I believe the reason a few people are saying this film is really bad is because allot of people want that "film Magic" of the first film in this series, "Raiders of the Lost Ark". What people fail to realize is that at the time, that film was one of a kind for the time, a new roller coaster ride for many of us when we were younger.
No film will ever quite match it, including any film with the main character of "Indiana Jones".. Having said that, this film here is fun enough on it's own merits. Of course, it is not a great film, but it is entertaining..
My criticisms;
I could of done without what I consider to be "Alien Propaganda" that seems to plaugue allot of Spielbergs directed films.
The new characters could of been fleshed out more.
Spielberg should of kept his word, and used allot less CGI, he didn't. In fact, everything he has represented about this film before it's release has frankly been flat out FALSE!! The story could of been better, but it is not bad.
My likes; Harrison Ford still has it, He looks Great, and got back into the character of Indiana Jones quite well.
The pacing was good and about the same as Raiders in that regard.
Nice to see Karen Allen again on the screen. I always liked her as an actress.
final verdict.
Worth a viewing, but DO NOT EXPECT the same magic that Raiders had, or you will end up like many here, HATING IT!!
