After an avalanche of bad reviews read, anecdotal tales of awesomeness heard, and personal expectations through the roof, I’m about to check out the new Indiana Jones movie.

Wish me luck.

Enjoy your long weekend, monarchs.

    Oh boy did that ever start off funny and fun, get a little story going for it with some nice nods to the past… then start to slow down and get over loaded with rather un-franchise nonsense…. and by the end of the first 90 minutes I just didnt care any more.

    And I was in a little neighborhood theatre with comfy couches and beers!!!

    let me guess, the indiana jones movies are now the prequel to close encounters of the third kind?

    bleh.

    Boy howdy doodie time Casey - you hit the nail RIGHT on the head.

    Bob; if you can believe this - I too was imbibing heavily during the film. Didn’t. Help.

    Outrageous.

    Readers; I’d say save this for netflix, or.. screw it, just download the torrent. No one should have to pay for that snooze fest!

    Yep, it started off pretty cool, although the gun fight in the warehouse was almost funny it was so bad. I mean, could they really not hit him with 50 automatic rifles from 10 feet away.

    And once they showed the skull, and the weird, long shape, I knew it was the beginning of the end. Aliens? ALIENS? You can’t be serious…

    Worst part: the kid swinging from tree to tree like a Monkey. That was absolutely unrealistic and wayyy below my expectations.

    How could such successful film people release something so flawed?

    Cash, I wouldn’t even recommend people to watch/download it for FREE.

    Maybe you’re on to something Casey. Perhaps the only civilized thing to do is take part time work as a projectionist and ‘accidentally’ lose all the reels..

    PS: This cracked me up:

    Aliens? ALIENS? You can’t be serious…

    Keep the great comments coming

    Because of movies like the Matrix and any video game that makes you reload your gun there are now standards in firearms. If three trucks loaded with trained Russian soldiers are going to shoot at a topless Jeep carrying four people and an alien head and best they can do is occasionally hit the door, I want to know what magic power is making this happen.

    I was willing to accept that there has never been a reasonable explanation for that thing he does to get his whip back after wrapping it around whatever rafter was conveniently installed for his getaway. But now I just want things explained. Like how a lead lined frigidaire can defy physics and act like the perfect airbag. Or why a super magnet only works when people say “It’s magnetic”. Or why Indi didn’t have patches on his professors jacket.

    And what the hell ever happened to Short Stop?!!
