I agree tis movie is balls!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree tis movie is balls!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree completely, but I’ll add my own beef.

One, because it was a complete ripoff of the first movie as you said. Two, because it was trying to be epic and failed making it horrible as you said. Third, the cutsy crap and ridiculous nonsense like the refrigerator turned nuclear shelter. And Four, when Cate Blanchard died, I walked out of the theater because she was the only likable character in the film. That last part speaks volumes about how messed up the film was for me. It was a total deus ex machina Geroge Lucas cheapshot against the only capable character in the film. What happened to the old Indy when the bad girl is the most capable and adventurous person in the film?

Great review. My complaint is that the movie wasn’t entertaining. I think that sums up the whole experience. It turned out to be exactly what the audience anticipated; a great, big FUCK YOU to all the fans.

and what about that bullshit were they drove a vehical off a fucking cliff landed on a tree witch broke there fall and then floow back to hit the communties. what the fuck was that at least the old movies were plosible for the most part but this was just fucking nuts

PS sorry for the speeling mistakes

Noah, your reviews are gold. Bash the shit out of this piece of junk movie. Speilberg might as well just took a dump on my face, and that would be more entertaining. Keep em coming man! Great stuff!

P.S. Don’t give a fuck about what people say on your Phantasmagoria reviews. My friends and I died laughing all the way through. Please do another FMV review, or some other piece of shit game. The AVGN is a pile of year old donkey puke compared to your reviews.

The movie wasn’t that bad. I mean it wasn’t as good as the originals but it was fun to see Indy back.

Look, I agree with Samskye becuase if you go into the theater expecting it to by a masterpiece your insane. I admit some parts of it were cheesey but it was just fun way to spend an afternoon.

Im so angry i cant write….

I just dont know why oh why do george lucas keep doing movies….. he had a fluke with the first and only 3 good films he has ever, and I mean EVER, made. My good, he is starting to be a older version of uwe boll…. damn.

The only reason it is entertaining is because steven spielberg know how to vut a movie so it seems entertaining…. heh wow, I have issues…

George Lucas cant even do good foreshadowing…. Damn Him!, I mean his idea of foreshadowing is to stuff it in ur damn face twentie times over and over again.

great review!

Good rant. I liked it more than him, but I enjoyed the video. And I like how he gave good credit to Indy 2.

I’m sorry but the feeling of shame in your voice is priceless.
Kingdom of the Crystal skull as an Indiana Jones movie SUCKS FUCKING BALLS!
If it was any other movie that wasn’t Indiana Jonest it would have been at least somewhat good.

George Lucas is a good damn cyber faggot with a boner for special effects.
The guy can’t write stories for shit actually and if you can name a single movie he has made after American Grafiti that hasn’t involved Star Wars or Harrison Ford (whom Lucas obviously has wet dreams about) I’ll donate an SNES game to you.

Seriously, it was like sitting there watching the legacy of Indiana Jones go trough a shit grinder with the words “GEORGE LUCAS” stamped all the fuck over the exit hole where the diareah processed movie comes out.
But the thing that pisses me off the most, even more than the god fucking CGI was that Spielberg let Lucas do all of this.

I mean, for fucks sake Spielberg, if we can’t rely on you for good movies then who the fuck should we go to?

Sorry bout that Spooney, hearing you rant got me started as well.
Thats right, I blame you >:C

The first 10 minutes were brutally boring, and that was a good indication of what the rest of the movie was going to be like. Sad.

Indy said “nucular” !!! Great review .

Glad I didnt see this movie

In all honesty, the villianess was the best part of this movie; it’s too bad she did something silly and got her brain broiled. So far as an Indy movie, no. Just no, does not compute, even with Harrison Ford in the role the movie came off as ridiculous and annoyed me when I considered prior installments in the series. It was more like… some weird fanfiction crossover of Indy meets X-Files: The Prequel.

you have no idea how wrong you are.

