Better than Temple of Doom but not the other two eh?
Had it's moments but what a terrible story line, think Lucas and Spielberg were sharing a bit of the old wacky baccy when they wrote that script :(
I saw it tonight too, I liked it, but somehow I felt like some of the story had already been covered in other films like the Mummy Returns.. lots of similarities. Not like the classic Indy movies, but still good entertainment.
Awful film, full of stupid stunts.
The old indy was tounge in cheek stuff, this one was just stupid. The freezer?
Hated it
Ooh, I quite fancied this but after those comments I may give it a miss. I am very hard to please when it comes to films.....;)
H.

Couldn't agree more.
The opening scene with Harrison Ford made him look so old that I was waiting for the nurse to come along with the wheel chair.
Fairly poor all told and not a match on the other 3 IMO:rolleyes:
Not seen it yet but have heard rumblings of discontent that this film is only a tool for introducing a young Indy wannabe so Lucas can keep the franchise going for years to come.
Its not a patch on the other 3 and has a slightly differant feel to it. Bt having said that it was still very enjoyable:)

Oh dear :( will wait to buy the dvd then.
Sounds like it made 10 years too late.
I still think its worth going to see. The story line isnt great but the Indy spirit is there:) And lets face it, the last crusade was fantastic and could never be topped:)

totally agree, so far fetched big fan of the originals but this just spoilt it no fault to the actors they are all good but the story in its self :blink: very dissapointed. and yeh the fridge bit, come on.
I will still go and watch it. Hope it isn't as rubbish as those say
Watched it last night, good but yeah storyline not brilliant. Enjoyed it though.
Speaking of Mummy Returns there was a trailer for a third one!
I'm really excited to see it because I loved the old films so much. I don't want it to ruin them for me though and Harrison is not quite as hot as he used to be.
Without trying to give anything away, if you think of when the film is set its not that bad of a story:)

They are all set around that time anyway aren't they?
This is too cryptic for me...I'm out. :)
Sorry Charlotte, I just dont want to tell you too much if you've not seen it:). The 1st 3 were during the build up of WWII, This is late 50's;)

That's ok - I'm sure I've already seen practically all the good bits on tv advertising - why do they do that these days?

I hate that too. You think you're going t see something special and the trailor isn't a teaser its the best bits and the rest of the film is a let down as a reasult:(
Some of the stunts are a bit over the top but its not a bad film. I really enjoyed it, but because of the what I had heard I dropped my expectations for it and it was no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be.
All in all an enjoyable film but I agree on the story line, I think you need to see it twice to enjoy it so you know whats happening.
I thought Harrison looked very good for 64 years old. :)

Is he really 64? In that case, I take back what I said!

Yep 64 while filming and 65 now. He looked in good shape for his age. :)

This is pretty much what the guy next to me has been saying for the last hour...
