WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT?!!?!?


I think George Lucas misses Star Wars a bit too much.
Himura Kenshin
Yeah, it didn't look impressive.

I dunno, it was pretty much an Indiana Jones. Not amazing, but fun to watch.

Oh C'mon there were fucking aliens in the movie! Totally disappointed me. The movie was fun to watch but I couldn't get over the fact that it was about aliens.

Haha, this movie was fucking awful. The special effects were lame, the acting was terrible (Harrison Ford must be rusty), the first 10-20 minutes made me want to rip my hair out, and yeah the end to this movie was fucking WEIIIIIRD! Since when is Indiana Jones Will Smith from Armageddon?

Independence Day. Not Armageddon. I was reminded quite a bit of ID4 throughout the movie though. Lots of similarities.

Anyway the movie definitely wasn't awful. Corny and unrealistic sure, but that's Indiana Jones for you. It was fun, it was action-packed and a great intro to summer flicks. Didn't expect more than that and so I wasn't disappointed. Just a solid "good" movie, not great.
zabean?
i thought it was awesome in a lol kind of way

Whatever...the movie was horrendous. Remind me never to think twice about your opinion in movies. I understand the corny parts, but there was no sense in having so much shitty special effects. Also, the plot was so fucking gay I can't even comprehend it. Aliens and shit...come on. Oh and did anyone notice that big-ass machine that was cutting down trees to make a path or whatever? Well, how come when Idiana *spoilers i guess* blew it up there was a clean path for the chase scene? I know I'm being picky, but that part pissed me off most for some reason. That and when Shia turned into Tarzan and become a monkey god or some shit. Anyway, I came in expecting a fun Indiana Jones movie. What I got was a kiddy piece of crap full of bad acting and turns into a bad episode of X-Files at the end. What a disgrace to previous Indy movies. I can't wait for Dark Knight. I need to get this sour taste out of my mouth.

I haven't seen the first three in a while but I remember some kooky shit from those movies. Aliens were just the next step and weren't really a significant part of the story.

You're the one who is taking an Indiana Jones movie way too seriously.

Indy searches for The Ark of the Covenant...

Indy searches for Sacred Stones in the Temple of Doom...

Indy searches for The Holy Grail...

Indy follows around some blabbering old man, who only he understands, to return the crystal skull of some random Alien God who lives deep inside a Mayan temple.


All the movies had kooky shit in them, but this went over the line. The other movies were based on things that could exist. This time they just completely made things up and provided a horrible storyline to go with it. IDK it was cool to see Indiana Jones again. But it felt more like they took Indy and put him in another universe. It just didn't feel right.

How are aliens any more kooky than a cup that grants immortal life and a chest containing the original stone tablets given by God to the Israelites?

I think you're being biased just because it's ALIENS. But they're really no crazier than the other plotlines.

Because that shit didn't involve a space ship the size of 9 foot-ball fields sucking people up along with a fake-looking, gay-ass alien sucking some woman's brain out through its eyes. If you need that explained to you , I can see why you enjoyed it. laugh.gif I'll just go ahead and file this movie under "For stupid people only" which is on the same lines as "Anything with Adam Sandler".

I didn't actually see the movie, I haven't liked the looks of it since the first trailer and once I heard from my friends how bad it was I definitely don't want to to see it - I just don't get why you think that a giant space-ship and brain-sucking aliens are any worse than the shituclar light show we got we when they opened the Ark up in Raiders. You can't really suspend your disbelief for one thing but not about because you don't like the way it looked.

Jesus christ, you haven't even seen the movie. I can take Zebrahead's opinion (and props to him for not referencing some old 4chan meme in his post), but you...see the fucking movie first, which I'm sure you'll say you like now regarldess of your thoughts. And you guys comparing Indy's previous plot lines to this one are crazy. I mean, the ending to this movie was straight out of the book of Scientology.

