I woke this morning after seeing the latest Indiana Jones movie and all I could think about was when Sean Connery took that ill advised late turn as Bond in never say never again.
The movie was good, the formula was in place and Steve and George pushed all the buttons. Anyone who didn't see the plot line comming a mile away however needs to get their glasses fixed. It was predictable, silly adventure fun but isn't that the point?
My 5 year old daughter was scared a little bit by some of the fight scenes and watching a now older Harrison ford take body shots as his own stunt double left me cringing a bit but in empathy this time sincerely.
Overall I think anyone who knows the series will go and enjoy it. Does it have a message? No. Does it solve a riddle No? Does it make you forget about the world for awhile and provide you with good escapisim entertainment Yes, and I think we can all agree with gas at 4.00 thats not a bad thing...
I have two kids ages 5 and 11. Both liked it. I remembered the Cartoon from the 60's .My daughter the younger said she didn't want to see it but the movie won her over. This movie is a thrill ride for the Play station set that thrive on ongoing action. It's not a deep Matrix piece at all. It's good mindless entertainment and lots of it. 2+ hours worth. Kids 5-11 will enjoy it.