Terrible is that george lucas ahs returned to teh 3 orginal moveis before cruystal skull was realsied annd digitally enhacned the old movies with CGI efects (and yes bluray wersons of the mvoeis are only the digitally enhacned wersons)
It was same awfullnes on the entier car scene as it looked awfully cheap and bland.

Was like they trew their wacm tables in the air at ILM and said “fuck it”

This entier movie smelled of fan fiction, and the steriotype greedy guy in the end felt so unorignal, it was soso in the mummy but here it felt out of palce as they become worsed then the movies that tried to reath to indyana jones glory.

Appolegy for my crippeld english.

Since I’ve never seen any other Indie movie before this one, I was genuinely entertained. I’ll admit it. I didn’t notice the flaws while I watched the movie. Once I saw this, they stood out glaringly, but at the time? I was entertained. That may be because this is my first Indiana Jones movie, but whatever. Also a note, the Crystal Skull evidently is a real life artifact, or at the least there is a real legend surrounding it, this wasn’t made in Lucas’ twisted, degrading mind…. not entirely at least.

Also, I think all the knowledge in the world exploded her head. That was still the gift. The aliens were just being douches.

I’m sorry to ruin your day with more shit, Spoony, but there were two other things you didn’t mention that sucked about this movie. Well, three, if you’re willing to allow that bullshit scene with the kid FENCING with the Communist, formal style, while straddling two cars.

1. The aliens were more asinine than even you indicated. They’d been waiting for years to get their heads back. They did. They mercilessly kill the woman. And the would’ve killed Indy too, because they left instantly, destroying everything around them. You’re welcome, assholes.

2. This one fucking killed me. The natives that assaulted Indy when he trespassed in their temple. Wait. You’re telling me that they’ve been holed up inside those walls for DECADES, without food or drink, just waiting for some hapless trespasser to wander in, so they can jump out, fully functional, not starving at all, and attack with blowguns? No. No. Fuck you.

I knew this was a bad film so I wanted to see it out of curiosity so I downloaded it. I know that’s ilegal but for this I think that act was justifiable.

I knew this was a bad film so I wanted to see it out of curiosity so I downloaded it. I know that’s ilegal but for this I think that act was justifiable.

What gets me about this film is…Indy didn’t have to be in it all. If he never even met with the Commies, nothing would have been different. Cate would still had her head exploded and the martians would’ve buggered off. The entire film was pointless.

I agree, it should have been a lot better. The car chase was good though, and it’s not like the other movies ever made any attempts to be really realistic. But this one just doesn’t even try to restrain itself, and totally goes over the top. Did they have anyone proof-read it at all?

The first few minutes set the standard – Indy survives a nuclear attack. WTF? Why not leave that out, it didn’t serve any purpose at all. And I guess nobody pointed out that there’s no metal in gunpowder, and even if there were, the way it flew towards the magnetic skull was just stupid. The skull also seems to be very randomly selective as to what it attracts.

Also, what did the commies want? One moment they’re talking about some mind weapon, and the next they are looking for some ill-defined, unknown yet desirable “reward” that the aliens will give them if the skull is returned. What was the plan? And the commies were moronic of course, and totally useless. Did they manage to do anything right? Where did the alien go (where there more than one?), and why did he wait until the skull got stolen (and then returned) to go there? Why did the other professor suddenly get his wits back at the end? And how? It’s one thing that someone left subtle and difficult-to-decipher clues if they don’t want everybody to understand, but even when they MEET him, he still speaks in riddles. How convenient.

It’s just a big mess. When it doesn’t rip off Raiders (truck chase, ending etc.) there are only half-assed attempts at making sense (monkeys, vine swinging, nuclear explosion, aliens, surviving waterfalls).

But the character development is pretty neat, and some of the action scenes are OK, taken out of context. The plane ride with the red line on the map is still cool. How hard would it have been to make a good movie?

Well its his opinion and thats fine, some people didnt like it some did. Personaly i Liked it.

Please, never, never never NEVER eat while you are making a video. It would have been funny as a plot device – that you were so upset that you hat to resort to comfort food – for a couple of seconds, but seeing as it is during the entire video.. well you were just eating and talking.

