But it's disappointing hardcore Indiana Jones nerds because it doesn't feel like Indiana Jones. There's no sense of peril.

Is it the worst of the films?

Yeah. I mean, it's not horrible, but it doesn't stack up to the other three as INDIANA JONES films.

Easily.

Of course, I disagree with GoChiefs. I think it was a shitty film, craft wise.

If somebody held a gun to my head and said "You're going to watch a movie. Temple of Doom or Crystal Skull?" I'd vote Crystal Skull without a pause. It wasn't even in the same dimension of suck as that runny turd.

(Dimension, get it?)

He was only talking about the technical aspects of it. Spielberg has always been one of the best, if not the best technical director of all time.

I realize this. I'm telling you that I think it's one of his worst flicks. War of the Worlds is up there too.

There were some good shots but most of the film seemed like he really didn't care and was nothing short of bored.

I liked War of the Worlds. Mainly the Alien Pod attacks.

That first Alien attack sequence is damn near brilliant.

I wouldn't put it close to half his films. Of course, that's a testament to his directing.

Still, it felt and I believe he's said, it wasn't his best work.

I got your message, I couldn't respond because the server was being gay.

I loved it. I'm easily entertained though. lol

There is a LOT wrong with the movie. Don't get me wrong. I liked enough of it to make it worth seeing and probably better than "Temple of Doom" but overall I thought the movie was pretty terrible. If someone wants to explain quickly how to do the spoiler tags, I'll post a more specific review.

Spoiler!

That's my personal favorite as well. The interplay between Ford and Connery is great. And Alison Doody is waaaaaaaaay hotter than Karen Allen.

As for this new one, when I hear people compare it to Temple of Doom, I'm thinking HOLD OUT FOR THE DVD. Temple of Doom sucked balls. I have the three disk set and I might as well throw the middle one out. I'll never watch that steaming turd again.

IMHO... this is worse than Temple. And I watched Temple just a couple of weeks ago. I hate to pile on, because I was pretty certain this would be better, but no... Kingdom is pretty putrid.

I'll talk more on the subject later.
