MasterWaffle Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Well, today's the day Indiana Jones IV is out. Anyone else going to see it? I've got my tickets and I can't wait.
Shem Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Well, today's the day Indiana Jones V is out.You mean "IV"? V = 5, IV = 4. Anyone else going to see it? I've got my tickets and I can't wait. My wife and I plan on seeing it on Friday.
MasterWaffle Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 Whoops, I guess I was too distracted watching trailers to remember my roman numerals.
Boba Rhett Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Just got back from seeing it. I need to sleep on it and see it again but right now I'm going to say it's a very fun ride but the weakest of the four by a fair stretch. Some things just confused me, other things upset me and a few things they just didn't tie down and explain well enough.
Jae Onasi Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Nothing can possibly be worse than Short Round or Capshaw whining 'Innnndddddyyyy!!!!'. Please, for those of you who have seen it, make sure to use spoiler tags when you post!!
Aash Li Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 You mean "IV"? V = 5, IV = 4. My wife and I plan on seeing it on Friday. Umm... what was the 4th one? Theres only been three movies until now. I. Raiders of the Lost Ark II. Temple of Doom III. Last Crusade and now IV. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. the Young Indiana Jones series doesnt count as a movie. Im going to see it on friday. Got a free movie pass.
Diego Varen Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I hope to see it this Saturday. Plus, this weekend, I don't have to worry about Doctor Who being on, since Eurovision has taken it over for a week.
mimartin Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I’m going to the Sunday matinee to see it, but first I'm going to watch the three other movies in the series over the next three nights/days to get myself prepared. I’m taking me 13-year old and 9-year old cousins and they have never see an Indy movie. I told them it was Han Solo with a whip and now they are all fired up to see it even though they wanted me to take them to Speed Racer or Iron Man this weekend.
EnderWiggin Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Got my ticket for tonight! Lucky! I was supposed to go see it with my girlfriend tonight, but something came up. So now we can't see it until like next week or maybe even next weekend. And now I'm worried after what Rhett said. _EW_
Jeff Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I saw it at the midnight showing. I really enjoyed it and will probably see it again but it was definitely no Raiders. Some of the dialog was suspect and I just don't know how I feel about the whole alien thing, it was a bit out there But overall very enjoyable. Harrison Ford still kicks ass at 65.
MasterWaffle Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 I've got 6 1/2 hours left until I see it. All I'm hoping for is to be amused, seeing as if I keep my expectations low I probably won't be disappointed. But overall very enjoyable. Harrison Ford still kicks ass at 65. I think Harrison Ford will still be kicking ass when he's 102, breaking bad guys legs with his walker and such. Can you say electric scooter chase?
Fredi Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Great movie ... I saw it like ... 5 hours ago ... I love'd it...
General LiWar Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I saw it at the midnight showing, overall pretty good, it fit the feel of the others. the one part i didn't feel was necessary the alien skeletons forming one alien to destroy whats her face with knowledge
Mav Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I just saw it a couple of hours ago, and honestly in my opinion it wasn't on par with the previous three, although I wasn't expecting it to be either. I will say however that it definitely still had those "Indy moments" and certain parts still had that classic feel, so it was a good movie it just wasn't as great as the previous three.
MasterWaffle Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 I liked it. It was fun. I really wanted to love it, but it was not as great as the others. It just really didn't feel like Indy to me. Spoilered for safety. They really had more of a group dynamic going on. In the other movies it's more of Indy haphazardly kicking ass while the other characters tried to keep up, whereas in this one Mutt kind of took over the action sequences. I wanted Indy swinging like Tarzan and sword fighting the Soviets! The plot was kind of meh in my book. The alien thing was a bit out there, but it didn't ruin the movie for me. It branched off into an area the others didn't. I'll have to see it again before I really figure out what I think of it, but my initial reaction is that it's underwhelming. Not disappointing, but... not what I wanted. It's kind of what I expected.
DarthJebus05 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I totally agree with you there MW. I just got back from seeing it, and it could have been way better. But I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Prime Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I saw it at the midnight showing. I really enjoyed it and will probably see it again but it was definitely no Raiders. Some of the dialog was suspect and I just don't know how I feel about the whole alien thing, it was a bit out there But overall very enjoyable. Harrison Ford still kicks ass at 65. That is pretty much my reaction to it. But overall I really enjoyed it and I think it is a worthy addition to the series. It was fun in a way that I find most action movies aren't these days. I miss this kind of film. And I do like that they aged Indy's personality as well. Overall, great show! As for Moel's spoiler, for some reason I was a lot more accepting when I found out they were from another dimension and not another planet. And for the record, Indy is still better than every other action hero out there.
Jeff Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 As for Moel's spoiler, for some reason I was a lot more accepting when I found out they were from another dimension and not another planet. I agree with you about that, I think another planet would have been too sci-fi-ish but another dimension kind of keeps with the for lack of a better term "powers" of the other movies.
Astrotoy7 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 And for the record, Indy is still better than every other action hero out there. why would they want to be....its pretty cornball stuff for contemporary standards. Nowdays, its mofos and machine guns, not nazis and snakes....and enough with the Nazis already Spielberg....ugh get with the times old man astro
Boba Rhett Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Don't be dissing the Nazis. Those guys are my favorite movie fodder and they were sorely missed by me in KotCS. Russian soldiers are boring and their women scare me because they all look as though they could kick my ass.
MasterWaffle Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Russian soldiers are boring and their women scare me because they all look as though they could kick my ass. And German women can't?
Totenkopf Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Well, maybe the former E. German ones. Will probably see it next month after the crowds die down or are distracted by The Hulk or Batman sequels.
The Seeker Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 And German women can't? Well sure they can, but when they look like Alison Doody...what a way to go. Hottest Indy girl ever still. Blanchett just can't even come close with the angry villain chick look