As lame as the kingdom of the crystal skull.

Lol Asturias, there is nothing bothering about him eating in the video!

You fuck.

I agree with spoony wholehartedly.

indy got southpark raped. just as star wars. bloody friggin hell. hollywood is out of ideas. thats why they’re relying on comics. think about it. anly good original hollywood movies are comicbooks. If they try somthing original, its usualy an old story in a new jacket. done before.
i admit i did go and see indy. started of good. and took a parabolic dive after the first 20 minutes. after an hour and 15 minutes i couldnt take it anymore. and i just left. because i know what was going to happen.

after seeing a bunch of spoilers on the internet, i felt i had to see it myself. and i felt sorry for harrison ford. as he stood there in the final scene, you saw him go “this is going to ruin me, mentaly and professionally”.

What are we going to do about people like Spielberg and Lucas going back to our old (and great) movies and ruining them with things like this? As Spoony said: “Leave it ALONE.”

Normally I would never recommend this, but I’m afraid the only solution I can think of is to drop something heavy on them from an upstairs window before they do something worse, though I struggle to think what THAT could be…

I didn’t think it was TERRIBLE but it was still a bad movie. The effects were okay… but it did rely on the computer and shit too much. The only reason why the crazy russian lady’s head asploded was because her brain overheated from all the knowledge the aliens were giving her. I can’t believe you said nothing about the cheesy flying saucer that they used! Other then that i agree with everything you said. At least they can’t call temple of doom the “worst one in the trilogy” any more XD.

Why do people complain about Temple of Doom? I liked it, I thought it was just as good as the other two.

i saw this and right after the ending i swear to god i almost LIT THE FUCKING PLACE ON FIRE

First off, TF 2007 rocked. Second, i agree mostly with what you said about Skull, but the one piece of the score that sticks out is the Spalko theme :)

fck george lucas
think hes only had three really good ideas
and hes ruined two of them
only think ;et for him is american graffiti (or did…more american grafiti already do that)

like said …say this was a movie for kids
you cannot bring a icon legend back like that keeping and targeting kids as your key demographic

think the only way indy ( the character name of indy to survie) is to to have great grandson of indy named indy
brought into modern day times

Ya that movie was awful, I especially thought it it was funny when the temple/spaceship think took off and the three characters are just sitting there and they don’t seem to be phased at all that a F@$KING UFO just took off !!!!

Wow, you seem really sad in this review. I could actually tell you really liked Indiana Jones even before you started talking about how it shoulda been glorious.

You’ll probably kill me now, but Temple of Doom is the only good indiana jones movie IMO. No stereotypic nazis (all foreigners are stereotypic in indiana movies) and fake accents.

And the new one is based on the 50′s, so of course there’s aliens. Also “aliens met inkas, mayas etc” is common sci-fi fact. Still, the 4th sucks ass

I liked Temple of Doom as well…dunno why people keep saying it’s crap. Crystal Skull was crap. D<
So- it’s good to finally know that I wasn’t the only one who more or less felt the same about this movie. In the beginning, I attempted to defend KoCSkull from myself….justify it. Yeah…sure….that went well. Well-, I’ve come to terms with myself and yes…i agree..it sucks hard.
And that whole part in the forest. Parallel roads. Cars. That whole bit- possibly the worst part of the whole thing.
…and it was totally obvious that aliens were going to be involved. (and yet, I tried so hard to ignore it…)

That wasn’t William Hurt, that was John Hurt.

You said it! I felt so violated after seeing this piece of crap! What’s with all the respectful reviews? Honestly almost every review I have seen (except yours) treated the movie with kid gloves. Just tell the TRUTH! IT SUCKED!
I so wish that they just left Indie to ride into the sunset in Crusade instead of desecrating his good name!

Thank you, Spoony. This movie was shit, and Temple of Doom was actually good. Thank you for saying it, when I know so many people who like this turd fest and bitch about Temple of Doom.

Hear hear.

Temple of Doom is excellent. In fact, I like it more than Raider of the Lost Ark.

