Who else is going to see it? I'm getting tickets for the midnight show tomorrow. |
| john bodega 20.05.2008 13:51 |
When's it out?!? What the fuck! May flies when you're having no fun. |
| PieterMC 20.05.2008 13:51 |
I'll be going this weekend. Can't wait! It seems like yesterday to me that I went to see The Temple of Doom, but I guess it has been quite a while. |

Indiana Jones dies in the third act. |

I loved Harrison Ford's reply to the critic's who gave the movie a lukewarm reception: "It is not unusual for something popular to be disdained by some people. I fully expect it, and I'm not worried about it. I work for the people who pay their money to see the movie. They are my customers. "I want to create the best experience I can for these people. This film is such a celebration of the movies that I feel inured from professional criticism." Brilliant. |
| Bob The Shrek 20.05.2008 14:25 |
Mrs Shrek and I will be going Thursday evening. |

Let us know (those of your who are going to see it) if it's any good!! I've got a friend coming up next week and I think we'll go and see it...it'll be my last movie at the cinema until I actually get a JOB! |
| Music Man 20.05.2008 17:24 |
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Bingo" I remember that from Conan a long time ago, when there were talks about making a new "Indy" film. |
| Dan C. 20.05.2008 17:39 |
I'll probably go and see it sometime this weekend. |
| beautifulsoup 20.05.2008 17:44 |
Yep, I'll go, probably this weekend. And I *rarely* go to movies in the theatre; I'll wait 'til they're released on DVD - or whatever. |
| JoxerTheDeityPirate 21.05.2008 04:57 |
lets hope Lucas doesnt muck it up like he did Star Wars. i shall wait for the DVD as by the time it gets to Penzance it will be out on dvd a few weeks later anyway. |

Actually, the original title of the film was not going to be "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It was really going to be called "Indiana Jones and the Death of Indiana Jones". |
| Adam Baboolal 22.05.2008 08:59 |
Just seen it this morning and I'm feeling pretty mixed about it. I watched the previous 3 films, building up to this one and the new one just doesn't come off as good. It starts off brilliantly and continues well enough till about 45minutes through. There were plenty of bits I loved in the first half of the film, but there were loads of slow rubbish bits after that. I had read some reviews talking about overly long exposition scenes and I agree, they are long and a bit laborious, too. Also, I'd read it was better than the Last Crusade. I really like the last film and count it as the 2nd best Indy film. That has not changed. I think the new film is pretty much bottom of the pile for me. Such a shame. I think I need to see it again to really form an opinion, though. But yeah, gut reaction. Adam. P.s. don't listen to that stupid spoiler up this page. Talkin rubbish! |
| Mr.Jingles 22.05.2008 09:13 |
For anyone hardcore Indy fan, it's well know that technically Indiana Jones can't be killed in this film. He appears as an old man in the 90s narrating his adventures on the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. |

I've never seen any of this Indiana Jones crap. Why are people so impressed with this shite anyway? Meh. What we need is a sequel to Flashdance. |
| Matias Merçeauroix 23.05.2008 05:04 |
Jones dies within the first 5 minutes. |
| JoxerTheDeityPirate 23.05.2008 13:29 |
just read the reviews in the 'daily rags' here in the UK and i must admit im now tempted to take a fly swatter and watch it at the cinema while the tiddlywinks are off school.it does look very impressive... |
| john bodega 23.05.2008 13:55 |
Looks like my favourite archaeologist has been bitten by the prequel Star Wars bug. But against my better judgement I'm going to see it tomorrow. If it sucks I'll amuse myself by wedging my way into other families that have set up camp in the theatre. Possibly steal some popcorn. |

| Adam Baboolal 23.05.2008 20:14 |
There are some kick ass moments in it, so enjoy them! Just be prepared for the bits that drag. But I must admit, with the buzz around this film, I wanna see it again! Adam. |
| QueenMercury46 23.05.2008 20:27 |

Anyway, Just saw the film. Wasn't really all that bad. The major problem for me was a redundant character called "Mac". I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying he was totally useless and inconsequential to the plot after around 20 minutes. |
| Griffin 24.05.2008 09:50 |
is it true JarJar makes an appearance? |
| Donna13 24.05.2008 10:21 |
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. |

I was bored. At least, I now know how to survive a nuclear explosion. |
| PieterMC 24.05.2008 22:05 |
I loved it! Pretty much exactly what I expected and hoped for. |
| john bodega 25.05.2008 01:44 |
A few too many utterly silly moments in the film for me. There's still a lot that I liked, but... hmm. |
| Penetration_Guru 25.05.2008 05:29 |
It was very average and mis-titled. Should have been called "...and the seamless handover of the franchise" |

I mean, come on... |
| Griffin 26.05.2008 01:26 |
saw it this afternoon, definitely worth the matinee, maybe not full price but it's not a wait-for-the-rental, or our friend Brant the Ripper, either. I would rank it imho a bit below Raiders & Crusade, but above Doom. fun! |

I GOT A FEELING A FEELING DEEP INSIDE OH YEAH OH YEAH The scene where Indy gets his hand cut off by Cate Blanchett was the best, I think. She is a killer with that rapier. |

I was expecting a Short Round - "I am your father" scene. THINGS I AM NOW AWARE ABOUT THE INDIANA JONES SERIES: Raiders Of The Lost Ark - Still timeless, even watching now. Pretty much a Star Wars, you know where you were when you first saw it. Temple Of Doom - Created the PG-13 rating because of the combination plate: Open Heart Surgery & Monkey brains. This also makes it a "classic", even though it sucked. It re-defined movie-going. Lost Crusade - Showed that Harrison can still carry a film and it's time for Connery to hang it up. But it was quite watchable. Crystal Skull - Showed that Hollywood Homicide wasn't THAT bad of a movie. |

I wrote a massive review of the film the other day, but rather than post that, I'll just say I thought it was worth a 7 out of 10 against a 10 for Raiders, a 9 for Crusade and an 8 for Doom (although thats actually my fave of the three for sentimental reasons!). Its good, its fun and exciting, and the action pieces are great (I agree with the guy above who said the opening 45 mins are really good), but its a bit overblown in places, the CG driven "suspend your disbelief" moments are too big and go far too far even for an Indy film, and it really needs an "Indy moment" where he pulls out of a desperate situation just as all seems lost, but that doesnt make it a bad film! As for handing over the franchise - Im praying they dont do anything that stupid with it! |
| Ellie :) 03.06.2008 17:27 |
I like Indy and I saw it. Yeahh it was good!! |
| agneepath! 11994 04.06.2008 16:56 |
awful. very few memorable scenes. |
| beautifulsoup 04.06.2008 18:36 |
I pretty much liked the movie. However, the popcorn was too buttery and not salty enough. ETA: We (hubby and I) figured that Indy's father would be acknowledged one way or another; and he was. |
| Under Pressure 05.06.2008 05:56 |
Hey, I liked it. Better than Doom, not as iconic as Raiders. I agree that Mac was a useless character; by the end there were too many people wandering around and no one ended up with quite enough action, especially John Hurt. But it was definitely entertaining. |
