Yep, this time I'll be reviewing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Before I get to that I thought I'd mention a few more movies I hope to be seeing and reviewing in the near future. They include but are not limited to, The Strangers, You Don't Mess With the Zohan, and Hancock. I also will take the time to say I am a little disappointed that no one has left me feedback yet. But then, I'm probably the only one reading these at this point anyway, and I'm not going to give myself feedback. That's just weird. Anyway, on to the movie.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
Seen on: May 25th, 2008
At: Tinseltown USA in Medford, OR
With: Collin and Daves
Okay so Collin doesn't ever get to movies on time. And of course we timed this so that basically I got to Medford and we went to the movie. And amazingly enough we made it for the previews and Daves had time to get drinks and popcorn and spill the popcorn everywhere. It was awesome. Then he didn't sit with us, which was weird, but understandable since the theater was packed. Anyway, the movie. I had read interviews or an interview with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg in which they said the plot of the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise would deal with aliens. I assumed they were screwing with us and just didn't want to give away what the plot was. I was wrong. That's right, Indy 4 is focused around aliens. Pretty weird huh? Granted, it is still fun because it is an Indiana Jones movie, but it gets a little ridiculous in parts. We get new friends, in the form of Shia LaBeouf (or however you spell his name). And we find old friends along the way (Karen Allen). The movie, as most Indy movies are, is full of action and adventure. You have betrayals, and car chases, and fights. You have funny one liners and other jokes. All in all it was an entertaining movie. Was it all that I expected it to be? No. But I think it would've been hard for the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones saga to live up to all our expectations after so many years away. I would like to see it again though to better appreciate it.