I didn’t like the movie that much, but I also didn’t hate it as much as most people did.

Also, you need to do every movie review while you eat.

Yes sir. Finally someone shares my disdain for Shia Lebouf. I will destroy that asshole.

I didn’t see the movie but there are two things I want to clarify about some complaints some people have:

First: not all metals are magnetic. It is perfectly possible that for example bullets are attracted by a magnetic object while gold pieces are not, or much less. Still it is impossible to shield of magnetic forces by for example a crate or something like that.

Second: of all the places in your home, the fridge is probably the safest place to hide from radioactive radiation. Unless you happen to have a closed lead coffin in your home… The trunk of a car would also be a good idea, although it is not a well isolated as a fridge.

BTW: I’m a physicist, I get paid to know this stuff :-).

Stargate SG1 anyone?

ocean_soul, if you are a physicist, how in the name of SIENCE can you belive it is possible to survive beeing in the center of a nuke blast???
The radiation is the least of your concernes in that situation, the most pressing matter is the extreme heat that can melt lead, you know, like a fridge, and turn your body into burned ash and bones, followed by the extreme blastwave that pulverises your remains.

That part of the movie is the single greatest insult to our intelligence I have ever seen.

@mobtank
That’s not what I said, I said you could hide from radiation .

If your at ground zero of a nuclear blast your death. Simple as that. However, if your main concern is radiation (for example: you are not so close as to be fried, but you are at serious risk from short term fallout) it would be a good idea to hide in the fridge. Remember I didn’t see the movie, so I don’t know the exact circumstances.

On a side note: who has a fridge made of lead anyway? Seems rather impractical to me.

My favorite memory of this movie is when some guy who was in the theater with me was rocking, clapping and laughing every time a reference to one of the older titles in the series was made.

Can´t believe that no one mentions the part of the movie with the snake… the part where indy and marion are sinking into quicksand, and lebeouf has to find a way to save them, the only bloddy thing he could find in the jungle is a giant Snake, he then throws it out to marion and indy and reels them in. And ofcourse, as we all know, indy is afraid of snakes which creates a “comedic” moment. That scene is an insult… actually the entire movie is an insult, i think i hate basically every single thing about this movie. Getting angry just thinking about it xD

I HATED this movie, such bad of a movie I never will forgive George Lucas for this piece of shit

I would watch this movie, but only the rifftrax version.

George Lucas buttfucks everything including video games movies and we should put georgie into a straight jacket destroy Lucasarts

Hey, it could have been worse. This movie could have just as easily been all about Short Round and an army of ewoks. I think we got off lightly.

Temple of Doom is my favorite of the series. how can you hate that movie? it still has the grossest dinner scene and awesome heart ripping scene of all time.

OK, I agree that this movie is a major disappointment, but how can you say that it’s better than Temple of Doom?
That movie destroyed most of what made the first film so good, replacing memorable characters and an interesting plot with the paradoxical addition of lame, annoying supporting characters and a storyline dark to the point of absurdity. I mean, it turned it into a joke! The dinner scene? Come on! How can you like that cutsey shit with the eyeballs and monkey brains in the soup!
And the ridiculous cheeseball love scene between Indy and the girl after they’ve only known each other for, like, two days?
I guess they figured they had too weighty a main story, so they added a bunch of the opposite for comic relief. In my book, it doesn’t count as “relief” if half the movie is that way.
Don’t get me wrong, Crystal Skull sucks, but don’t try to say it’s worse than ToD.

yeah, this movie wasnt that great. I can admit that. But… I liked it. Really I did. You hit the nail on the head, specifically how we are all sheep when it comes to movie licenses. We want to see stuff like this. I love the all the indy films, and while this wont be beating any of the original movies, It’s still passable. I never really noticed the whole rippoff notion of Raiders, but… I can see it now, and while it cheapens the movie, its not enough to make me ashamed that I owned it… for cheap.

