Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[Cagefighterkip]

Maybe it's just me, but that Indy/Marion/Willy scene was retarded and I'm so glad they didn't go that route.

as a piece of fanFiction its good but not for a movie

[spideyboy_1111]

Maybe it's just me, but that Indy/Marion/Willy scene was retarded and I'm so glad they didn't go that route.

well... i have mixed feelings about it, i like indy with marion, but I dont like the way it went about in 4...

[8wid]

I can't understand why they didn't go with the excellent story threaded out in Indiana Jones and the Phantom City of the Gods. There is no scene with Marion, Willy, and Indy reuniting, just some mentioning of what happened to them after the original trilogy.

[Timstuff]

Has anyone heard anything about the DVD / Blu-Ray for Indy 4 yet? Also, if a Blu-Ray version is coming, I would certainly hope the original 3 films will be joining it... But knowing Lucas, that's probably too good to happen.

[Bim]

Yes sir! :woot:

I would think that the first 3 will be released on Blu-ray soon enough... i dont have a blu-ray player, so right now i dont care tbh :oldrazz: :hehe:

Amazon is already taking pre-orders for this...cant wait! :indy:

You answered your own question :huh:

I mean are they new DVDs or just rehashed from May into a new box?

I'm pretty sure they will be the same ones from May. That's why I bought the Adventure Collection a couple of weeks ago, and will be picking up KOTCS separately.

Didn't the Supreme Court declare that showing the prequels back to back to prisoners in Gitmo is in fact cruel and unusual punishment? Isn't that why the Bush administration decided to go back to the more humane form of torture that is water boarding? :cwink:

Aww no digital copy?

[Grif]

Anyone see the new South Park ? They make fun of the new Indiana Jones movie & he gets raped in them & Kyle, Stan & Kenny get a group together to take down Lucas & Speilberg :hehe:

[The Chris]

Raped? What's up with rape being supposedly funny in these damn cartoons?

[Grif]

Raped? What's up with rape being supposedly funny in these damn cartoons?

In the movie the South Park kids see there is an actual scene where Indy gets raped & pretty much everyone that sees it is traumatized by it :o Its not the rape thats funny but the reactions & how they made fun of fan boys with how they say "they raped my child hood". This episode is making fun of fan boys

[Watson]

Raped? What's up with rape being supposedly funny in these damn cartoons?

It's funny when it represents the metaphorical rape Lucas has committed on our childhood heroes. Or so I can only assume South Park was trying to get at.

I'm getting the awesome Future Shop steelbook! :D :up:

Is this an in-store Indy promotion? :huh:

:wow: They're going after Lucas and Spielberg again?! AWESOME!!!

About 40 minutes away...

[Cagefighterkip]

Raped? What's up with rape being supposedly funny in these damn cartoons?

agreed, i love south park but the rape scenes are hard to watch. disliked it... i dont give a ***** that they disliked indy (i loved it), mayeb if they cut away and didnt see the "rape" i wouldnt care, but it bugged me. the stuff with butters and cartman wasnt that funny either... i rlly hope this season shapes up better cuz this is a classic show and this is not a good way to start up new eps.

[LostSon88]

Thing is...this is coming from two guys that are obviously Indiana Jones fans. They LOVE Raiders and the whole thing about the first episode a few years back about Lucas and Spielberg tampering with their classics (ET, Raiders, ESB) was about Trey and Matt wanting them to leave the movies they grew up watching and enjoying...alone.

So don't think they hate IJ...they're probably some of his biggest fans who are just bitter.

And in their defense...not even Spielberg ever seemed very enthusiastic about IJ4.

(he hated the whole alien angle)

[chaseter]

HAHA South Park was hilarious.

true, (though i loved crystal skull) i just hate rape jokes in any way shape or form so it bugged me a lot... rape and gay bashing are pretty much the only kind of humor i truly hate.

[Octoberist]

Their opinion is..somewhat a reflection of mine, though not to that extreme. That's the point of SOuth Park: it's so wrong, but it's strangely funny. Yeah, the rape scenes were hard to watch but..I couldn't stop laughing. (not at the idea of rape, but the idea of 'tainting your own legacy'..)

i agree --
the rapes just hard to take... i know several near and dear people off the top of my head who were raped. its kinda close to home.

[scifiwolf]

I liked the basic concept of South park poking fun at fanboys and Indy 4, but I think they did it in an absolutely tasteless way. I also think they missed the marked completely with the Chinese bit. I don't think it was that tasteless, but I think they went about it in a pretty unfunny way. For me, the only funny thing was Butters shooting everyone in their junk, and how mad it made Cartman.

[kingman]

I got this on BluRay yesterday... will be watching it tonight.

[BatJeff7786]

And in their defense...not even Spielberg ever seemed very enthusiastic about IJ4.

(he hated the whole alien angle)

I refuse to believe that. In fact, I think that's the only reason he did it. Spielberg has always been fascinated by alien life, hence why he has so many films about them (close encounters, E.T.,War of the Worlds, the end of A.I.). If Spielberg wasn't enthusiastic for IJ4 and still did it anyways, I blame him for screwing it up more than Lucas.

those were robots you know...

[BatJeff7786]

That's true. But they looked like aliens (long bodies with round heads).

[Bim]

No, Obama and McCain were against it. That's why they're in the final two. :woot:
:hehe::hehe:

Spielberg was hesitant to do the alien thing cause he had done ET, Close Encounters, WOW but in the end he got on board cause of the way they went about the aliens (or interdimensional beings :cwink:)

I'm really glad Lucas pushed for that one, cause i simply LOVED the aliens... for me, the shot where the ship is leaving and Indy stands on looking was breath taking :woot:

[BatJeff7786]

The alien really didn't kill the movie for me or make it. I could take or leave it.

The aliens didn't really bother me either. It's not really any less believable than the other artifacts. But the rest of the film, minus the motorcycle chase, wasn't very good.

