george lucas should stay away from movies

I realize that Mr. Lucas didn't direct this film, so let me explain. He DID participate in the screenplay, and that is where this movie failed. The acting was fine, as was cinematography and special effects (I found them seemless), but the story was ridiculous. Where Indiana Jones movies succeeded in the past (and I'm not a huge fan, mind you), this movie fails in every way. The older generation Indy films took fantastic (although believable) premises and surrounded them with characters that made decisions that were completely acceptable, and didn't typically ask the audience to suspend belief to the point of eye-rolling. But to expect to swallow that Harrison Ford could be thrown several hundred feet (maybe thousands) encased in a refrigerator and walk away without so much as a sore shoulder, let alone every bone in his body not being reduced to rubble, is asking too much. And I won't even start in on the waterfall scene. If I see George Lucas' name attached to a film again in any capacity other than executive producer, no toilet paper for Skywalker Ranch will be bought with the proceeds of my movie ticket.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
