I am an avid fan of Ben Stiller, as an actor and director. However, I can't really support Ben on this one. I admit there were a couple of LOL moments, but for the most part, the comedy was forced, gratuitous, and over the top lewd. Ben is too talented to sell out to these types of antics. I really wanted this one to work, and thought it really could have. The concept, the talent, the backing, etc. was all there. Even still, I am very excited at the prospoects of Ben's next film; whatever, whenever that may be. Keep them coming Ben!!
Sorry Indy, but not this time. As an avid Indy fan, I was very excited at the prospects of "...Crsytal Skull". Unfortunately, it fell short. While it was great to see old friends, hear familiar lines, and see some entertaining stunts the plot and characters seemed tired and a bit contrived. Though a bit much at times, I must admit that the creativity behind the set designs and functionality of the temples, etc. were quite impressive. Overall, I would say that "....Crystal Skull" makes for a great rental on a stay-at-home movie night, but not worth the price at the box office.