I think the issue that drives most people with webcams batty over this movie, and Transformers, for that matter, is that its not the same as you remember. Which, its true, it isn’t the same. But, it never really can be the same as it used to be. Times do change, and as technology gets better, most directors will go with the green screen rather than acctually be there for the moment, which is really dissapointing about most of todays movies. What bothers me about green screen is more the outlandish shit the expect us to buy(like the nuke thing for example) But, for me, as a viewer, as a fan for that matter, It’s really hard for even guys like Micheal Bay to screw up my childhood icons. Uwe Boll can do it, sure, and I’m not defending Bay, I hate most of his movies, and how hes more or less the remake guy in Hollywood, but, speaking again, as a fan, I loved Transformers, I can’t wait to see the new one. Call me a sheep if you want to, but I just have trouble really hating films. Espcially stuff like Star Wars, The indy saga, and various other nostalgia from my childhood.

The way I deal with it is I know that basically what I loved as a kid, was loved just as much by a whole ton of people. And everyone wants to have their hands into making the next portion of a saga, to pass along somthing to the next generation of fans. Trouble being, everyone has a different idea for doing that. Ghostbusters is a prime example, if they acctually make the 3rd movie I’m hearing so much about. Bottom line, It’s ok to hate this movie. And speaking for those of us that liked it, we understand why you hate it. But, go easy on us for liking it.

Now, if you meet someone that likes a Uwe Boll movie, feel free to bash him into the dirt :P

Best part of the movie was the Part were that one guy was Killed by those Ants. That was Insane.

I should’ve known I was in trouble when the theater was completely empty save for me, my mother and two other people.

To me it just felt like the whole movie was a ‘fun project’ by Lucas and Spielberg.

Agree on all points with the Sir Spoony. Add to that if the almighty were to allow a common Kenmore to not get vaporized, the velocity that thing flew at, would probably have turned Indy to paste. Additionally, what was with the insane look on Marian’s face while she drove the freaking car off a cliff that just happened to be perfectly caught by a tree. She apparely also has a good supply of happy pills.

That movie sucked so much and the fridge part pissed me off SO MUCH!!!

I love how you said that you were done a few times and then just kept going and going.

Cate Blanchett is hot in this movie?! yeah now I can see how you think Megan Fox is hot…

the fridge and the aliens killed this movie, ultimately

I agree with KratosWrite, the fridge part might as well made the common sense area of my brain explode 20 times. How the hell does a fridge survive a fucking nuclear blast?! A nuke destroys everything in the area and yet a common fridge is able to survive it? Thats like saying you can use an umbrella to shield yourself against the nuke. Also if a fridge truly could keep him alive from a NUKE, he should have broken pretty much every bone in his body from the distance the fridge flew. And thanks to the average intelligence of the U.S, people will actually believe that fridges can survive nukes. And i completely agree with you on how horrible this movie and the story is. once i learned there was aliens in the movie i did not want to go see it but i was forced to go along with family. The movie could have done without Shia labeouf . It could have better without him. Indiana’s love interest was as useful as The book full of useless information. ANYWAYS thanks for your review ill be watching/reading more.

i thought it was shitty as all hell… as an indy movie. as a movie in general, it’s not so bad.

STOP FUCKING EATING YOU ANNOYING SLOB

STOP FUCKING EATING YOU ANNOYING SLOB

everyone here fails to see the movie as they saw the original movies when they came out. they’re not supposed to be original, they’re not supposed to have amazing plots, and it’s not supposed to be believable. you’re supposed to watch it, say that’s badass, and move on. indiana jones was never a thought-provoking series, all the people who think they are critics (not spoony, the average citizen) are trying to force it to become one.

and i am sick and fucking tired of the nuked fridge argument. in a series that had skeletons, people ripping out hearts, cursed cups, i mean indy fucking jumps out of a helicopter using an inflatable raft, lands in water, goes down a waterfall, and survives. after everyone has seen all that, people NOW decide that the movies can’t be fake? if this movie had been released 10-15 years ago, people would have loved it, but nowadays, people refuse to just watch a movie, and enjoy it, they have to dissect it until it’s original form is unrecognizable.
does the term “suspension of disbelief” mean ANYTHING anymore?

