That is correct. You and the Grail must not pass the sacred seal on the floor. Which is why the German chick caused the ground to open up and swallow her.

Good idea...it's a tad bit late for me

I can see the overuse of CGI just from the commercials...but I wasn't expecting the twist ending that someone blurt out.

JeremyR · 05-27-2008, 11:31 PM

not really a twist ending, the 50s ufo alien vibe is apparent from the beginning.

wrong path for an indiana jones movie to go.

fake ass cgi, did i really need to see an obviously fake gopher in the beginning? no. they had REAL animals in the original films, why not in this? or just not even bother with the animal, that scene was unessecary.

indy in a nuclear blast? COMPLETELY unnessesary. you could of had him hiding in area 51 still and have his army buddies find him there, not stumble out of a fridge.

and aliens. fucking aliens. jeeeezz. now i do personally believe they exist, but in an indiana jones movie, it just doesnt fit, the chemistry is not there. it just doesnt work. and to top it off that they are not from a different planet, but from a space between space, a different dimension? come on george lucas, we all know you got a hardon for aliens and sci fi shit, but keep it out of Indy, please?

character development was lacking, everything seemed rushed. no dialog like in the past movies, or real intense scenes. everything was over the top and unbelieveable. you would not imagine the amount of "yeah rights" i heard for the nuke scene, the waterfall scene, etc.

there was never a sense of peril or eminate danger, no boobie traps, just some blantant rip off running down colapsing stairs, stolen from national treasure.

harrison ford was awesome though, older yes, but still the same indy i grew up with.

i wouldnt say im a huge indy fan, but i do love the original trilogy, and thats how my beliefs will remain, this movie will be excluded.

yeah he's married now has a kid, thats fine. but aliens? no, doesnt belong in an indy film.

Eh, I thought it was perfectly fine, and not out of place at all.

The movies take place 20 years later, in a different time. They are updated with plot and everything both for a new generation of movie goers, and updated for the time period it is in.

It's just as goofy and stupid as the old ones, and if you watch it with no expectations, just to have a good time and laugh at shit and be stoked, this new one does the same thing. I think anyone who thinks differently is thinking waaaaaay to much into them. It's not like the originals were masterpieces of carefully constructed plot and dialouge either.

man, you guys crack me up. you have put the first movies on this gigantic pedestal as if they were the absolute pinnacle of movie-making. actually, the first 3 movies were corny bubble-gum action movies that came out when you were naive kids. yes, they were enjoyable, but they weren't masterpieces. ripping a man's still-beating heart out of his chest? funky translucent chunks of plastic that glow when they get close to each other? opening the ark releases flying silver streaks that melt the faces off of nazis? drinking from a cup causes you to shrivel into dust? remember the scene in the temple of ddom where they are on the bridge over the crocodile infested gorge? from one angle, the gorge is like 1000 feet deep, then from another camera angle, it's maybe 100 feet deep.

When I first saw the ending, I was thinking, what in the world is going on? aliens? but then I realized that it wasn't any more far-fetched then the endings of the other movies. The CGI was far from oppressive. besides the gophers and the very end, what CGI was there? sure the nuclear blast was pretty crazy, but what do you expect from an action flick?
