I thought it was pretty crap to be honest. It was slow paced, the action didn't have half as much energy as the previous films, it seemed to me Spielberg and Lucas lost touch with what they had originally created. This was no doubt due to the huge time gap between them. The whole movie seemed like a second rate sci-fi flick with Indiana Jones chucked in for the hell of it. I went into the cinema really looking forward to seeing this and was totally underwhelmed. Fair play to Harrison Ford, I still enjoyed him as Indy, but it was like watching Indiana Jones in slow motion at some points.

I loved it. The movie is Awesome.

It's just as cheesy and unbelievable as the others.

And it's just as fun and exciting as the others.

Things that are different: It's very 50's. There's a lot of CGI. And there's a lot more characters.

Because I love Indian Jone so much...I was hoping that they'd set it up for another one, but they didn't. But now that I think about it...[SPOILER] Him getting married to Marion and having a son [/SPOILER]...is the perfect end to the series, and I'm just glad I got to see another one. And I also liked how it was the perfect bookend to the series by its mentioning of things that happened in Young Indiana Jones.

As for how it ranks among the others. I'm not sure. I believe it's impossible to fully appreciate a movie after only seeing it once. So I'll get back to you on that.

I think this will be the last.

Whether or not Shia will be given his own franchise remains to be seen, but Lucas and co specifically said they'd make more if people wanted it, and if thats what we'd get no-one would want it.

Only if he has a stand alone film will I accept it.

Anyway..

I loved it. Watch all four films in a day and bar the obvious visual changes you wouldn't see much of a difference. To me, it felt like an Indy film.

The music was great.

The action was well divided - the plot and action was well integrated.

It was funny.

It made sense - the Mayan Alien theory is real, for anyone mulling over a retort.

Harrisson still has the Indy glint in his eye.

The new characters worked well.

I really enjoyed the ride, and I'm putting this as one of the most enjoyable films of the year, along with Cloverfield.

I dug it. It wasn't perfect, but I dug it. Some seriously REDICULOUS moments, but I feel the good STRONGLY outweighed the bad. So yeah, it's not without its faults, but all-in-all, it was an enjoyable ride that left me smiling in the end. I could just do without the refridgerator and monkey scenes.

i really really liked this movie. it was fun, entertaining, action packed, great effects, and INDY!!!!

i really liked the choices the filmmakers have made. lets review, the first 3 were taken place in the 30's. during this time B Movies back then featured alot of supernatural elements. spielberg and lucas wanted to recapture that feeling. now were in the 50's and this is a time where sci-fi B MOVIES were very popular. so its only natural that they wanted to capture that esence of the 1950's film genre.

overall i really loved this movie, its worthy to have in my DVD collection when the time comes. however the one thing i was disappointed in was the lack of emotional heart between marion and indy, but other than that it was noice!

Right up until the 13 aliens scene, i LOVED this movie.

My main problem is all the ridiculous CGI at the end, and the fact that it turned from an Indy movie to an X-Files movie in a matter of minutes.

Don't get me wrong, i thought the CGI and even the Mayan alien storyline were great... in any other movie. But , this is goddamn Indiana Jones. Aliens? Come on...

I've spent alot of time researching the Mayan civilization and have even made several treks down into the area to visit ruins and so forth. I know the Crystal Skull legend very well, I've even been in the ruin where they supposably found one of the skulls. Unfortunately they made alot of errors and omissions on the legend. However, its a movie and they can change the story if they want, artistic license, I accept that.

I've been waiting for this films for years and have been wanting someone to do a cyrstal skull movie since long before word of indy 4. This was a disapointment on the cyrstal skull front but it was a great indy film up until the aliens. When the ship was lifting off (and even before) I had x-files flashbacks and had to mentally pinch myself to see if I was dreaming this horror.

What happened? Honestly?!? Everything these days is horror and scifi and I think they were just doing what has been working for other films. Unfortunately they forgot this is indiana jones, an archeologist, not fox mulder, an FBI agent chasing little green men with a badge and a gun. I love Scifi as much as anyone, I've got the Stargate and StarTrek uniforms and the whole bit but if I want that then I'll pop in the SG or ST DVDs and enjoy. But when I see a Indy movie I want to invest some thought and see some history, however twisted it might be. There are still plenty of us that enjoy a good thought provoking movie without the scifi. For those people this movie lacked something.

I guess there is always one good thing. It wasn't worse then Temple of Doom, thank God!

WHAT.....THE......F***!!!
!!!!!!

K honestly, i read every single one of those posts and i agree with some of yu.

A. The part with Indy finally having a family and Mutt was his son was good. I liked that part.

B. Tying in some elements from the trilogy was sood too and also the acting.

NOW........

This was NOT, and i repeat NOT an Indiana Jones movie. 20 f***en years and this is all they could come up with? F***en ALIENS?! DAMMIT!

This just seals everything that Lucas cant do a movie without incorporating that gay ass Star Wars element of having Aliens. Koodo's you ruined the franchise. And i know im not the only one feeling this way. At the end of the movie, most people looked like they just got punk'd by being shown a joke movie.

20 years. 20 damn years! 20 years wasted by lucas and through all the scripts that were presented to him, he picked the most stupidest one with Aliens. HOLY S***!

Now i want you people t know that i did not have any expectations for this movie, cause i wanted to see this next week, but i got off early today and caught the 7pm show, and wow i was let down. I actually enjoyed FF2:Rtss more.

Why, oh why couldnt they just make the movie with Darabonts script!

