And if I’m being harsh, well I’m about to get harsher. Michael Bay, who is not even in the same league as Spielberg, would have done a better job here.

Yes, I really disliked the ending too. It sucked. Particularly in light of al the Mayan and Inca history at the plotwriters disposal. I mean, this is what they come up with? Come on!

Hmmm.. did anyone else really dislike the ending? As a Star wars fan, I’m willing to suspend my disbelief, but this was too much. I was hoping for a more down to earth kind of story, but instead they had to top the other installments in this respect as well…

And since when does a simple cloth stop magnetism?

Thinking back of it, I was really disappointed.

A lot of things have already been mentioned, and although the movie started quite good and promising with some old skool action scenes, it went downwards from there. In some of scenes Ford seemed lost and was not carrying ther movie and the plot holes were too large to be covered up with the love we all feel for this francise. The Russians were one-dimensional and Blanchet was dull, the CIA guys just as quickly disappeared as they appeared. The triple agent story was stupid and unclear and the story around Oxley was badly written, etc etc.

Next to that there was an overkill of bad CGI and Jones turned into a Looney Tune, surviving the worst punishment -like a nuclear blast- without a scratch. Even for a movie that has supernatural elements in it, that is too much. I’m more than willing to suspend my disbelief, but they should not rape the “inherent logic” of the story. I could go on and on about things that bothered me, but that would mean I would spend more time on it than the script writers obviously did. This was even worse than Temple of Doom.

I didn’t really like this movie. It was disapointing and personally I liked the third one the best I think. Don’t get all on my back if you disagree with me, these are just my opinions about it. I’m extremely picky with movies, though, and I think that most people’s standards of a good movie today are rotting, so that even the most rediculously stupid movies are greatly appreciated…
There were some cool parts in this movie, like Jones unrealisticly surviving the atomic bomb explosion. By the way, the Russians are all pissed off about this movie… too bad. You can’t make everyone happy. How many movies are there where the Americans are the bad guys? A lot, but no one really bitches about them.
I think it was sort of contradicting how the first and third Indiana Jones movies had to do with religious artifacts, but in this fourth movie they just decided to throw in some psychic aliens…wtf? I also disliked how it seemed like Jones was more following the crazy guy who had been mentally screwed up by the skull, than actually doing his own thinking.
Believe it or not (I didn’t think this was possible), they overkilled it with the action. There was hardly any wait-a-second-let’s-actually-use-our-brains time, so the movie seemed to go by really fast.
And yes, in a pathetic attempt for the movie businesses to scrounge for more money, this was one of those “raising-a-future-Indiana-Jones-movies”. It ended with the gist that Shiloh Buff (sp?) is going to carry on his (apparent) father’s name.
And why did they decide to throw Meriam back in? Jones didn’t seem too attached to her still in the his following movies…
I thought everything was loosly connected and it left you with a lot of “wait, what about that guy?” sort of feelings. The Russian chick and the triple agent guy both went out in extremely unoriginal ways…they could have done a little better.
Anyway, those are my opinions. I butchered it, yes, but that’s what I think. I was disapointed, like I said, and I don’t think they did a very good job with making it as good as the older ones, like I expected. Now they’re probably going to stretch the movies out into a long series of “let’s go find some treasure, guys!” sort of movies…Well, there you have it from my point of view…