Pick up "The Complete Making of Indiana Jones: The Definitive Story Behind All Four Films (http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Making-Indiana-Jones-Definitive/dp/0345501292/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223583635&sr=8-2)".

I read a majority of it and it becomes very clear in the book that Spielberg was not into the whole alien aspect of the film. It took ALOT of convincing from Lucas to make him go that route. If I recall, in the book Spielberg stated that he wanted to keep Indy "real" and didn't feel introducing aliens was the way to go...

Harrison Ford agreed. I specifically remember this piece from the book, when Lucas initally called Ford,

(paraphrased)

Lucas: "Hey, so we're doing an Indy 4."
Ford: "Great, what's it gonna be about?"
Lucas: "This time you're going after aliens."
Ford: (pauses) "I don't know if that's something i'd be interested in."

The only one pushing the alien angle was Lucas...ironically the one piece of Crystal Skull a majority of the fanbase hated.

And to answer your question, the only reason Speilberg did IJ4 is the same reason Ford did...this series of movies is part of his legacy and he can't just sit by and let someone else do the film, as unenthusiastic he may be. The Indiana Jones character is his baby, just as much as it is Lucas' and Ford.

:hehe: Thats how I feel about it too.

[Carnotaur3]

I really thought the aliens would bother me in the film, but they didn't. What bothered me, however was Mac's character and the team Indy aspect of the film. I hope in Indy V that Indiana Jones goes back to doing things HIS way and everyone else is just "tagging along, sweetheart!"

[War Party]

In regards to South Park. I know two of the rape scenes were from Deliverance and The Accused. But what movie was the first rape scene from? I can't figure it out.

[LostSon88]

I believe it was "Boys don't cry"

That Hilary Swank movie.

[Doctor Jones]

South Park: The most tasteless show ever.

[Ziggyman]

...Indy 4...Sigh...

I really didn't like this movie...Like...Really...!

[LostSon88]

And damn proud of it. :grin:

[Drizzle]

South Park: The most tasteless show ever.
And yet it's brilliant at the same time.

[Solidus]

And yet it's brilliant at the same time.

Yea, I agree. South Park, is truly a very deep, and satirical/philosophy based show, with many deep issues, meanings, and I always think in the end Trey and Matt are right. There is rarley a time I have disagreed with their views. They always seem to make sense of things, things that most would not touch with a 100 foot poll.

Yet at the same time, they do make dick and fart jokes. As they once put it. Yes there is very low brow humor within South Park, it is truly one of the deeper shows on television, with messages and meanings, usually just asking its viewers to open their eyes. They have touched upon all the issues no one else wants to, and that takes intelligence and balls. And then yes they add in low brow humor, but to me its a perfect mix.

As for the Indy thing, I liked Indy 4, but it was no where as good as the first three. Like the prequels, it seems George has ....lost it. He has forgotten what has made his movies great, instead he just wants technology to be the forefront of all his projects.

I agree with them to a degree, adding in Shia, and having such unrealistic, CGI based scenes, goes against everything Indy stands for. Even in the extras of the original trilogy for Indy, they said the whole point is to be computer graphic free for the most part, and be filmed like the old serials back in the day, where it was all real stunts, and adventure. And to me they threw that concept out the window for part 4.

And the alien thing though interesting, was not, mysterious enough, and to get to it just did not seem as much like an adventure in my opinion.

Nothing will be as good as the first three. But that is my views on it.

[UA-Archangel]

I was so disappointed in this movie.

With all due respect, the stunts were obviously done in such a way that Harrison's Ford's 65 year old body could put up with it.

Despite that fact that Harrison Ford was in amazing shape, for a 65 year old dude and he put out his best effort, it was obvious to me that he performed like a 65 year old would.

Also, can a 65 year old man really go toe-to-toe with a 30ish Russian super-soldier who is 6 inches taller and 50 lbs heavier?

What also got to me were the sequences where they showed the bullets and darts flying through the air like they showed on Xena.

[Ziggyman]

I just really disliked this movie! So crappy!

i get my DVD on sunday :)

I read the book and i dont remember reading that anywhere :cwink:

If they hadnt all liked the story for Indy 4 at all i'm sure they would have been just fine leaving Indy in 3 films.

The Indy movie that i do know Steven doesnt like is TOD (It's on the extras of the dvd collection).

Only a few more days to go for the dvd woooohoooo! :woot:

I really don't know how he thinks of "Skulls" though. I'm sure deep down, he's dissapointed with it too.

Well, Spielberg and Ford did want to another one after 3.

[Bim]

Well, Spielberg and Ford did want to another one after 3.
Indeed, and they were the ones urging Lucas to come up with #4, so go figure.

[Venom75]

Honestly,I'm not even sure I'd want to include Crystal Skull as part of the series,but maybe a stand alone film. I must say that although there were some parts I liked,I was disappointed with it. Aliens,Indy surviving a nuclear blast and then 3 drops from huge waterfalls,Shia swinging with monkeys,sub-par villains;etc.
Not a shining moment for Indy. So,I can understand the South Park episode(I caught it on tv the other night).
But I'm not going to criticize anyone else for liking the film. Everyone has the right to like,or not like the movie.

I thought all the films are stand alone? :huh: They each are great in there own different ways.

Well,I meen that since Crystal Skull was just SO different with the alien theme and since it wasn't as impressive to me as the previous 3 films,that I don't really like to think of it in the same league as the other movies.

[Gold Samurai]

South Park: The most tasteless show ever.

they even added the Indy howl that we heard in temple of doom when he's on that slab fighting that potion

[Doctor Jones]

Well,I meen that since Crystal Skull was just SO different with the alien theme and since it wasn't as impressive to me as the previous 3 films,that I don't really like to think of it in the same league as the other movies.

