesign 1 year ago
@bamapagedesign I'm not bashing James Rolfe at all, I love his work, but in my opinion, he's is a lot softer on films than critics like Spoony or the Nostalgia Critic. He doesn't get angry about them as much and when he doesn't like a movie, he never gets angry. Ironic, since he's best known for being the AVGN, lol.

I agree, distirbia was a great movie, although it was ripping off of rear window, it put a modern twist on a Hitchcock classic, and was pretty darn enjoyable, I will never look the same at my next door neighbors...
Querty1995 1 year ago
Disturbia is indeed a Rear Window knock-off... but I still love it. I did see it first, though, so it didn't matter to me that it wasn't original (yeah, I know, blasphemy -- but I don't deny the genius of Rear Window, now that I have seen it).

Temple of Doom certainly is the worst out of the original trilogy, but with Indiana Jones films being such high quality, that only means it's a "Good" rather than "Awesome" film.
However, while Crystal Skull has lots of silly, even outright ridiculous moments, I'd rather have those than the unfunny, corny jokes of Temple of Doom, which only gets interesting like after an entire hour. That sole fact places Crystal Skull just slightly above ToD for me, even if Aliens fucked up the entire series.

The thing about actors like Jonathon Rhys-Davies appearing in Uwe Boll flicks is that Boll, for all his shortcomings, is actually a genius producer. Hollywood films are cumbersome beasts that often go to shoot a year and a half after actors have been asked to appear, often ending up conflicting with a different shoot and losing said actors. It's entirely possible Rhys-Davies was attached at some point.
Boll only shows up with cash in hand when he's ready to shoot. That's how he does gets them.
VanceHill 1 year ago
@VanceHill I guess those actors also have no idea who Boll is. If I were a big-name actor, I'd run a mile from Uwe Boll.

@Kousaburo Actually, his reputation is driving people to him. Dave Foley read up on Boll and decided he had to work with the guy.

I am not sure where I heard this, but doing the writing process of the crystal skull, Lucas would often veto some of Spielberg's ideas while fighting fiercely (e.i. pulling the "IAMMA THE GR8 GENIOS BEHIND STARWARS & U DO AS I SAY NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!" card) for keeping his own in. Which I guess explains a lot.

I think that this movie isnt very good, but it is not as bad as everybodys saying. I now its silly that he survives a nukeblast, but thats indiana jones. In previous Indiana jones movies he has survived just as unbelievable things. Like falling from a cliff on top of a tank, i mean cmon. Indiana Jones is a fantasy story and un explaneble things atend to happen. Dont be such a movie snobs.