You certainly seem like a broken man in this video. I didn’t think it was a horrible movie, but you are 100% correct about it being terrible compared to the others. Maybe it would have had a chance if it were a stand alone movie, without the previous films. But all in all, a bad Indiana Jones movie.

Shia Le ButtFuk HAHAHAH, and George Lucas did raped Indiana Jones.
Watch South Park

And Also Temple Of Doom Is the Shit

And Also Temple Of Doom Is the Shit

I didn’t hate it as much as you did, but I agree it certainly wasn’t good. Honestly, the part that bugged me the most was the bad CG jungle scenes. They were not only really bad, but they REALLY pulled you out of the Indiana Jones feel. In Last Crusade they at least used actual vehicles and stuff that’s vaguely somewhat plausible. Giant forest-chopping vehicles and Shia swinging on vines Tarzan style just tears you out of the story. What little story there was.

Holy shit… you’re right. I can’t remember any of the music from Crystal Skull. And I’m a classically trained musician. I played several renditions of various Indiana Jones soundtracks in various orchestras. I toyed with video game design when I was younger solely as an excuse to write soundtracks myself. And one of the first soundtracks I ever wrote was for a silly 2d sidescroller I made spoofing Indiana Jones, and so I studied the John Williams soundtracks for several months to get a feel for how best to spoof them. And I can’t remember a god damn thing from the Crystal Skull soundtrack.

On the flipside, though. Mmm. Cate Blanchett in tight clothes. :P

Indiana Jones and The Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind! (i cam up with this the minute i learned Aliens where in it)

i only watched this movie because i was pressured into it

why did you ignore the most importaint part of the impossible Fridge toss scene? HE FLYS THROUGH THE AIR IN A LEAD COFFIN (fridges of the time where some times referred to this because they locked on the OUTSIDE and where air tight!) hits the ground (while tumbling ende over end) doing what seems to be 60 an hour! and gets out not only unharmed but walks just fine… BBBBUUULLL SSSSHHHIIITTT, why did you forget that part? i mean realism i can kinda ignore but this? this i wont

Postal was better then this movie. (this is ignoring the fact that my friends have played the hell out of the postal games and say its amazingly accurate, but still not only did he out butt fuck Michel Bay but he out butt fucked Uwe Bell)

I saw the 3 movies, and i gotta say WTF was this movie. I agree, this movie is HORRIBLE. The fridge scene, the jungle, hell most of the fucking movie is garbage and made no sence. Even i was confused on how many skulls were in the damn movie. Sure the Temple of Doom had the life raft scene but at least the movie was actually good. George Lucas I agree wiped his ass with it. When I seen this movie, i was like WTF, ALIENS DO NOT BELONG IN AN INDIANA JONES MOVIE. I mean god, why in this movie. Dont Lucas got some other movie to go ruin. Oh crap I forgot. Speilburg may be doing the Halo movie. As much as i hate Halo, i wouldent doubt that Lucas will get his hands on it with him there.

Also, i do agree with the special effects. CGI and Green screens are a great tool, but the main problem with them is that they are generally used too much in movies and not used well.

I agree with you on all points, except that it is worse than T:RotF. Although, that probably has to do with the fact that I hate that movie to its very core. :P

I watched all 4 movies today in a marathon. And while serveral things about crystal skull is retarded (which you all pointed out) I still prefer it over Temple of Doom. Which would be an awesome movie and actually my favorite if not for Capshaw’s constant screaming and her overall character design. Uhhhh, shiny. Short round (George Lucas’ standard step one: put a kid into the movie, step two ???, step three: profit! routine) is a delight compared to this.

“Why did they revert to aliens?”

That’s a god point. I can think of a better set like…..