Its because its been 20 years since the last film. With CG and everything. Not to mention it takes place in the 50's. I think that's why it feels so different. I felt you couldn't ignore what was going on then. The alien sightings, Area 51, the nuclear age, etc. I was just glad they put that in there. Just think, if all three films were made today, they'd all feel the same. But Temple feels the darkest, and this is the most... out there. :cwink:
I'm just glad they all feel different in tone. But again, the other three films felt more consistant becasue they were made around the same time frame. Three to five years apart isn't that long next to twenty years.

Exactly. Well said :up:

[LostSon88]

Indeed, and they were the ones urging Lucas to come up with #4, so go figure.

Yep, and the one he came up with was not what they had in mind.

There was one script they liked wasn't there? The one by Darabount I believe? Ford liked it, Spielberg liked it, Lucas didn't.

Hence they went back to the drawing board and wala...KOTCS.

[Joker]

Darabonts script leaked a while back, and it was VERY similar to what we got in Crystal Skull.

[Kent]

Darabonts script leaked a while back, and it was VERY similar to what we got in Crystal Skull.

Yeah, pretty much down to the aliens and crystal skulls and whatnot, right?

[Doctor Jones]

Exactly. Well said :up:

Thank you. :yay:

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, pretty much down to the aliens and crystal skulls and whatnot, right?

Yeah, I read it. Save for some stupid things, the script was excellent. Alot of the scenes from Darabont's draft is what we saw in Indy 4. The warehouse (done in a different way), Doomtown (pretty much the same thing) Meeting with the government and them keeping an eye on Jones, the crystal skulls, South America, the ant attack. Alot of stuff. But the same scenes that were in his script were much better in KOTCS. The finale was a little different, in the draft the alien turned into Hitler (bad call) And Indy's decision for giving up all the power was alright. But at the end, he didn't have to tell Marion about giving it all up for her. Overall a very good script, well written, the action was fun to read. I don't know why Darabont didn't get a writing credit though.

Other differences -

Some dude in all black follows Indy home. Fight in museum. Falls off museum roof. Cool scene.

Indy gets drunk in the museum. A humerous scene mirroring the idol scene in Raiders when he tries to break into the secrutiy glass to get an artifact. At first I didn't like the drunken Indy. But it grew on me. I'm still split about it though.

Indy goes to New York City where he meets Marion

Marion is married to another archeologist - love triangle. Handeled well though

Different side characters that have no significance

Not so exciting bad guys. There were like four of them.

Indy gets eaten by a giant snake (one of the worst parts for me) and escapes form it. Can you imagine the outburst of hate Lucas would get if they kept THAT in? You all think Lucas is crazy, at least he didn't put the giant snake in.

An arial dogfight - boring, we've seen that before

There's a Mac-like character in the script. I think his name is Yuri. He's a good character though. He has one of the best lines of the script. "Adventure still has a name." Or something like that. His fate at the end should of been Mac's though.

[Cagefighterkip]

An arial dogfight - boring, we've seen that before.

agreed --
every script review or person talking about Darbaonts draft goes on and on about how good the dogfight is and... i never liked it much, and they did that in LAST CRUSADE anyways. but i loved KOTCS so im biased.

[Doctor Jones]

agreed --

Agreed about the dogfight. It was fine in LC. That would be the third time in a plane. TOD had a plane scene too. When I read that scene in the script, I kept thinking of the Lau charter plane. Or when Marion was shooting I was thinking of Henry Jones Sr. firing off the machine gun in LC. That's not what Indiana Jones is about. Doing things over again. Plus, I think the tone was alot like Raiders. People like that, but I don't want to see another Raiders movie in tone. They're all suppose to be unique in their own way. If you want to see an IJ film like Raiders, go watch Raiders.

[Doctor Jones]

And on a side note: I've only seen Indy 4 once unfortunately, but right now I prefer Last Crusade. But we'll see on Tuesday when I watch KOTCS. I love all of them though.

yes--
thats what makes KOTCS and TOD so good, they're well made but they're DIFFERENT. seems odd people have guffs with those two.

[Doctor Jones]

yes--
thats what makes KOTCS and TOD so good, they're well made but they're DIFFERENT. seems odd people have guffs with those two.

Because they love Raiders so much. They don't like when they see Indy going into different territory with such bizare subject matter. But he's an archeologist for God's sake, he's not going to repeat the same type of adventure. He gets around. I thought of this when Indy was under control of the blood of the Kali in TOD. He's laying there in the dark, surrounded by candles, struggling with the curse. That's where I thought, "Wow, this is so different than Raiders and LC." And then I thought about what other adventures that he could of had. Perhaps even crazier? I just love seeing Indy being thrown into all kinds of different situations.

People always say, "That's not the real Indiana Jones. TOD was too dark. LC was too comedic. KOTCS was too out there." There is no such thing as what the true Indiana Jones is. It's all different kinds of adventures. People didn't like when TOD came out, because Raiders captured their hearts. And seeing him do something like this, was just odd to them. They were expecting something along the lines of Raiders again. But they missed the point. That's not the point. What if TOD came first? Or even KOTCS? People would be comparing or wishing everything was like either of those two films. Raiders just happened to set that tone of what everybody expects or wants from Indy. But they're never going to get that. And most fans can't see this. This is where they're closeminded. They won't accept Indy any other way except the tone of Raiders.

[8wid]

The thing I get from fans of Indy who think Raiders is the best, is that it uses the most logic in how it deals with much of the mythology and action sequences of the film. Raiders chases are much more realistic than going down three waterfalls or using an enormous amount of CGI in order to create backgrounds or techniques they claimed were going to be done the same way they always were.

[Nirvana]

Raiders is obviously the best in the series, and my personal favorite. But honestly, for me at least, ToD, LC, and KotCS are all tied for me. I like them all and I view those three in the same league as each other.

