Twilight should fade into the sunset

The movie was poorly shot and badly-directed. It was like a cut-and-paste version of the book with far too many slow-motion moments to show off badly-conceived and poorly-executed special "effects." None of the characters were believable, except for the father, played by Billy Burke.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Close Encounters of a Weird Kind
PostedMay 22, 2008

Forced plots and subplots, stilted dialogue, predictable action sequences, and A LOT of bad acting (not on Ford's part, but from LeBeouf and Blanchet). While it was fun watching Indiana Jones again, I exepcted more from Lucas, and probably shouldn't have. I walked away reminded of how he's been a bust ever since the eighties. I suppose I built myself up so much because this was a storied franchise that I wanted badly to see continue to develop that I could only be greatly pleased or deeply let down. I was let down. I guess that was the big disappointment for me: you see, in the other three films, Indy's character grew and developed as the weirdness around him unravelled; in this film, he's simply a cliche of himself with no growth, no dynamic change, and no character arc (fellow writers will know what I mean).
Overall, this film certainly wasn't worth staying up until 3 am to see. Wait for the DVD and watch it when it's raining and you have nowehere else to go or nothing else to do.
