Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Wow. The fact that we even got another Indy movie is a blessing in itself, and I cant hate on Lucas and Speilburg for delivering that.
However, what i can hate on is how much they messed up. CGI Prairie dogs in not 1, but at least 3 scenes, Shia swinging from vines like Tarzan and little cute CGI monkeys attacking the Russians like Ewoks attacking stormtroopers, the CGI final act that really didnt make any sense.....to say the least, there are definite mis steps. i blame lucas for that junk.
BUT....there is enough here to smile. Indy and Mutt interact well, and I would have rathered a father son journey, but we got a 5some to watch stumble around. Indy was never alone to do some INDY stuff, but i digress.
The chase scenes were very cool, when there were set pieces it worked great and you got that old indy feeling. I smiled to myself more than a few times. the movie works about 75% of the time, which is better than most action movies today. just dont make the next one so darn cute! and let Indy have his own movie, will ya??
oh and Im giving it 5 stars because well... ITS INDY! I cant ever hate on Indy.