[The Chris]

Yes I believe Raiders is the best too, because it has the best screenplay in my opinion. But they all are so fun, and no matter how much cg or whatever was used in Crystal Skull, it was still old school fun. Things were still executed for the most part in old school ways, at least when it comes to the stuntwork. I kind of get confused whenever people complain about CGI and aliens in this movie because I feel sometimes "Wait a sec, there has been green screen in all four movies, like when Indy and sallah were lifting up the cover to the ark, the cloud and thunder filled sky was green screen. the truck falling off the cliff looked like green screen to me. In Temple, models were used a lot for the cart chase. Green screen used for when the trio is running from all that water, and then not to mention the aerial dog fight's green screen use.I wish I was around to see the reaction to Temple of Doom having hearts getting pulled out of bodies and sail rafts falling out of planes, sliding on snow, then falling down a huge waterfall, with all of them surviving." Then with the aliens, which I had no problem with because of the fact that this was set in the 1950's. I think Lucas and Spielberg would be betraying all the serials they used to watch if they had this set in the 50's but still have it be like 30's serials. Aliens, nuclear bomb testing, russians. I got it. I think some guys were just being a little stingy with this thing. I hope starting tuesday people start having more fun with this thing, because I thought that was the whole point with the indy flicks.

[BatJeff7786]

yes--
thats what makes KOTCS and TOD so good, they're well made but they're DIFFERENT. seems odd people have guffs with those two.

While I think TOD is kinda silly, I do find it entertaining and watchable. The main reason being the sense of danger. TOD has that. KOTCS does not. I never once thought something bad was going to happen to anyone. It all felt like a big joke.

[8wid]

I just think more of the artifacts need to be based off more than those popularized in Western Culture. The Monkey King script is the only one that actual delves into a real Eastern myth. For the films, Sankara Stones don't count because they are not artifacts based on real myth. There should be more than just the Judeo, Christian, Greek or other cultural objects made famous in tales from Europe and the Americas. Where's our Lemuria? Shambala? Imperial Regalia? Even a fictional history behind the Great Wall of China?

[Doctor Jones]

I agree with all of this. I was reading The Making of Indiana Jones about Indy 4. Lucas kept stating that the only way it would work was to put aliens in it. And he was right. You couldn't ignore that stuff then. With everyhting going on then, and not put that stuff in the movie, wouldn't be right. That's what the 50's was all about. The paranoia. The aliens, nuclear wars, Communists, etc. They're still paying homage to B movies. But from the fifties. That's what they've always been.

[Cagefighterkip]

i just hope they do something odd and different and weird w/Indy 5 since that seems to be in "think mode," or on the fast track...

[Dylan17]

I loved the film, it wasn't Raiders by any means (no Indy sequel could ever be either), but I thought it was better than Crusade and enjoyed it just as much, if not a little bit more, than Temple. I can't wait to get it on dvd tuesday. :woot:

On a side note, I found these screenshots (http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=1136&show=screenshots) in blu-ray a couple days ago, as well as some more blu-ray screenshots (http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews42/indiana_jones_kingdom_crystal_skull_blu-ray.htm) via dvdbeaver, are there any other sites uploaded with dvd/blu-ray screenshots yet?

I have a feeling they will try to go back to the original sequel formula to try and appease the people that couldn't stand Indy 4.

[Doctor Jones]

I have a feeling they will try to go back to the original sequel formula to try and appease the people that couldn't stand Indy 4.

My thoughts too. But I loved how they incorporated 50's pop culutre and how everything was going on then. What else haven't we seen from the 50's that can be put in the next film?

[Drizzle]

I agree with all of this. I was reading The Making of Indiana Jones about Indy 4. Lucas kept stating that the only way it would work was to put aliens in it. And he was right. You couldn't ignore that stuff then.
No, he wasn't right. Sure, they couldn't ignore the red scare, but they definitely, DEFINITELY could have avoided aliens.

[Doctor Jones]

No, he wasn't right. Sure, they couldn't ignore the red scare, but they definitely, DEFINITELY could have avoided aliens.

No, because all the aliens/Area 51/Roswell stuff was huge in the 50's. How could you ignore that? Anybody in the 50's who grew up then would tell you the same thing. If he went after a different artifact, people watching it who grew up then would of said, "I remember in the 50's aliens was the biggest thing. Why didn't they have that?" I mean, what other artifact in the 50's can they go after that matches with the time period? Its not like the 30's where you could go after anything you want. The 50's is a new age, changes, new generations, everything. The 50's is that decade where it shaped alot of America.

[scifiwolf]

I think Indy has never been about the pop culture of the period, but archaeology and adventure. That means the aliens could've been avoided. I'm not saying they weren't appropriate, just not a necessity. The Soviets, on the other hand, were a must, just as the Nazis were in the movies taking place in 1930's Europe.

[Nirvana]

Okay, so which stores are having the best deals for Indy? Or rather, what are all the deals for stores?

You're missing the point. He was out of his element and and past his prime in that time period. The 50's is where pop culture set in.

[chaseter]

This movie looks absolutely beaufiful on bluray and has good sound quality. The thing I am pissed about is no deleted scenes...WTF!? We knew they were filmed.

[Doctor Jones]

This movie looks absolutely beaufiful on bluray and has good sound quality. The thing I am pissed about is no deleted scenes...WTF!? We knew they were filmed.

Same here. I really want to see some more scenes between Indy and Marion and other scenes where it made the South America trip longer. Did anyone think the last half of the film was one drawn out action scene? Think about it. escape/quick sand/convoy jungle chase/ant attack/water fall. I would love to see some scenes you can breathe in between them.

But other than that, the movie was alot better the second time.

[chaseter]

Agreed, this movie is just all around better on bluray. It looks way better than it did in theatres and a better movie the second go around.

But no deleted scenes pissed me off:o

[Doctor Jones]

Yep, I enjoyed the opening alot more. But it was my favorite part anyways. The first half of the film is what I craved from for another Indy film. It quenched my longing thirst.

Plus, no commentarry. I know Spielberg doesn't do them or like them, but damn, I would like to hear one of his. Just to get in his mind set on this film. He's my favorite director.

[Cagefighterkip]

watching CRYSTAL SKULL now, and holy she-it, its gorgeous and looks just like the other 3... its a rlly good movie, but absolutely gorgeous cinematography.

