Angry Americans Stole my Money!!!

Well it was a hard week, working intensely and I thought to myself... take a break. Go out and do something. Well I have been waiting for ages for the release of the New Indiana Jones Film. Im a huge fan of the first three so cool, 20 years on and we have a new movie!!! Excellent..... No!!!!!! Its crap!! Terrible, an insult to my intellegence!!

I dont know why Im dissappointed, I should have known that any film with a George Lucas input was going to be rubbish. George Lucas hasnt directed a decent film since 'A new hope' and single handedly destroyed star wars with his new trilogy has had a huge input in this film and its obvious. Jokes that are just not funny, a pathetic unbelievable storyline, anti-communist monkeys!! Yes anti-communist monkeys feature in this film!!! The stunts are all unrealistic and the majority of them are special effects rather than stunts.

Yes the old films were a little corny here and there, but this new sucks. I cant believe speilberg was behind the camera. He should stick to what hes good at, holocaust films or whatever.

These two directors with unlimited finances should have been able to produce a timeless classic. But no, they make a cheap piece of crap which they know everybody will want to go and see, thus robbing our hard worked for cash. Its theft in my eyes. I saw the previews and all the cast & crew were saying what fun it was in the making. I bet it was, I bet they were laughing there asses off thinking of the huge wads of cash they were going to make out of suckers like me.

Im nothing less than disgusted by this effort and want my money back!!!!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 0.5 out 10 CRAP!!!

Agreed - I saw IronMan on Saturday and it was worth the $4 drink price.

Just saw indy yesterday myself, not impressed at all. I agree with the others on Iron man though, that was a great movie.

What did you think of the wild monkeys Larry, the ones who automatically knew who were the bad guys!!!

Also the 3 waterfalls that they fell down in the car, was totally stupid. I went to those waterfalls in february. They are here in argentina (iguazu falls).

A: the last fall they fell down is called the devils throat. There are no other falls preceding it like it was portrayed in the film.

B: There is no way anyone could have survived falling off that. The sheer volume of water would snap your spine and crush you. They managed to achieve this is in a rusty heavy duty jeep (without seat belts on yet they stayed in the vehicle)

Who writes this belloni? Who says 'yes, the public are idiots who will enjoy this'?

How old is george lucas? Its hard to tell with his plastic surgery! I wish he would just die, his films are crap!!

Critics Australia wide are also giving the thumbs down (on mass) to the new Indiana Jones movie.

Second person that I know who said the Indiana Jones movie sucked. I'm glad I didn't go see it for sure now.

I did go to see Iron Man on Sunday night at the drive in. (Yea, we still have one of those here in the boonies). It was really good.

I've noticed lately that more than half of new movie releases just plain suck. I honestly think most movie creators are in to make a quick buck, not a quality movie.

Indiana Jones wasn't too bad, you've gotta understand that in all the movies it is a major stretch of reality. Can the guy pull out a heart and the wound close right up? I guess the major differences here where the efforts/support which made it possible in that reality. For example, the magic of the stones and the religion made it possible for that guy to pull out the heart. What on earth made it possible for Jr.Jr. to convince the monkeys to attack the enemy. Also, you'd think the Tarzan Scene would have never made it to the screen, come on!! What really did it for me was the Aliens and the fact that the movie seemed to rush through everything to get there. It seemed aweful short. I'd give it a 4 out of 10.

I like Ironman as well. It was a refreshing change from the crap that has paraded as movies recently.
