Speilbergian Achievement
PostedMay 22, 2008

from Lowell, Ma
George Lucas and Steven Speilberg definetly go back to thier fantasy roots on this one. I am a lover of all things Indy, even the tired attempt of Temple, so this was a HUGE deal for me. Our favorite fedora clad archeologist is doing field work once more. While Crystal Skull brought back the snappy one liners, interesting new characters, and chase scenes galore, I was missing the human element. The kind of action where you think, for a moment, Indy might plummet off a cliff into the raging water below instead of into a CGI pool of imagination. Understanding that Harrison, and for that matter Indy are older, I know why they sacraficed stunt men for computer graphics, but wasn't that the key to Raiders?The comic relief that comes from knowing a monolithic german is going to catch a chopper blade is missing here in Crystal, where the action is speedy but a blue screen blur.
Yet, isn't there some greatness to that hat wearing shadow entering the scene? For camp alone, this is a must see. If you call yourself a film fan or movie buff you should have seen it already. Here's hoping to a more earth bound adventure for our next Indy Adventure!

Yes, I recommend this movie.