Indiana Jones and the search for Atlantis
or
Indiana Jones and the Treasures of the Aztecs
or
Indiana Jones and the Seven Cities of Cibola

Proof that george lucas turns gold into rusty razors from the nastest shit ever.

well I did see the movie before this review gotta say it was okay it may not be like the classic trilogy but its still okay but i can agree when you found the flaws like the alien looking and the women fried their her brains also i can agree the aliens were assholes but women asked i want to know it all bitch had it coming to her and the whole entire movie is like rip off to another si-fi movie in fact make a movie about person who is an adventure who gets radio transmission he tracks the alien transmission to an alien crash site and gets abducted only to take over the mothership with a group of people such as a army medic ; a samuri; a mechanic ; and a scientist.

This is what South Park was talking about. Annoyingly Richard Roeper gave it a thumbs up. He liked it!!!! The other guy was smart enough to give it a thumbs down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=fT2XTSMrt-w

omg is he wearing a shirt with a ADOM reference?… @_@

omg is he wearing a shirt with a ADOM reference?… @_@

I think you’re on the wrong track.. compared to the second movie this was gold, i really think so ^^ it follows a continuity compared to nr. 2 that introduced characters you never heard from again

“in fact make a movie about person who is an adventure who gets radio transmission he tracks the alien transmission to an alien crash site and gets abducted only to take over the mothership with a group of people such as a army medic ; a samuri; a mechanic ; and a scientist.”

That pretty much describes Mothership Zeta on Fallout 3 lol.

I also agree that this film is utter bullshit. George Lucas is killing everything awesome he ever made, I bet £100 that he’ll remake Harold the Duck and it’ll be better remake than both that CGI PoS Clone Wars movie and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The worst thing is his daughter will eventually take over for him and she’s an even bigger dumb fuck.

Temple of Doom happens to be my favorite Indy movie. Thanks for defending it, Spoony.

Maybe it would’ve been better if the world never had George Lucas and his movies at all.

Maybe it would’ve been better if the world never had George Lucas and his movies at all.

temple of doom was by far the worst of the trilogy. still indiana jones of course and thus awesome (and i wouldnt consider this last one to be an indiana jones film).
as a setting i would have rather liked the tunguska incident…though they might have turned that into some alien story as well…
on the other hand, there are some theories about antimatter and all sorts of other interesting explanations…
well, just my 2 cents

Shia Le Butfuck :D

Shia Le Butfuck :D

Hahahaha. Nice shirt. Zork reference: makes a Geek-Gasm palpable.

….I don’t know what all the anger is about. I thought it was pretty good.

….I don’t know what all the anger is about. I thought it was pretty good.

I have to say that I was really dissapointed as well. Not to the extend stated in the video review by spoony, but sufficiently enough. I did think that they managed to transfer Indy over into the 50′s nicely, but it pretty much ended there. Aliens…are you kidding me? That truly was a bad decision, and an unneccesary one on top of that. George Lucas really has managed to destroy every memorable icon he created in the past. I never really was the biggest fan of Indiana Jones myself – although I did like it – but what he did to Star Wars really hurt. Episodes I to III made me want to drown him in a lake full of Bantha droppings, but what really freaked me out the most was what he did to the digitally “enhanced” original movies, namely Episodes IV to VI. At least Episode I had Liam Neeson and great light saber duels in it, which made them somewhat enjoyable.
But overloading the original Star Wars episodes with comic relief that more than just bordered on stupidity, made you wonder if Goerge Lucas was on a “medical Marijuana” theraphy while deciding on that. The probably worst of all was the bar scene in Episode IV where Han Solo encounters the bounty hunter and shoots him through the table. I loved that scene in the original. But for whatever reason Mr. Lucas decided that he couldn’t have one of his main heroes come across like a bad guy by shooting first (although I think that was really badass), and decided to give Han a justification by having the bounty hunter shoot first…and miss him from a distance less than one foot and the gun already pointed at Solo’s head. That just ruined it for me.
George Lucas shoudn’t be allowed to direct anything else but the Teletubbies anymore. At least he would deal with his newly chosen target audience and it would be a challange even for him to make THAT any worse…although he may succeed.

I liked this movie!

