Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[cerealkiller182]

During the "Come on, genius" scene, a kid behind me said "Like National Treasure 2!" when the stone Indy was on tilted forwards. Sadly, I had just watched NT2 on a plane ride to LA last weekend and was thinking the same thing...

my little brother asked if he could borrow my Indy movies before he saw the 4th. I think someones telling them. Nickolodeon and Disney im sure have covered behind the scenes action.

Okay... I was deeply touched when I read this from Zombie's post off of the JCForums...

Crystal Skull is about a man with nobody--his dad is dead, his old friend (Brody) is dead and his new friend (Ray Winston) betrays him and leaves him for dead--finding family again. Its about him unwittingly becoming a mentor figure to a lost, angry young man without focus in his life, being reunited with the only major love of his life and then finding out that he has a son and that the boy he has been mentoring is in fact that very son. The film is about a fractured family finding itself after being split apart for twenty years and finally coming back together--ending with the wedding scene that caps this point. At the beginning of the movie Indy has nobody and at the end of it he has found a family. Thats a pretty poignant touch.

Can this make the most money domestically of the Indy Movies. By my estimates By this next monday indy 4 should Jump over Temple Of Doom and Last Crusade.
Domestically Indy 4 is 159 Million and is about 7 million on Tuesday which should be the amount dayly until Friday.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Personally I loved how they gave Mutt a fear too! Rats, Snakes and now Scorpions!

 

[BloodyWolverine]

Well i am not sure it was actually Scorpions but teh fact it was crawling on him and stung him.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Indy wasn't afraid of snakes 'til they were crawling on him either. I hope this hate for Scorpions continues.

i find myself wondering if the gophers had any significant meaning. like, was it a nod to Caddyshack or something??

also, what was the deal with Marion still holding onto that damn steering wheel like she was driving, after they already crashed??

 

[DACrowe]

Well they didn't have that "gross out scene" unless you count the ants...but they were CGI and not nearly as creepy crawly as real snakes, bugs and rats in each respective film. BTW Indy IV will make the most unadjusted. Adjusted Raiders made over $600 million, Temple made nearly $400 million and Crusade made well over $300 million.

For humor's sake. You fall off three waterfalls ina row, see how easy you let go of what you used to brace yourself with.

I wish they had kept the line in the screenplay for that moment, something like:

MARION: You look terrible.

INDY: It's not the mileage honey, it's the years.

 

[Rezzo]

how long y'all think it'll be before a 5th film?

Well Spielberg will be tied up for quite a while so if there is to be a fifth film then it's probably gonna take a while.

 

[The Green Goblin]

The Fridge scene does not bother me. Its Indiana Jones, rafts from airplanes, crawling under trucks, gunshot, with no sleep or food, THE SUBMARINE!, jumping tracks in mine shafts etc.. Its comics/pulp/serials stuff! Sheesh.

Didn't care for the vine swinging scene , of course, but keep in mind, this is also a kid's movie and as a kid. I would have probably loved that.

What did bother me was the script, some of the lines just flat, and the skull plot was confusing and convaluted. Wonder what that Darabont script was like. Where are you Mr Kasdan?

I don't think this movie should have been made, (Crusade was perfect ending!) but that being said , KOTCS was still a fun, nostalgic ride.

7.5 out of 10.

Oh yeah, Cate was HOT!

and although shia laPOOF was not bad, (surprisingly) i would have preferred Indy had a DAUGHTER

 

[Spider-Vader]

how long y'all think it'll be before a 5th film?

Probably after Lincoln, if Spielberg ever gets that off the ground. That movie could of came out last year if Spielberg really cared.

I'm pretty sure Lucas will make a plot soon.

The Fridge scene does not bother me.

I smell a future mythbuster's episode

 

[That'ssuper!]

I say he should be in the hunt for a living dinosaur.

Spoiler

Someone WILL die

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I say he should be in the hunt for a living dinosaur.

that would be interesting...hmm

An incredibly far-fetched idea.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

An incredibly far-fetched idea.

i like the dinos

Indiana Jones and the Land Before Time

Indy befriends a little dino kinda like Ducky..

 

[spideyboy_1111]

holycrap.... thats totally how i see lucas

 

[Rezzo]

i like the dinos

Indiana Jones and the Land Before Time

Indy befriends a little dino kinda like Ducky..

That just sounds so incredibly funny and I'm getting an incredibly funny image in my mind.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

yeah... Lucas is always way over his head. Sometimes I wish he could shut up...

 

[spideyboy_1111]

It's ridiculous. No one blamed Lucas for all of the things they didn't like in the past Indy movies, but NOW, for everything they didn't like in Indy 4,

does Spielberg get blamed?

NO

does David Koepp get blamed?

NO

does Jeff Nathanson get blamed?

NO

None of the other 3 producers take any flack from this here.

Ok, I know WHY people are doing this...Lucas is an easy target. A lot of people seem to pick up on how he operates, but I can't see how that justifies where he's just taking hit after hit for every shortcoming this movie had.

I just wish they knew that they are not being fair and not being rational thinkers. Lucas could've been responsible for what they did like in the movie and he'd never get credit for that. Any positive feedback would probably go right to Spielberg or Spielberg alone.

-TNC

except thats totally when lucas was a credit worthy person.... and not a "lets revamp the sacred trilogy, pretend the original version didn't exist... and then make horrible prequels, past 10 years lucas has done nothing but disappoint and piss off fans. why take the heat off him now?

 

[chaseter]

This is hilarious but they weren't gophers...they were prairie dogs.

actually if im not mistaken that was a nod to Raiders..... i believe she drove a car and couldn't let go of the steering wheel after.... if not then it was a nod to another movie cuz i remember that before in something