I still find it hilarious nobody suspected the alien thing coming. I mean......both Spielberg and Lucas said they wanted to have a very 1950's feel to it, and the 50's are very well known for their big sci-fi stories and such.

Something else I find hilarious is people always blame Lucas, when Spielberg is equally to blame. He could have said no, he could have made changes (he has the right as a director), or if push came to shove, he could have just not made the film. SO if you hate this film, blame both of them, as well as everyone else involved since they all obviously contributed by agreeing to make the film after reading the script. In fact, the alien presence felt more like something out of Close Encounters than Star Wars, so I wouldn't be surprised if Steven himself was the one who came up with that angle, or possibly even a joint idea.

Now I for one, really enjoyed the film, and thought the sci-fi elements were handled very well. It was still linked enough in archeology that it still felt classic Indy. The humor was great, the action was just as great as ever, and it had great suspense.

I'm sorry, but the moment you have people controlling other's minds with blood, have an ark that can kill all who look upon it with flying spirits, or even a grail with the ability to grant eternal life, anything can go. Why is it so hard to go from all of that fantasy to aliens?

I had a great time seeing it tonight, and I plan on going back again for another viewing.

I was starting to think I was the only person who thought this lol.

I wouldn't put all the blame on Lucas though. As someone else said, Spielberg was the director and he could've said no to some of the stuff. And that was the reason for the huge delay for this film in the first place. Lucas pitched the Crystal Skull story years ago, but Spielberg and Ford didn't like it. It's really their fault we got X-Files meets Indiana Jones for finally agreeing to it.

Saw it last night and I loved it

I hope they don't do an Indy 5, seeing as they've brought it round full circle with all the links they made and loose ends they tied from Raiders.

But yeah, it was very good considering what they were following.

I'd say it's the third best Indy film,

1 - Last Crusade
2 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
3 - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
4 - Temple of Doom

I liked how it kept making references to the original trilogy and Star Wars (which is something they did in the original movies too), just to remind you that this wasn't just any action film, it was Indiana Jones and just from that you know it's gonna be good.

One thing I was annoyed about is that I cannot recall, during the entire film, anyone actually saying the name "Indiana Jones"

I remember them saying "Indy" "Dr. Jones" "Henry Jones Jr." etc. but not "Indiana Jones" which I'm a little dissapointed at, but not that much.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted on CD... a long while... but I came back to see what other people thought of Indiana Jones.

I saw it last night-
and well... I hated it.

I think we should leave the aliens to Scully and Mulder, and the Indiana Jones series as a trilogy.

As far as I'm concerned, this last movie doesn't exist. And that's just my opinion...I know some critics (and so it seems a good bunch of you all) really liked it... I'm just not buying it.

Sad day for this Indy fan.

What kills me about some of you people is what you are willing to believe and what you aren't.

In Raiders, the ARK OF THE COVENANT, as in God's, THE God, Ark of the Covenant murder's Nazi's.

In Temple of Doom, magical rocks protect a village while a Kali worshipping Priest rips hearts out of the chests of people while they are still alive.

In The Last Crusade, the Holy Grail really exists and can give you enternal life.

So absolutely no problem with God existing.

Or magical rocks.

Or Jesus being real.

Or Shiva.

But you have a problem with aliens (technically they weren't even aliens, they were inter-dimensional beings)?

Who really thinks we are alone in this universe?

I think it's far easier for people to buy into the existence of aliens than the idea that Jesus is the son of God for an example.

Not to mention, this whole movie is based on an actual theory that some (very few but they're out there) scientists happen to prescribe to.

The idea that the God's of old for many civilizations were actually aliens. For an example, did you know that a modern day crane cannot lift a single stone block from the Pyramid's in Giza? Yet we're supposed to believe that it was built with rope, wood, and pulley's?

I just think the whole theory and this particular story was right up Indiana Jones' alley.

I can't really see what's wrong with aliens in an Indy film. It works, the films have always had that supernatural aspect and they decided to go with the whole Roswell legend.

In the world of Indiana Jones, anything goes.

Not to mention, this whole movie is based on an actual theory that some (very few but they're out there) scientists happen to prescribe to.

The idea that the God's of old for many civilizations were actually aliens. For an example, did you know that a modern day crane cannot lift a single stone block from the Pyramid's in Giza? Yet we're supposed to believe that it was built with rope, wood, and pulley's?

I just think the whole theory and this particular story was right up Indiana Jones' alley.


Exactly, I swear some people have a weird way of looking at things. Again they'll say that the original films, with an ark that can kill people with flying spirits or a man who can rip out your heart and leave you still alive long enough to lower you slowly into a pit, or a cup that can give ever lasting life are believable but not beings that aren't from this world.

Amazing.

Caboose: Your a thing that babies suck on....

Tucker: No dude, you mean a pedophile.

Church: Tucker, I think he means a pacifier.

Tucker: Oh...yeah....right....man my mind was totally somewhere else.

Church:.....that's real classy Tucker.....

What kills me about some of you people is what you are willing to believe and what you aren't.

In Raiders, the ARK OF THE COVENANT, as in God's, THE God, Ark of the Covenant murder's Nazi's.

In Temple of Doom, magical rocks protect a village while a Kali worshipping Priest rips hearts out of the chests of people while they are still alive.

In The Last Crusade, the Holy Grail really exists and can give you enternal life.

So absolutely no problem with God existing.

Or magical rocks.

Or Jesus being real.

Or Shiva.

But you have a problem with aliens (technically they weren't even aliens, they were inter-dimensional beings)?
