Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull

Took the family to see the new Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull movie (minus Alex…too young…glad we did).  I’ve read very mixed reviews on this movie…from it is the greatest movie of all times to complete bore!  We liked it.  Of course it is the genre of Indiana Jones movies which has a lot of goofiness in it (trying not to spoil anything…but…e.g., refrigerator, swinging in trees like a monkey, the unbelievable bad aim of enemy fire, no debris hits them at clearly dangerous scenes, etc.), but that is what makes a great Indiana Jones movie!

Anyone else see it?  And if so, what did you think?

  1. Saw it last night. I thought it was great. It was fun, exciting, and funny. It was very much in the vain of the original three. But that is why some people didn’t like it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

  2. Ed went to see it yest. and LOVED it.

  3. Saw it opening night. Some pretty good scenes, but some scenes were way too hard to swallow. Two out of four stars.

    By the way, Sam, I plan to be in S.B. in September.
    Can you send me your email address?

  4. I liked it, but it was a little weird. But I’m glad now that I know that the Ark of the Covenant is hidden in Area 51. I’ve been wondering about that for 15 years. But I liked that they tied the whole Marian/Indy thing together, finally!

  5. I am Isaac. And I would like to say that I thought it was……….EXCELLENT!!!!

  6. It lived up to the Indiana Jones franchise. It was obvious that Lucas and Spielberg made it. Didn’t like a couple things in it, but I can also say the same about the other 3. Not sure if I prefer the ditzy blonde females or the angry greedy females to play opposite Indy, but it seemed to work. The angry woman reminded me of the angry woman from Die Hard with a Vengeance.

    Here’s some movie trivia: The bad girl in DH3, the one who couldn’t/didn’t talk, was what former 80s Contemporary Christian singer? Don’t Google it, try to figure it out.

  7. lorinda was right . i did enjoy Indy 4 , but i still think that the first one is the best .