I was kinda hoping Lucas would do the commentary...But oh well.

I haven't had time to watch it yet, though.

[Nirvana]

I bought the Two-Disc Set from Best Buy yesterday. The little Crystal Skull bust is extremely cool, it looks great on my shelf. The only problem I have is with the gift card...seriously, $25 for everything that's close to $400?

Any ways, i watched the movie twice yesterday and watched all the features. I have to say the features on this DVD were way more interesting than the features on Iron Man.

Yeah, from what I've seen so far, the special features are awesome. I've watched most of it. Saving the rest for tomorrow. But it made me very surprised with alot of practical stunts and such. I knew that, but just seeing everything done that way makes me thanking God we didn't get a digital Indy film.

[Doctor Jones]

watching CRYSTAL SKULL now, and holy she-it, its gorgeous and looks just like the other 3... its a rlly good movie, but absolutely gorgeous cinematography.

I watched it yesterday, and yes, the cinematography is beautiful. Just like Slocomb's. The lighting and the movement of the camera. It makes me so happy. It makes it look so much more consistant with the other films. Which is what they were always going for. I can't wait to watch my marathon on Saturday and seeing the fourth pick up where the third left off all these years. Just think, the last shot in LC of riding off into the sunset, to Indy being thrown out of a trunk. It's like he was never gone for 19 years. :up:

[LostSon88]

My Best Buy had only 3 copies of the 2-disc...and the cases were smashed.

WTF? First my Target sells out of the Iron Man 2-disc, now my Best Buy is running low on KOTCS 2-disc.

I'm gonna need to be on my game when Hulk comes out next Tuesday...Lol.

I would love to see some scenes you can breathe in between them.

But other than that, the movie was alot better the second time.

Yeah I noticed the action scene thing when I saw it in theaters the second time. Kind of reminded me of Temple of doom that way (Where Indy returns from the dark side and it consists of fight with mola ram's flunkies, annual big dude fight mixed with little kid brawl, the mine cart chase, run from water, more fighting with swordsman, and finally the rope bridge.

[The Chris]

To go off subject for a sec, has anyone else heard of the new Indy book, Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead? Here's a synopsis.

"There's no rest for the weary treasure hunter, but that's how Indiana Jones likes it. Fresh from spying for the Allies in the thick of World War II Germany, the globe-trotting archaeologist doesn't need much persuading to join his cohort "Mac" McHale in searching for one of the most coveted of artifacts: the fabled black pearl known as the Heart of Darkness. But the partners in adventure are not alone on their foray into the mysterious jungles of Haiti. German and Japanese agents are in hot pursuit, determined to possess the ebony artifact -- and its secrets -- for their own sinister purposes. And shadowing them all is an infamous voodoo priest, with powers of both diabolical science and black magic at his command.

On a treacherous odyssey across the Island of the Dead, where the legend of zombi looms large, spiders, snakes, and booby-traps will prove the least of Indy's challenges. And capturing the prize will be child's play compared with confronting an enemy unlike any other, whose numbers are legion and nearly impossible to kill -- because they're already dead..."

the difference there was they were in the temple alot longer, so it didnt seem a rush to the end of the film

Yep, I enjoyed the opening alot more. But it was my favorite part anyways. The first half of the film is what I craved from for another Indy film. It quenched my longing thirst.
As much as i enjoyed the opening of the movie, for me the second half of it kept me hooked :hehe:

I'm still not done watching all the features, but i'll bring my comments when i do... i love this movie though, and this weekend i shall have my Indy marathon.. YES I SHALL! :woot:

[I Am The Knight]

Yeah, from what I've seen so far, the special features are awesome. I've watched most of it. Saving the rest for tomorrow. But it made me very surprised with alot of practical stunts and such. I knew that, but just seeing everything done that way makes me thanking God we didn't get a digital Indy film.

Should shut up a lot of the haters who were saying that too much CGI was used...

[Cagefighterkip]

To go off subject for a sec, has anyone else heard of the new Indy book, Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead? Here's a synopsis.

"There's no rest for the weary treasure hunter, but that's how Indiana Jones likes it. Fresh from spying for the Allies in the thick of World War II Germany, the globe-trotting archaeologist doesn't need much persuading to join his cohort "Mac" McHale in searching for one of the most coveted of artifacts: the fabled black pearl known as the Heart of Darkness. But the partners in adventure are not alone on their foray into the mysterious jungles of Haiti. German and Japanese agents are in hot pursuit, determined to possess the ebony artifact -- and its secrets -- for their own sinister purposes. And shadowing them all is an infamous voodoo priest, with powers of both diabolical science and black magic at his command.

On a treacherous odyssey across the Island of the Dead, where the legend of zombi looms large, spiders, snakes, and booby-traps will prove the least of Indy's challenges. And capturing the prize will be child's play compared with confronting an enemy unlike any other, whose numbers are legion and nearly impossible to kill -- because they're already dead..."

sound badass

[Nirvana]

I think today will be the day I start my Indy Marathon. :up:

[StylishHokie21]

I just picked it up on DVD. For some reason, I didn't like it as much the second time around. It's by far the weakest in the series, but it's still watchable. 7/10 from me.

Yep, I'm really excited for this. Mac's back, this time as a good guy. And Indy vs. zombies = badass. I've had an image for awhile with Indy escaping from zombies. Always thought that could be really cool. So I can't wait for this!

[Doctor Jones]

Should shut up a lot of the haters who were saying that too much CGI was used...

Indeed. Just loved seeing Indy that way. Obviously they had to do CG. If the other films were made today, they would use the same thing. We're just not used to seeing an Indy film like that. I'm sure back in '81 when everyone's faces melted/exploded, everyone was like "WTF just happened?" kind of reaction.

[Doctor Jones]

And by the way, was I the only one who though Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko was really sexy in this film?

[DarknessOfDeath]

yeah she was sexy.

[Doctor Jones]

yeah she was sexy.

