from Mililani, Hi
Okay, I admit it. I am a big time Indiana Jones fan. I watched young indiana jones tv show, watched all the movies ad nauseum, and searched the web for tidbits on the movie for years. When it came out, did you expect anything less than a 12:01 showing in my hometown?
As for the movie? Its INDIANA JONES! lets face it, Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn't the Green mile, nor shawshank redemption, it was a smash em up funny action adventure based on historical trivial fact. And what was this movie? A smash em up funny action adventure based on historical trivial fact.
See a pattern here? its exactly what you expect from a Jones flick. To be fair, the start was a bit cheezy with horrible dialouge. When the action scene started up, it got much better and carried through the film. Towards the end, (grand finale), it got cheezy again. But between the cheese was a whole lot of classic indy humor with action that was over the top. I only shiver at what kind of movies the first three would have been if they had the arsenal of CGI tools that they have today.
As far as Ford's age, screw the critics. Old man held his own. It was a great, impossible to fall asleep in roller coaster ride. If you havent seen the first three...watch it. It makes more sense.
I give the acting 3 out of 5, story 3 out of 5, general humor and likeability, 5-5. It was about as riveting as the national treasure movies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