I come to this board whenever I get on the computer throughout the day. I don't care about you people so if some of you don't agree with me, I'm going to fight with you and make fun of you. I'm not trying to be an "internet tough guy", I'm just amused at reactions more than posting "I didn't like it....blah,blah,blah." That's not fun and since I don't come here to socialize, I enjoy what I post. And honestly, how boring would this board be without people like me?

So please, homie, just know most everything I say is in jest. I really can take your opinion, it's just funnier to fuck with you.

If you're taking issue with the aliens things, it's because you just refuse to mix aliens into Indiana Jones, and I don't think that's legitimate. The plot's internally consistent - the Nazca lines are real, and they're just like crop signs... so the mayans -> aliens connection seems pretty natural. If you want to argue something, argue the fact that Indy survived a nuke by hopping into a fridge.

There's a difference to act like a dumbass because it's funny and gets laughs, as opposed to someone just placating their internet ego and then trying to excuse it by saying they "don't care about us people," which has been done about 1232943245 times on this board already, including me a few times. I got bored of it.

If it's in jest, then where's the funny?

You're boring me, homie. Moving on...

This review is funny as hell to me- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5EJEU-nCrc...;watch_response

The guy is pretty nerdy, but he makes so great observations. I forgot all about the mutant ants! LOL that part was so childish and retarded especially when the ants climbed ontop of each other to try and get to that russian bitch.

DID YOU SEE THE ANTS?

I thought it was decent. Since everyone I knew told me there would be aliens beforehand I wasn't disappointed.

Personally, I didn't have a problem with the fact that there were aliens simply because they were aliens, I had a problem with the aliens because of how they were handled. That, and there was a lot of other retarded shit in that movie. But as far as the aliens go, think back to the previous Indy movies. In Temple of Doom, at the end of the movie, did Shiva fucking drop out of the sky and shoot lightning bolts out of his hands into the bad guy? Was Jesus hanging out with them at the end of Last Crusade? All of the movies have been centered around the fantastic, but there's always remained some element of mystery left at the end. Whereas in number four, we get hints throughout the movie that these Mayan gods were actually aliens who visited the earth long ago, then we get some shit right out of Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind when they actually find the other crystal skeletons, then the man who's been batshit crazy the entire movie suddenly is totally coherent and just flat out explains to us that they're not aliens but rather interdimensional beings. Like, we fucking get it, they're not from earth. Anyone in the audience who's not retarded figured that out way earlier in the movie.

Yeah, and then there's the other retarded shit they packed in to the movie, like Indy's son; Indy's son having an honest-to-god swordfight with the evil chick while they're on two different trucks driving through the jungle; Indy's son swinging from vine to vine like a monkey; them driving off a cliff onto a tree, knocking the tree over and then driving off of it, only to have it fucking spring back up Wile E. Coyote style to smack a bunch of guy's on the cliff; The fact that the aliens opened an interdimensional portal to ack to whateer dimension they're from, but then for some reason they also needed to take off in a flying saucer into space when the movie just told me a minute ago that they're not from space. And then after the flying saucer takes off the movie once again tells me that they're not from space, so I don't know what the fuck was with that flying saucer.

Oh and when that british guy died, did anyone else not notice any reason why he wasn't getting up? It looked like he just fell over, Indy threw him the whip and then he lay there hoping to be dragged to safety. Was there something I didn't notice like, crushing him or something? Or was he just so useless and lazy that he couldn't just stand up and walk to safety?

Also I can't understand why the Russians would assume that indiana jones is the best guy to help them find something locked away in a big warehouse that he's never been in before; If I were in their position, I'd probably have asked one of the people who worked in that base, instead of just killing them all right away.

Well said Paraphen
merriweatherpostpavillion
Yeah very well said. The previous movies were pretty farfetched, but this installment was like watching a god damn cartoon. I was thinking how retarded the opening scene with the smiling gopher was...looking back, the movie couldn't have opened up more fitting.

Gayest movie ever. Seriously...I think watching two dudes fuck each other would've been less gay.
