The official Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Thread - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJL · 05-22-2008, 04:56 AM

I had the pleasure of seeing Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull at a midnight screening tonight - thanks to my roommate who had the brains to score tickets early Wednesday afternoon..

In a word: outstanding!

It's a homerun. A smash. A great film adventure.

They nailed it.

Kudos to Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford for bringing Indy back on the big screen after a 19 year hiatus in a wonderful slam bang film that is just as entertaining, funny and exciting as the previous Indiana Jones movies.

Please, go see this film. You guys know i don't heap praise on a lot of movies... let's face it, ANY movie, but this one will not dissappoint.

I want to hear from all you Indy fans who are going to see this film over the weekend.

You have no idea how happy I am to have an Indiana Jones movie in theaters again.

I absolutely, unquestionably, want to see this movie. I usually only see 2-3 movies in theaters per year.

CheersChild4life · 05-24-2008, 01:45 AM

The movie rocked. I'm a huge Indy fan and I absolutely loved the movie. It was super entertaining and the action sequences were absolutely on point. The movie definitely does justice to Indy legacy!

Yes! I agree! Crystal Skullis a triumph!

I felt like a kid again when I watched this movie.

Okay. i was 20 when I saw Last Crusade, but you get the point...

Mr. Television · 05-24-2008, 09:35 AM

Wow I'm glad you guys like it so much. I'm going to see it tonight. I can't wait.

Mr. Television · 05-24-2008, 09:57 PM

Well I just came back from seeing it and you all are right. It Rocked.

A number of members of the Communist Party in Russia are asking its citizens to boycott the new Indiana Jones movie, as they say it's a historical distortion, and puts communist ideology in a bad light. Ease up guys, it's Hollywood, you can't expect truth from there.

The setting for the new Indiana Jones movie is a battle between Indiana Jones and a dastardly KGB agent played by Cate Blanchett.

One Russian Communist Party politician, Andrei Anreyev, said "it is very disturbing if talented directors want to provoke a new Cold War."

Talk about taking things too seriously. It's just a movie.

Thinking some may take the film as historical truth, some Communist Party members let it be known on a Web site that the former Soviet Union "did not send terrorists to the States" in 1957. Good thing they corrected us on that.

Of course what they've probably done have ensured that it will get a good showing in Russia, by doing the one thing that will just about guarantee it: telling everyone not to go see it. It's premiered in Russia on Thursday.

^ Too funny.

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom would probably get tons of flack if it was released in this time: India would be up in arms about a movie that depicts thier citizens as blood thirsty savages who rip out people's hearts.

Twas AWESOME!!

I saw it on Friday. A lot of kids and baby boomers at the theater. The thing I can't believe is that Harrison Ford is a year older than my father.

Definitely the best Indiana Jones movie since Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nice to see Karen Allen again. This one had a lot more CGI than the others. There were some great chase scenes like the one on the campus.

Yes, my Dad is not much older that Harrison Ford, yet he still managed to do so many amazing stunts.

I know there was a lot more CGI stuff compared to the previous films; the whole jungle car chase was totally CG; but when you think about it, to stage a sequence like that on location would cost tons of money and take weeks to film; I applaud that they made it look so darn real!

I haven't seen it YET but I can't wait!

How was Shia LaBeouf in this film? I've never seen him in any movie and was curious as to how he did.

InspectorExstead · 05-26-2008, 05:12 PM

i am hopefully going to see the new indy movie this week after finals! i've heard a lot of good reviews about it, so i'm sure i will not be disappointed.

I think he did a good job in Crystal Skull. He held his own with Harrison Ford.

Will he take over the Indiana Jones franchise?

Not sure, but Spielberg likes working with him, so maybe in a few years...

Great! Thanks!

Last time I saw anything with him in it was during his Disney years (I think he's only a year older than I am...I might be wrong) so he was still pretty young. Glad to hear was able to hold his own with Harrison Ford.
