Trying too Hard
PostedMay 29, 2008

This movie tried a little too hard to reflect the first movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Using some of the same type scenes and characters didn't make me feel like I was watching a new adventure but a badly redone version of the first. I could have also done without the silly CGI prairie dogs. They just seemed to have been thrown in for sake of using CGI. "See what we can do with computers! wow!" They had absolutely nothing to do with the plot nor were they comic relief enough to be worth the money to put them in.
What happens to directors and producers after they make their millions? Do they simply forget how to produce good films? These guys are legends in the industry, and with their success and red tape politics of Hollywood have lost the ability to tell an entertaining story.
On a slightly better note, the movie had a decent idea for a storyline, I just don't think it was executed well. It was somewhat entertaining, but lacked the heart and soul I expected. I'd recommend this movie to a friend only with the understanding that it is best viewed in a theatre. DVD would make it even less inspiring.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
