after watching old twilight zone movies on u-tube last nite, i have concluded the art and skill of making quality movies is long gone. it has been substituted by cheap actors and cheap hi-tech props.

This Crystal skull mess was the most retarded movie I have seen in a long, long time.
Spielberg should never be allowed near a camera ever again.

That was a good "IV" movie.

so i take it you didn't get any....i mean what girl would put out to a pussy who cries about how bad a movie is?
seriously...it's a movie
Post of the Day, maybe week.
I would compare it to the Die Hard movie that came out last year. Both were entertaining, but over the top and definitely not as good as the original three in each of the series.
Harrison Ford is the best Jew actor anywhere. He's my favorite.
Horrible movie. Hardly does the other 3 justice. The marriage in the end made me want to puke. Indy isn't about to get married.
Shame on you George & Steven. Harrison Ford deserved better.

I was expecting it to be pretty bad, but it was enjoyable to watch, even if it was incredibly over the top. The end scene where the doors of the church swing open and the theme music comes on as Indy's hat is blown over to Shia Laboef had me scared. He almost put it on until Indy snatches it out of his hands. Steven Speilberg's cruel joke to make us think a new Indiana Jones series starring, God forbid, Shia Laboef, and then reassure us that he's not that stupid?
Totally agree. I thought having Laboef in this movie in the first place was kinda dumb (he really doesn't play a good badass), but if they ever dared make him the "new Indiana Jones" I would just be sick.
And ya, this movie was a pretty big dissapointment to me because I was really looking forward to it. Like others said, when I saw the opening scene with the gofer I really thought it was some other preview, I didn't realize the movie had started. And the whole Indy having a son and then going all "dad" on him right away was just so corny. Having his friend switch sides twice was kinda dumb too. Reminded me of a elementary school snowball fight where you switch sides right when you're about to get pegged.
And then the ending was just awful too. The aliens blow up the Russian chick, the bad guys go to another dimension (but not space don't forget!), and then they watch a flying saucer go away while Indiana Jones trips over himself and says his retarded "valued knowledge" line. I mean, it seemed like an Indiana Jones thing to say, but it could have been a lot better.
Overall, I'm fine with the ridiculous action scenes and even a plot about aliens. But the way they did it just came out pretty bad. Not like the other three at all. But maybe I'm just biased because I had seen the other three. Like the first poster here I went with my girlfriend and talked up how good the fist three were. And after the movie I was saying how bad it was, but she actually liked it. So maybe it was only bad if you saw the fist three??? Not sure.

I actually really liked the 4th Die Hard. I thought it was definitely better than the 2nd and even rivaled the 1st and 3rd. I mean, the stunts were totally unbelievable and impossible, but it was still Bruce Willis just kicking ass.
Someone else also mentioned National Treasure 2 in comparison with Indian Jones. I didn't think this was too bad either. I mean, I really liked the first and the 2nd wasn't nearly as good, but still not totally awful.
I guess I wasn't holding it up to such a high standard as the 4th Indiana Jones though. I was really hoping it'd be something special and it didn't deliver.
Are they seriously talking about a 5th IJ? I heard the title is something like "Indiana Jones and such and such's brain". Sounds pretty bad already.