Thank God I'm not alone on that. I don't know if it was her voice, her figure, or how she just was. But damn, just a woman with power like that is just really sexy to me. :woot:

[The Chris]

And by the way, was I the only one who though Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko was really sexy in this film?

no, i find cate sexy anyway, but especially in this.

[chaseter]

Yes she was extremely hot. I can just imagine Spalko doing some naughty things to me. She was Natalya in Goldeneye hot:o

[Punisher RULES]

I was raving about how sexy Irina Spalko was after I saw the flick back in May and as far as the DVD, I enjoyed it way more on DVD than I did in the theaters. My biggest mistake was to watch Last Crusade for the first time in a long time a day before KOTCS and that wasn't too smart.

[DarknessOfDeath]

Wasn't Famke Janssen in Goldeneye? You sure cate was in it?

[Cagefighterkip]

Wasn't Famke Janssen in Goldeneye? You sure cate was in it?

yes she (famke janseen) was in GOLDENEYE
she was Xenia Onatopp

[DarknessOfDeath]

Then I'll have to get Goldeneye even thoough I've seen it a while ago...cause... mmm thats a great movie. *growls*

[Cagefighterkip]

Then I'll have to get Goldeneye even thoough I've seen it a while ago...cause... mmm thats a great movie. *growls*

it was brosnans best Bond outing imo, but im still not a big fan of Brosnans four flicks... i dig all of Connerys (besides NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN), all of Moore's, LICENSE TO KILL but not Living Daylights, Casino Royale and i dont dig OHMSS too much.

[TLH]

I just picked it up on DVD. For some reason, I didn't like it as much the second time around. It's by far the weakest in the series, but it's still watchable. 7/10 from me.

I agree, minus the part about buying it on DVD. Now that I've had time to sit back and look at the film more objectively, it's actually a disappointment, but if it shows up on TV in five years I will probably watch it.

[Doctor Jones]

Yes she was extremely hot. I can just imagine Spalko doing some naughty things to me. She was Natalya in Goldeneye hot:o

Hahaha! I imagined the same exact thing! Spalko in all black lingerie actually. With that sexy Russian accent. With the sword. Oh, Jesus.

[Nirvana]

Well, I had my Indy Marathon today, and it was awesome. :up:

[chaseter]

Still am pissed for no deleted scenes:o

At least put them in paper format so that we could see them. I have a feeling they are going to re-release all of them on bluray with tons of extra features and deleted scenes.

[War Party]

This movie looks absolutely beaufiful on bluray and has good sound quality. The thing I am pissed about is no deleted scenes...WTF!? We knew they were filmed.

It's a possibility that they'll release deleted scenes and other features with BD-Live.

[Eagle_23]

And by the way, was I the only one who though Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko was really sexy in this film?

Too true. I never thought so before but watching her in this and especially in the special features and such. I gotta say....WOW! :wow:

[Bim]

Well, I had my Indy Marathon today, and it was awesome. :up:
Ur fast! :hehe: i'm hoping to do that this weekend :woot:

I have to srat my marathon tomorrow. I just have to force my brother out of the basement. He hogs the big screen tv down there with his XBox 360. Maybe I'll drug him for about eight hours or so.

Lucky you. My brother and I are the same age. And he never lets me go down there to watch movies on that gorgeous plasma tv. The only way I can force him off is to A. either yell at him B. keep bugging him until he lets me C. If he goes somewhere. D. Hit him over the head with a mallot, knocking him out for eight hours. I don't think I could do the latter though. He would wake up and kick my ass. Damn him and his videogames!

[8wid]

I really wish they will change the name at some point in the future. Indiana Jones and the City of the Crystal Skull sounds so much better to me.

[Knightsaber Priss]

Compared to an instant classic like Raiders of the Lost Ark, this movie sucked donkey balls. Yes, there was humor in the original, but it never descended into hokey slapstick. My God, even the weakest of the bunch to date, Temple of Doom, is vastly more entertaining.

I'm 16. Can't wait to go to college. But I really enjoy high school right now. So much more freedom and indpendence. You're not spoon fed like you were when you were a freshmen or below.

oh yeah
freshman year sucks, but from then on it was great 90% of the time. theres always drama and stupid ***** like that but still its a blast...

cant wait to get outta here and move to jersey.

Yup. I had to work my ass off in freshman year. I was stressed all the time. But compared to this point in the year as a sophmore and freshman, the work is less. And I lost 10 pounds freshman year because of all the stress and work.

[The Chris]

Sophmore year is better. Junior year was kind of stressful for me. Senior year was amazing.

[Doctor Jones]

I heard senior year is really great. Senior skip day, going in later, coming out early. I'll be one of those people. By the end of my junior year, I'll have more than 21 credits plus the classes I'll take in senior year. More than enough. Confirmed from my councler. :yay:

Basically all the work me and my friends needed to do to graduate, we did in junior year. Senior year was full of trips and hangouts, we were all loose, planning what we were going to do. It was great.

i was pretty skinny and i lost like 25lb (weighed about 150 or so), but since i graduated im at like 200 now... blech... but im working out now...

that was me,
i had a lot of credits and only had a couple small classes i 100% had to do in senior year... (i was in a sort of private school so i got to choose classes lol)

and yeah senior year was the balls man,
going out late, going to movies, hanging out, the parental units giving up the key they had to the lock to the ball and chain on my leg :)

with very little drama, smooth friendships and relationships things were smooth -- i miss my senior year in a big bad way.

I've gained some wieght back too. Actually I was wrong, I weighed 140 pounds going into freshman and came out 125 pounds. I way like 129-130 now. I'm still underweight for my age. But I have been working out since the summer.

Can't wait until senior year!

Just watched the DVD, just as good as in theaters.

I gets interested in looking in a fifth Indy so...

