Why Does George Lucas Always Have To Ruin His Sagas?

[BatmanFilmUnlim]

First Star Wars, now Indiana Jones. And you'd think someone with millions of dollars could put together a movie with good special effects and an effective story, but no. Give it up already George. And shame on Steven Speilberg and David Koepp as well for Indy 4.

Duhh.. Because it's clearly what we wanted to see..

Can you HONESTLY tell me that Jar Jar Binks wasn't a fitting, and very deserving addition to the Star Wars universe?

Like someone said in a different thread, the man used to be a visionary, now he's just a pimping out his work.

Star Wars 1-III were ******** I hated all three, even ROTS.

I gave KOTCS 8/10... that movie is awesome.

The prequels was blasphemey for sure, but the latest Indy movie wasn't that bad, or as bad as what people trying to perseve it as. It was still a fun flick to watch and granted it wasn't as good as Raiders or Crusade, but it sure wasn't as ****tious as Attack Of The Clones either.

It's Lucas' mythos and basically what he says, goes. I would have liked to have seen Salah back, but that's another story.

Lucas hasnt ruined his sagas imo, so to each their own

Why Does George Lucas Always Have To Ruin His Sagas?

because he simply forgot how to make good movies

 

[turtlefocker]

If you didn't like KOTCS than you are not an Indy fan.

 

[french joker]

does "Indy fan" means to you "person who waited so long for a new Indy movie that he can see how awful the new movie is" ?

I'm a Indy fan. I hated KOTCS.

Jesus, I am so tired of this

Well then your standards were far to high. Go back and watch the originals any flaw that KOTCS has so do both of the earlier sequels.

As 888 said,

"Spielberg should realize that the obsessively analytical youth of today is far too cynical for anymore indiana jones adventures. they're so compelled to prove how smart they are by pointing out the "flaws" in the flick that they never thought about the possibility that some scenes are intentionally silly or outlandish, like the old classic serials and b-movies this franchise is based on. I shudder to think what would have happened if "temple of doom" was released in the internet age."

Even Raiders has flaws, all the Jones movies do. They're fun serial adventures. Spielberg didn't forget how to make good movie - you forgot how to enjoy them.

Except for one huge flaw....[BLACKOUT]ALIENS[/BLACKOUT].

I thought KOTCS was okay, but it didn't capture the magic of the originals. But its flaws were definitely on Lucas's hands because he came up with the story.

With "Star Wars", he definitely tread some dangerous with Episodes I and II. But he definitely redeemed himself with "Revenge of the Sith". That saved "Star Wars".

of course they have flaws, of course they're fun serial adventures. But KOTCS just didn't get that. Spielberg forgot how to make a good movie.

How do you explain that i hated Indy4 but still enjoy the trilogy ?

 

[Apollo]

Soon he is going to make a crappy sequel to Howard the Duck and ruin what ever dignity that movie has!!



but i liked Revenge of the sith, and some of I and II. i still yet to see the new Indiana jones flick.. so why am i getting upset!

 

[Matt]

Isn't it obvious?

Spielberg is still top of his game - Minority Report, Catch me if you Can, Munich, Indy 4.

-

Because you saw them when you were less cynical so they hold a special place in your heart.

 

[boydston_14]

I liked KotCS. And the SW prequels (though not nearly as much). Whatever.

 

[JackBauer]

Did I step into a time warp to 1999? Wasn't the whole "Lucas raped my childhood" overplayed then?

Haha I know, these people are unbelievable

 

[Apollo]

just imagine is Lucas directed Kingdom of the crystal skull...i wonder if it would be any different...

 

[Batspider77]

I can´t hear it anymore.....ok the SW Prequels are not flawless but they are still good Movies with a very good storyline and ROTS is the second best SW Movie to date in my opion......and when it comes to the new Indy Film i must say it´s a great Action-Adventure Movie in the same style then the first three films,theres nothing wrong with it.

"Minority Report" was worse than all of the Star Wars prequels.

I feel that for those who grew up with the first 3 Indy films had high expectations for the 4th one and as it turned out, to them it wasn't what they thought it would be and I don't blame them. Everyone has their own opinion based on their experience of viewing the films in a different light but when it comes down to Indy4, its another story.


For me, when I heard there was going to be another Indiana Jones movie, I wasn't really that excited - I mean I didnt' put too much thought into the idea cause I stayed away from spoilers and such but it didn't stop me from knowing who was returning and who wasn't.

I grew up watching the first Indiana Jones movies and my appreciation for Harrison Ford grew because of the way he defined the character and I can't see anyone else as Indy but Ford himself. Im glad he came back for KOTCS and it was a great honor to have the chance to see him as Indy for the first time since I never got to see the first 3 in theaters. I was born in 1983.

I wasn't expecting anything more, new or different regarding over the top action cause thats what the first three had and I didn't mind what the new one had. There wasn't a whole lot I was expecting to be in this movie but to me its just Indiana Jones on one of his many adventures.

Having Marion back felt I was watching an Indiana Jones movie and the moment she showed up, everything about her and her past with Indy brought back memories. :heart:

Now Im not saying KOTCS was the better of the three but is it perfect? No. The other three are't either and what movie is perfect? I am one who can see its flaws but when I watch the movies, I just look past those flaws and enjoy the movies for what they are and leave it at that. I don't see myself wasting my time on here in a middle of a flame war. Its not worth my time and it sure as hell not any fun.

Give or take... you either love or hate it but keep in mind that not everyone will have the same mind set and agree with everything within an agrument/defence.

Nor do I expect others to read my post and agree to what I am trying to convey.

Anyway... I must shower.

 

[deathshead2]

I didn't like Indy either. It didn't feel like a Speilberg movie, and it was boring.
