When the movie ended, I then realized just how spellbound I had been throughout the movie. I was finally able to relax and breath. Only one other movie has affected me that way. This was a tremendously exciting movie but very disturbing as well. Kudos to all the actors....they were wonderful. This movie is a Must See.
I laughed so much that I cried through most of the movie! I have seen really funny movies before but this one kept me laughing so hard and so loudly that I was afraid I was going to miss another funny line. Great Cast of Characters all the way around. What a winner!
I'm not sure why anyone would give this movie a mediocre or poor review. Maybe it's the Monday Morning Quarterback Syndrome (I have seen all the other Indiana Jones movies and I know best what this movie should have been). Posh! I go to the cinema to be entertained. And this film was completely entertaining. There were very few throwbacks from previous movies (regardless of what other reviews state - quite frankly I'm not sure what movie some of these people saw) and the few that were used were used very well. There was lots of thrilling adventure, chases, doom-filled experiences to keep you on the edge of your seat. The story line was in keeping with all the rest of the series (discovery of things that are mysterious but part of our mythological culture....afterall, has anyone actually found the Ark?) Go see it. Don't let anyone else decide for you about this movie. I loved it and would go see it again and will definitely be adding it to my collection when it comes out on DVD.
Was not expecting this movie to be as good as it was. Recently most of the "Hero" type movies are fairly predictable, but the acting in this movie really made a difference. Robert Downey Jr. played an impeccable performance. If you haven't seen it, it's worth the time.
