Are you going to see Indiana Jones IV?

[MarkG]

it sucks i tell you

dont make me be more specific and post spoliers!
although i cant see why someone would be worried about spoilers for this movie....

[Dinner]

I thought it was pretty good though not as good as the previous ones.. Certainly entertaining.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Count me in as the good, but not in the same league as the others camp.

As for the ridiculousness of the story.

Well, let's see:
Ark, power of god frying Nazis...check
Magic stone phallic symbol with a diamond inside...not to mention hindus practicing voodoo...Check
Holy Grail real, but power limited to a room, and surrounded by cursed cups...check.

My complaints with it don't fall on the storyline, as it's no more ludicrous than the former ones.

For a more spoiler-rific review, you can follow my sig.

Russia communists see red in new ‘Indy’ film
Party members blast ‘anti-Soviet propaganda’, want ‘Crystal Skull’ banned

MOSCOW - Communists in St. Petersburg on Friday condemned the new Indiana Jones' film as crude anti-Soviet propaganda that distorted history and called for it to be banned from Russian screens.

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" stars Harrison Ford as an archeologist in 1957 competing with an evil KGB agent, played by Cate Blanchett, to find a skull endowed with mystic powers.

"What galls is how together with America we defeated Hitler, and how we sympathized when bin Laden hit them. But they go ahead and scare kids with Communists. These people have no shame," said Viktor Perov, a Communist party member in Russia's second city.

The comments were made at a meeting of the local Communist party and posted on its Internet site www.kplo.ru.

"Our women don't look like Nazis, but maybe Cate Blanchett was threatened by unemployment, so ... she made this film," Perov said.

‘Running dogs of the CIA’
The film, the fourth in the hugely successful Indiana Jones series, went on release in Russian cinemas on Thursday. Russian media said it was being shown on 808 screens, the widest ever release for a Hollywood movie.

"Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett (are) second-rate actors, serving as the running dogs of the CIA. We need to deprive these people of the right of entering the country," said another party member, Andrei Gindos.

"The film is low-quality and would raise a smile if there wasn't a danger of drawing into its orbit teenagers who know nothing about the 1950s," Vladimir Mukhin, another member, said in comments on the Internet site.

Mukhin said he would ask the Culture Ministry to ban the film for its "anti-Soviet propaganda."

"Indians and aliens unite with Jones and his untrustworthy buddies to save the world from a Russian threat — what rubbish, simply a paranoid Churchillian fantasy," Mukhin said.

I can see at least one true paragraph in there...

[Riesstiu IV]

Why are Russian communists still shocked that an American action movie has anti-communist sentiments?

[MOBIUS]

This movie is the biggest heap of bile going...

Spielberg movies can be ****, but Lucas has raped its soul.

Think the Phantom Menace compared to the originals, you get my drift?

RIP Indy, it was nice knowing you.

-10/10

if that's directed to me it's because i'm definately not going to see ford appearing to act a role that should be played by someone 30 years younger (at least), and i was wondering if apolytonites shared my opinion.

sadly, so far everyone is against me

I hear that Ford will be using a walker to get around in this sequel.

[Barnabas]

Pile of ****.

Very ridiculous. The way the scenes connected was not well thought.

[Main_Brain]

Bad Movie
Chase scenes and fist fights were Old skool though

I've seen it and I think you'll approve. Ford plays the part of a washed up old warehouse worker and drops a big box off a hyster and it breaks open revealing the Ark of the Covenant! He is fired.

UnLurk/I'd just like to say I posted this before the movie came out. /Lurk
