If you havnt seen this movie yet, then do not read this…
I loved that movie, and it seems they cashed in on the 2012 thing. It blew my mind how it endend with the alien, and UFO. I would never excpected it to end that. What did you think about it? It just seems like alot of movie these days are getting into this, and the word, and information is spreading faster in the media. There is suppose to be another movie coming out about 2012 in the near future.
Well, yeah, there were a lot of funny parallels… though I think that’s always sort of been the aim of Indiana Jones movies .
Personally, I wasn’t that impressed by this movie… it was entertaining and I thought it was alright, but at times it just made me feel like it was a last-ditch effort to cash in on the success of the series than a well-thought out movie in its own right. Hollywood’s been doing waaaaay too much of this sequel stuff, in my opinion.
To be honest, I didn’t like the idea of the aliens. The rest was fine, but it’s always been religious artifacts, not aliens. I hated that fact a lot. I love the old movies though.
Quite a few things about that film annoyed me… some of the acting… and I thought the dialogue was pretty poor… but I can overcome those, and just got over the whole alien thing… but the thing that annoyed me most???
That stupid vine swinging scene… seriously… it made me want to throw stuff at the screen. Strange isn’t it… how fast he picked it up… and had no burns at the end??
ALSO. THE MOST ANNOYING PART OF THAT SCENE: You see him stop to look… he’s not swinging, he’s lost all momentum, then suddenly he’s swinging again… laws of physics much?
Most of the time i found that they stayed true to the old concept of the movies and actually covered pretty much the fans could ask for. It had Tombs, Mystical Runes, Evil Russians and old school Indiana Jones jokes.
However like a few already have said, i’m not sure if i liked the involvement of aliens as they certainly doesn’t feel in tune whit the old movies.
It wasn’t bad but not particullary good, just an average action movie suitable when i’m looking for something to take some time.
In regards to doomsayers… I think it’s a really bad idea to be one, because if you’re right, you’re hardly going to have a lot of time to gloat are you?
