Indiana Jones 4

[John83]

Are people looking forward to this? Do you think Lucas is going to ruin another cherished childhood memory? Is Indy all he's cracked up to be in the first place?

I can't say my expectations are all that high.

Who's directing? If it's Lucas then it will be cack, the guy just can't direct or write to be honest.

[John83]

Spielberg's directing, and while Lucas wrote the story, they got someone else in to write the script, David Koepp, whose record isn't bad.

can't bloody wait! :)

Bought the trilogy boxset the other week and have only just realised how crap the temple of doom is. I had to switch off half way through it's that bad.

The Indiana Jones movies are action/adventure movies intended for kids / family entertainment so you can't apply too move scrutiny to the plot.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was an enduring, entertaining movie within that genre.

I think the other two were patchy at best. The last one played for laughs rather than anything of any real substance.

I read that Sean Connery turned down reprising his role as Jones father in this one. It would have turned into an episode of "Last of the Summer Wine" if he hadn't.

Is Jones actually meant to be old in this one? The first one is set in the 40's, the 2nd one is set in the 30's, 3rd one the 40's.........................is this one set in the 50's/60's

[Poor Student]

Yeah, Jones is meant to be 20 years older and it's set in the 50's I think with the Soviets as enemies instead of the Nazis.

[anto1208]

Im looking foward to it , in the same way i wanted to see Rambo leave the brain at the door and just enjoy it.

Reminds me of an Episode of the Simpsons featuring an ad for the new Star Trek Movie:

"Star Trek 54 - So Very Tired" :D

[shakermaker1982]

went to see it last night and it was very average. Fans of the series will love it, for the rest it's a good old fashioned action movie. Unfortunately it doesn't bring anything new to the table - except for Shia's character turning into a monkey.

Or the one where they're previewing a clip of Death Wish 9 with a decrepit Charles Bronson in the hospital bed saying "I wish I was dead." :D

Looking forward to it alright, but also doubt it'll come close to the first one, much as the Temple of Doom or the Last Crusade didn't. Still, nothing at all wrong with a bit of harmless fun. :)

Raiders was a classic of it's type. The 2 follow ups didn't really match it, and there's no reason at all to suppose that 26/27 years after the original Lucas/Spielberg will get any closer to recreating the magic.

I watched the three films recently. Last Crusade is better than you think,a nd a lot of people prefer it to Raiders. Temple is awful at the start but picks up when the action kicks in during the second half.

Ok i saw it tonight!, wasnt as impressed as i thought i would be!!, expected more to be fair!, A few surreal happenings, even by Indy Standards!!, Thought it took too long to get to the point!,ah well some of the effects were good though i have to give them that!, watch out for an early cameo from the Janitor from Scrubs!!

Defo worth a goo, not going to be considered a classic, comes across as having been made to make money off the Indiana Jones name, and not as much effort put in!

[Billsthoughts]

watch out for an early cameo from the Janitor from Scrubs!!

and the whole cinema whispering "its yer man from scrubs"

They've done the Cameo cop thing in another Harrison Ford film 'The Fugitive' in Scrubs already.

Did they leave Hollywood for this film? 'cos the locations in some of the other films made them more interesting. Also, the rehash of some famous stunts in the first film kept it in peoples memory longer. Especially as they get repeated in adverts.

Except for my lady friend who was convinced it was "Yer man from Dancing with the Stars!!" :D

Women!!....

There was lots of little cameos.

The copper from only fools and horses who stitched up Del' Boy. I thought of loads of them during the film can't think of half them now.

Was he? I only twigged that he is who he is! I still stand by what I said on the others though. :)

[stann]

Fairly famous? Letting him off lightly there, Billsthoughts. :D
It's Jim Broadbent FFS!!!
Blackadder, Bullets Over Broadway, Hot Fuzz, Iris, Gangs of New York, The Crying Game, Moulin Rouge, Brazil etc... etc... etc...
God I despair of today's youth, I really do. :p :D

Give a sucker a break brother!

I am a huge fan of the series and thought it was a very good addition to the original trilogy. Not a classic but very enjoyable all the same.
I'd agree with this, having watched it last night. Think it could have done without the first 20 minutes, and I counted at least ten times he should simply have died, but some of the criticisms I read about it - the alien theme being too far fetched (like the Holy Grail being guarded by a 700 year old French monk wasn't?) and too much attention to 50s detail didn't hold up at all. Good fun overall though.

I'm still angry about Teen Wolf 2 and I was eleven at the time. I think I'll never recover.

[tetsujin1979]

I went in with low expectations from all the negative reviews, and ended up quite enjoying it!
