And sleep is a code word for .

I'm not sure... the more I hear about it, the more positive I've become over the past few months (tell me if something big happened over the past few weeks, I haven't been paying attention).
Then again, I liked both Insurrection and Nemesis and didn't think First Contact was particularly good (better than Nemsis though).

Anyway, Indy...

Oh my god it's aliens!! Or is it nazis? No, wait, it just Steven Spielberg.

Get some personality and go alone

I did. Twice actually.
For Star Trek Nemesis a couple of years ago, and last weekend for a small amateur movie. That had some friends in it though, so I guess that doesn't really count.

It's a weird experience for sure. Not so much watching the movie itself as not being able to dicuss it afterwards.

Um that single wasn't meant as single but as alone. (Edit: I think I should be more carefull, edited the original post).

Thomas: that's fine, it was really ambiguous expression which started a little misunderstanding.

I don't go OUT to see movies anymore. I saw Indiana Jones 1 and 2 in the theatre, but didn't see 3 until it aired on cable TV. I enjoyed them, but not quite enough to spend money on a DVD.

I will probably see 4 whenever it comes to cable.

I just came back from watching the movie. I'm guessing alternate titles for the movie during production were "Indiana Jones and the Plot Dump of Doom", "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Over-Exposition" or "Indiana Jones and 'Let's Destroy All Mystique!'". The Indiana Jones series has never been much for subtlety or plot, but what it has always had in abundance besides tons of action is atmosphere (well, maybe not so much Temple of Doom...). It's not just that it's only present by accident this one, they're actually going out of their way to destroy it with painful, dragging scenes of exposition. And sevttvat nyvraf. Midichlorians come to mind.

And the car chase/fight scene? Three words: poor chroma keying.

I've done that once. But only because I was stuck in bloody Karlstad and the Swedish army was paying for it.

I've noticed that in quite a few recent films which is strange - you'd have thought it's something they'd have mastered by now, but sometimes I wonder if its more about subtle incorrect perspectives than anything.

Ok I've seen it now.

What can I say? It was certainly different from the other three. Was it entertaining? Yes, very much so. Dit it feel like Indiana Jones? Well...

I liked that they acknowledge Indy is older in many ways. It's a different movie because of that and that's actually good I think. It's not Raiders or Crusade, but we've already seen those movies and with hindsight I'm not sure I would have been happy with a Raiders clone. It would feel too same-ish for me.

I did not like the blatant references to the other movies all too much. Seeing the warehouse was enough, I didn't have to see a deliberate shot of the Arc of the Covenant in a damaged crate to realise that it was there somewhere. It was too much. All of the other movies contain references to the earlier ones (to Raiders, actually, I don't think Temple of Doom is referenced quite so much) but in more subtle ways. Also, "all those women had one flaw: they weren't you" is one of the corniest lines I remember hearing recently.

Then there's aliens. It's not even a plot twist because the point is basically drilled into you the moment you see the skull, or even before when Roswell is mentioned. Not appreciated. I would have bought some hocus-pocus mumbo-jumbo that isn't really explained (we got plenty of that in the other movies too) but I found the aliens to be too contrived. "Space between spaces" my foot.

Overall the editing felt a bit sloppy in places and not all the characters were as well developed as they could have been. Indy junior was ok, Marion wasn't half as fun as she was in Raiders and the guy whose name I've already forgot who walked into Indy's classroom (we called him Marcus Brody-substitute) could have been fleshed out a bit more (as Marcus was). I would have liked to see at least a cameo of John Rhys-Davies as Sallah in the final scene.

I know what you mean. Whenever I watch a movie at home alone in my room, I always have to spend an hour or two reading and writing reviews after I'm done watching it to feel satisfied.

I think that the movie has too many flaws for a movie that was in the planning for so long and that had so many script revamps (or so they said) to end up with this.

The action scenes suit well for a Indiana Jones movie, but then, looks like a bunch of scenes were just thrown to fill the movie run time. The Tarzan thing is ridiculous; the scene in the sand trap seemed like a excuse to to tell people that Indy hates snakes, but in a very ridiculous way.

And then, american writers, concerned about the bad influence of media on younger people, decided that Indy's partner Mack, I think being a bad person, deserves to be punished, so they kill him. But they do it in a REALLY stupid way.

And the whole thing about Indy being a government agent not only is forced but also TOTALLY unnecessary since for the rest of the movie that fact has no relevance at all.

I could keep writing, like for example the part where a moment they are chasing Cate Blanchet, and the next second they're the ones being chased, but I guess you get the idea of what I think about the movie: I expected more.
