just back from the cinema. my son and I went to watch this today and I must say I really enjoyed it. Considering Harrison is getting on a bit - he is still pretty cool.

watching trailers - next film I want to see - Kung Fu Panda - looks hilarious.

anyway that is the excitement over for my weekend - carry on

Just seen it.

Um, not sure what to make of it - it may be on a par with Temple of Doom.

The plot got kinda lost in all the action.

I liked all the subtle references to the Star Wars movies and to Back to the Future.

I heard on the radio that the ending was a little wierd...but I'm sure it'll be worth a watch.

I have downloaded Iron Man, but not got round to wacthing it yet.

The middle's good. The start's a bit ropey, and the ending... Nah.







<spoilers>







Indiana Jones lives in the real world, or always used to, so I didn't like psychics, space aliens, magnets that inexplicably attract lead and some steel but not most, being blown for miles through the air in a fridge and escaping without a cut... All things which could have been removed or written around without hurting the film.

But the middle bits where it's just being Indy not the X-files, is pretty damn good. Especially once Harrison Ford remembers how to be Indy, in the first bit in the warehouse he just doesn't seem right at all.

I did enjoy it, but it's not a patch on Raiders or the Last Crusade, Indy's always been silly but not ridiculous, funny but not slapstick.

Ironman is one of the best comic book adaptations I have seen. Definitely worth it

Agree with Northy - I enjoyed it but they did (unnecessarily) push the boundaries a bit too much at times!

It's good for what it is, (very) light entertainment. My daughter and nephew are 11 and 12 and they loved it. It's Indi but a bit polished

That skull must have cost £3.99 to make

Aye, but that's all mythology rather than science fiction, one fits in the film, one doesn't.

there are (or were) tribers out there with elongated skulls & there are (or were ) tribes out there that believe that their gods came from "up there" in distant galaxies - surely that's mythology to some extent also!!! ;o)

Aye, fair point. Suppose what I'm really saying is it shouldn't have been in the film because I say so :cool: But I'm right :D Indy and spaceships don't mix.
