Yeah, and it pulls off a lot better while still being plenty fresh.
Venice, Germany and the opening scene of Indy's childhood were all excellent new setpieces. And the climax was ****ing genius. The plot was actually SMART and ENGAGING (see the scene in the library), not "Professor Indy solves everything within five seconds and brings commies along for the ride." [Reply]

Agreed. While i have a few issues with that movie, its still worlds better than this last flick. BTW, whatever happened to the dude who wrote Last Crusade Jeffrey Boam? Dude writes two great scripts for two great sequels that summer (Lethal Weapon 2) then disappears?? WTF?? [Reply]

Yeah I was actually watching parts of it the other day (in glorious 1080p - I need to see it on a giant HDTV one of these days, my 24" widescreen monitor is nice but doesn't compare). There are a few problems with the tank scene. The bit where Indy whips his father's leg to save him from being crushed by the tank is executed poorly. Vogel could have taken Indy's legs out at anytime while he's standing there holding the whip. And when Sallah rides up and tips his cap to Sean Connery and says "Father of Indy! Give me your hand!" it comes off as a little goofy.
But at least Indy wasn't getting racked in the balls. [Reply]

You now another problem with Crystal Skull was, that i didnt care about any of the Indy side characters.
I didnt care about Prof. Oxley and Mac, because i had nothing vested in them and had never heard of or seen them before.
Yes, Brody is dead, but where was Sallah?? Where was Indys dad??
I actually think the Oxley character was a rewrite of Indy's Dad when Connery wouldnt do the movie to be honest. [Reply]
a big so what.....Aliens that fly away! ooooooh! how scary! and pointless!
the best actors in that pile of feces were the mannequins that got destroyed by a nuke....

Id rather slip in the old DVD's of the old trilogy and watch those. My kids love them. [Reply]