1960, at the request of the Kennedy Administration, globe-trotting archaeologist Indiana Jones starts a search for the highly coveted Eye of Oblivion, a fabulous diamond known to command the will of men. However, evil is afoot as the Red Menace seeks to snatch the power of the magnificent jewel for its own diabolical plot to eliminate certain world leaders standing in the path of utter Soviet dominance. From the ice fields of the Antarctic, to the harsh deserts of Syria, the race is on to prevent the greatest power of all time from slipping into the hands of darkness.

but i love the societ dominance angle and the use of the antarctic (i just see the paramount logo becoming an iceberg...)
hmmmm 1960s indy?
something about that seems odd... but who knows, i just hope they get indy5 going soon... i need my indy fix :)

Very interesting. Is the Eye of Oblivion based off a legend or possibly exits? Becasue thats what all the other MaGuffin's were about. Sounds cool. But I don't want to see Indy in the 60's. Whenever I think of the 60's I think of hippies, drugs, flower children etc. Maybe Hippies can be the villains. :woot: But seriously, I would make it a prequel, we don't have to go on with the whole family thing. It could get really corny if they do it again. But put it in 1956 so it will still be perfect for Ford's age.

I finally did my Indy marathon, and i gotta say it was so much fun!! :woot:

My parents both saw Indy 4 and enjoyed it a lot... i found it funny that my mom laughed her butt off at the fridge scene and the monkey swinging scene :hehe:

I also finally got thru all of the extra features on the dvd, very cool stuff there :up: i loved it when Spielberg gave Williams an Indy hat :woot:

Did my marathon yesterday too. :yay: Awsome stuff. The fourth film fits in very well when just completeting the first three. I love how it's so consistant with the other three. It fits in much better than I thought it would. It now definately feels like just another great Indiana Jones adventure/film. :yay:

[블라스]

No, no, no....it's a bad movie, you're just watching it the wrong way!

You're supposed to not have fun while watching it, then say phrases like "Meh it was decent, but..." or "They should have called it 'Indiana Jones and the Old people diapers ROFL!" to make yourself feel clever, then post it on the Internet as if everyone cared about your useless, bitter opinion.

Only then can you review it! ;)

That's the only way to see how your childhood was raped :O

I agree, it fits better than i expected it to. I did find the deaths of Marcus and Henry a lot sadder after watching the first three... i mean one moment they ride into the sunset and the next they passed on :csad:

Doctor Jones: i think he/she is poking fun at the bashers... right? :huh::hehe:

[Doctor Jones]

Doctor Jones: i think he/she is poking fun at the bashers... right? :huh::hehe:

I think so. :huh:

But yeah, it was kinda sad seing them pass on. After just watching the third, and then seeing Henry's picture. I also noticed some nods to the other films

-Shia freaking out underneath the cemetary and seeing the corpses - Nods to Willie and Marion. "It's just a thing."
- After Mutt knocks down the head of the statue of Brody. He smiles and looks at Indy. Indy gives him a disaproving look. Exactly like in LC after Indy killed the biker from ramming the pole in the tire
- Indy saying "This is intolerable!"

I think there were others but that's all I have. Though I noticed all these nods the first time I saw it.

Does anyone else think that Shia overracted when they found Oxley's cell and it shifts to Shia with tears in his eyes and asks in a strange way, "What happened, Ox, man? What happened?" I know this is a father figure to him. And I thought the misty eyes was appropriate but when he says, "Ox, what happened, man? What happened?" Is where it seems iffy to me.

Plus I thought it was funny when Mutt says to Indy, "What are you looking at daddy-o? She's getting away!" I thought of Back to the Future there. :woot:

[블라스]

The more I watch this, the more I love it.

[8wid]

The more I watch this, the more I love it.

I like it much more than the first time I saw it. As you see it more times, the more you observe, the greater you see actually makes it seem more realistic.

[Cagefighterkip]

me too:)

[블라스]

I was kidding, my man....of course I loved the movie ;)
It was just a bit of sarcasm :oldrazz:

:hehe: i really liked the knocking down the head of Brody's statue one... it was indeed very much like LC and i laughed my butt off.

The daddy-o bit was funny too, i think Harrison and Shia had good chemistry, and that made their scenes together fun.

Oh and i gotta say, i still love the diner fight scene :hehe:

[cerealkiller182]

^^Agree 100%

the diner was classic. And I did like Shia and Harrisons chemistry. I think they made Mutt do too much. They were more like partners than hero and sidekick except for maybe the cemetary. If INdy 5 does happen i dont want Mutt to be lost but i want the hero and sidekick dynamic reestablished. The whole partner aspect is what sparked the passing the torch talk and a lot of people (at least on these board) seem to have a negative predisposition to Shia, who I think has had a very entertaining career thus far.

[DorkyFresh]

finally got to see this movie....it was better than i thought it would be, but admittedly my expectations were lowered by everyone else's reviews. there were a few things i didn't like and one thing i REALLY didn't like (Indy surviving a nuke) but overall i really liked this film and i think it fits well as Indy's last hurrah. i honestly wouldn't want another Indy flick after this, but i LOVED how they involved the aliens.

[GhostPoet]

I still consider it my 2nd favorite film in the series.

[I Am The Knight]

I'm finally sitting down to watch this tonight. It will be 2nd Indy IV viewing.

Will post my thoughts.

I'm glad you liked the aliens. Actually, they're interdimensional beings. They're not from outer space.

Hey, at least they never said the word, "aliens." :yay:

That was one of the things that really worked for me. Like LC, what made the film for me was Harrison and Connery's chemistry. I'm really glad they made it work again.

The diner scene was great. Great atmosphere and music. "Get that Greaser!"

I remember, in the theater, everybody laughed at the right parts.

"My son? Well why the hell didn't you make him finish school?!" :woot:

[Doctor Jones]

"You're not picking a fight dad... dad... dad... daddy-o..." lol i love BTTF...

Exactly. :woot: And props for liking BTTF! :up:

[Doctor Jones]

I like it much more than the first time I saw it. As you see it more times, the more you observe, the greater you see actually makes it seem more realistic.

