 Never get tired of wearing this Hey guys welcome to another episode of 10 years later And we are talking about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull the film was released on May 22nd 2008 it was directed by Steven Spielberg with a story written by George Lucas and several others and The screenplay being written by David Koepp and Lisa say 10 years later This movie still kind of blows now admittedly when I went and saw the film I wasn't under the idea that a movie or a sequel 19 years after the previous film wouldn't be a bad thing well Lisa say I was a little bit naive the film in a sense does try to pay homage to the original trilogy even though It didn't even actually have its original DOP Douglas Solacum was the DOP for the three Original Indiana Jones films his last actual ever job as a DOP in fact was the last crusade And in fact it looked like he retired until he died a few years ago So when jenice kanzinsky Presently DOP of Steven Spielberg's project for every single movie He did a lot of great camera work in terms of giving homage to what Douglas did some of the objects and Materials and parts of people that he would focus on were somewhat looking cartoonish But that's exactly what the comics like the old stories in Indiana Jones was inspired by and I like that if anything My favorite part of this movie is how it's shot. There is a lot of that Overshadow this that overly bright light that softening that's on everyone's heads that kind of comes in later in the film But it's not as overly prevalent as it is in current a Steven Spielberg films Harrison Ford is Good ish as indeed. This is a character. He actually really cares about but once the other characters like Shia LeBouf and Marion Wavenwood and Kate Blum shut start coming into the story Especially him and Ravenwood. I don't know why but it just seems that the two don't Really have that connection that they did in the first film I think that Indiana Jones's introduction to Marion Ravenwood in the first film is one of my favorite introductions of a character of all time the silhouette work Everything but in this film. They seem like seniors who are babbling and Trying to make really really not funny senior jokes. I don't know that just doesn't see that they flow Well, John Hurt is just there babbling throughout the entire movie and Ray Weinstone That's a poorly written character if you've ever seen one. He's bad He's terrible. It's like a triple agent or some garbage, but he's literally there to continue the story But for no logical means Shia LeBouf actually in fact is not that bad in this movie. He's not as Absolutely incredibly nauseating as he is now, but in this film. He's actually very subtle He works well with the other actors But apparently there was some conflict between him and Harrison Ford But of course at the time the kid was being heralded as basically being the next Indiana Jones the next Harrison Ford especially with that ending where he picks up the hat And he's almost about to put it on but then Harrison Ford grabs that of his hand and saves the industry the villains The Russian villains are still not that good The entire concept of the aliens is still really far-fetched and all the elements of this movie are in a sense just parts from the previous films and if you're wondering why There's two reasons one of them is written by David co-op And if any of you guys don't know who that is he was the writer of Jurassic Park the lost world Yeah, the really bad one not the really really bad one, but the bad one and guess what? He's apparently writing the fifth one so you can already pretty much say this one's gonna be shit, too On the other side of it Kathleen Kennedy is an executive producer if this film not to say that her Influences of what she's been doing currently with Star Wars movies was as impactful in this film But you can see that she definitely has some aspects into it There's not a much of an agenda as there is now That's kind of being permeated through the Star Wars movies this film is literally just parts from different ones And it's almost as bad as the Force Awakens the Force Awakens literally is a new hope this one is elements of the first film and The last crusade with a little bit of dipping into the temple of doom here and there I definitely say that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still has not aged as well as it has and it's still not as good as Everyone hoped it would be I haven't seen this movie since I saw it in theaters over 10 years ago And I'm probably not gonna ever see it again after this because that sucked anyways guys that's all for me I hope you guys liked this video if you did maybe leave a like if you're interested to subscribe I will have another one coming up next and it's actually a really really bad movie that we'll be talking about in the next episode So until then I'll see you guys next time