Yep. The rocket sled? I first thought it was made up. But actually in the 50's they strapped people to rocket sleds and sent them 200 mph down a track. And I also was relieved they called it Hanger 51 instead of Area 51.

Speaking of which, when anybody first saw Raiders, did anyone think the warehouse was Area 51?

It was great while watching my marathon. At the end of Raiders in the warehouse, its a really cool feeling now knowing where and what it is and knowing that in 20 years, Indy will have to visit and escape it. You see the ending credits in the warehouse, and you just imagine Indy running across the crates and escaping the Commies. You can't think of that ending without the opening in KOTSC now.

Hey, at least they never said the word, "aliens." :yay:

i consider interdimensional beings "aliens" hehe. i'm sort of biased though because i actually believe that aliens have been watching us longer than we think they have and that they've interacted with past civilizations...so it's as if Spielberg was catering towards that belief in this movie.

That's why I liked how they handled the aliens in this film. They just didn't come from outer space and were your average saucermen or aliens with green skin. They actually had been apart of shaping history thousands of years ago in South America. That really made it work for me. If it was just your average alien, I might have problems with it.

I never would of guessed. I actually didn't really think about it. That's what was so cool about the mystery of it. Though I have no problems with the reveal now.

[Doctor Jones]

im glad they arent doing BTTF Part 4 anymore though

Thank God for that.

[Cagefighterkip]

Thank God for that.

i dont think they could do it now like they are w/all the others (rambo/rocky/indy/mcclane etc)...
like how could they, it'd feel weird i think if the primary date wasn't still 1985 w/marty going through time yknow? and they played doc brown older, you'd think hed be dead lol. leave the trilogy alone thank god

True. I felt the film could only work in that year.

[Cagefighterkip]

itd be weird if it was 2008 --
just wouldnt work imo --

on a more indy related note, who wants to POST SCREENCAPS of their FAVE SCENES in Indy4??? thatd be cool of people

[Bim]

Speaking of which, when anybody first saw Raiders, did anyone think the warehouse was Area 51?
I actually never thought about it... i just figured it was some secret wharehouse, but i never thought of Area 51 *kicks herself*:hehe:

Oooh screencaps, that should be fun!... i'll have to make a few and get back to u :woot:

i remember being kinda little watching it for the 1st time my dad was kinda explaining stuff i didn't get (i was only 5) and bassically said it was area 51, so ive always thought it was area 51

The weird thing is it could not have been Area 51 because Groom Lake was not opened until 1956. I thing the first warehouse is in New Mexico, and then later moved to Nevada.

One thing I never get is why Mutt's character is expected to have a series, when Short Round is the one who actually follows in Indy's footsteps.

Lucas confirmed there won't be a spinoff series of Mutt. Thank God for that.

[The Dude]

Lucas confirmed there won't be a spinoff series of Mutt. Thank God for that.

And there was much rejoicing *yay*

[Watson]

Thank the lord. Mutt isn't intersting enough to warrant his own series.

Sides what will they do when they get to the eighties? Mutt Williams and the Flock of Seagulls?

[GhostPoet]

tha's good. But what about confirmation of a new Indy? =(

[Lord Valumart]

i got the dvd today and couldn;t wait to get home to watch it...

i still freakin love this movie:indy:

[Cagefighterkip]

tha's good. But what about confirmation of a new Indy? =(

george lucas is working on it, harrison ford said lucas and the 'berg are in "think mode." so itll prolly happen.

[Doctor Jones]

Thank God. We need to see an Indy 5 before Ford's 70. Christ, he's almost there. Can you believe it?

[Dylan17]

Thank God. We need to see an Indy 5 before Ford's 70. Christ, he's almost there. Can you believe it?Judging by Indy 4, I would have never thought he was as old as he was by his energy. :D

[Cagefighterkip]

had i not known his age and some1 asked me what my guess was as to how old he was, id have said mid 50s

Judging by Indy 4, I would have never thought he was as old as he was by his energy. :D

agreed

[Doctor Jones]

When I saw the first trailer for Indy 4 I thought he looked incredible for his age.

And you know when my heart stopped? The first time I saw that shot of Indy running across the crates and cracking his whip and swinging across the warehouse.

I was like, "Good Lord! Indy's freaking back!"

Then you realized it was the stuntman......

[Doctor Jones]

Then you realized it was the stuntman......

Uh-huh. Sure it was.

[Cagefighterkip]

harrison did all his own stunts in that scene, watch the special features on the discs, or look at the KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL book...

[블라스]

Haha owned.
Indy rocks :up:

[Bim]

Judging by Indy 4, I would have never thought he was as old as he was by his energy. :D
Agreed, he looked fantastic.

Even Spielberg says in one of the features on the dvd that Harrison has at least 10 more years to do movies like this, because he could do his stunts so well. Personally i was impressed with the whole Area 51 stuff :woot:

[I Am The Knight]

Lately I've been thinking that they shouldn't do another one.

KOTCS bookended the story. Indy finally settled down with his true love, Marion, and the last scene pretty much tells us that he's the one and only Indiana Jones.

I wouldn't mind another one, though, because I love this series.

[Bim]

Well, I Am The Knight, he rode into the sunset on the third one, so i never though Indy 4 could be made, and look at what happened :woot:

Personally, if they come up with a good story i'm all for it. I love the series too :indy:

LOL, you're right. I forgot about the Last Crusade ending. Oh well. Bring on Indy V :o :woot:

[Cagefighterkip]

Bring on Indy V :o :woot:

agreed
:indy:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I hope we do get to see another Indy, I am all for it, because though I loved Indy 4, I feel they can improve on it with another one, but they need to get rid of the alien ****, it just didnt seem Indy's style.

[DarknessOfDeath]

Anyone watched the young indiana jones series? Elizabeth Hurley was a guest star on one episode. She was Indy's first love. :heart: Her last scene with Indy made me cry. :( *holds self together* okay... it was a touching scene too.