Hey Master Seijin, seriously think the sheer influence and inspiration of Star Wars and Indiana Jones being gone would of made the world a better place?

ok, ive realised im commenting everywhere, not good after a night on the piss . .( getting drunk to the american readers who have over the past brought familiar british sayings into question rather than what i said ). Let me say i love the site and i have wasted hours watching your videos, its a great site, you have good idea going, keep it up its very entertaining. Anyway, my pissed up rant, and im really reading back here to make sure i make sense so bare with me. The biggest problem i have is that i know its all a joke and even if you really believe the things you saying 100% then i think entertainment is wasted on you. Ive tried to avoid looking at the reviews which i actually liked but as i am bored at times like this after a night out i watch it and infuriate myself. Doom, TF2:ROTF, This and a few others i just cant recall were geat because why? Erm. . . because we are too old. Im 30 this year and all the games you have slated, between you and the nerd, i used to love. Why? Because i had an imagination and back then even if it was incomlete . .it didnt matter it was a game and i played the fuck out of it. No fucking pixelated game would beat me and they didnt. I remember getting ET for my atari . . yes i got it around launch and thought it was a fucking challenge. Put yourself in my shoes. About 5 years old. You hadnt seen ANYTHING LIKE this before. It was the shit, i was a lucky boy to have parents that bought new shit and werent like, oooh no sex before marriage, you cant watch that you are too young . . i was a well behaved, entergetic and innovative kid which really got sucked in to the entertainment around me at the time, i believed it, i loved it and i felt the magic. See, i think im pretty teriffic as i can go into any situation and adapt very quickly and get full benefit. Just like now when i watch a fllck what every critic in the world says is bad, well before it started i turned on that kid mind switch labelled . .clearly . . .at the back of my head and got full 100% enjoyment out of it. Let me finish with one thing, if your over 22 and reviewing any kind of entertainment feature, you are past it. The cinical world of media, advertising and corporate shite has fucked you over forever and spoiled any kind of magic left in your body. We are all too quick to point out the flaws of movies. . of course, cos if the entertainment world was bound totally by these rules ie games and films then we wouldnt have any . . . erm . . .oh thats right ENTERTAINMENT. All im going to say is who is going to give a fuck, now, in one year, 10 years that any of us watched these films and played these games? Anyway crysytal skull. I thought it was alright. My take on it was that it tried to recreate the 60′s theme but still be in the 80′s . . if you know what i mean. God i think people just dont have any imagination anymore and i blame windows and computers. Yes. i blame them becuase with each iteration they try to dumb it down EVEN more. Its almost like this has cottoned on to the video entertainment industry. We have to point EVERYTHING out in kiddie steps or we are going to loose the inbred, hick, motherfucking, 20 rate iq, drool slobbering, drop out bastard population. By all rights i should be asleep by n ……..

lol stupid fridge is invincible but if thers was just rly slim chance of survival i would done the same cause its better then just stayin totally vunerable to the blast

Soutpark said it best. “We all saw them do it… we were there…. They raped Indiana Jones.”

Pirates 3 Star Wars 3 Indy 4 over and over again I say how bad thees movies are. my friends and family say I’m nuts. it’s nice to see that ether I’m not nuts or not alone.

Hi there, I’m a big fan. like everyone else here hehe ^^. Love basicly all the things you do here, its just hilarious! ( sorry for my spelling, im from sweden..! I think that sais it all… ) This is my first comment here, and Im writing it just due to the fact that you talked about how they RAPED indiana jones! Wich got me thinking of a South Park episode that I hope you’ve watched. Maybe you dont like South Park, but I think you’d like THAT episode. Really, you have to. And if you already seen it, you know how freaking funny it is ^^. South Park + Children claims George Lucas RAPING Indiana Jones = Extremly Fun Times. ESP after watching your own thoughts about it.
http://www.stansdad.com/season12/episode8/ – The south park episode
Anyways, great review man. I’ll keep waiting for more things from ya’!

http://thelegendsnougi.blogspot.com/ – myblog o.O

Oh yea, I just saw the other comments about South Park, AFTER i wrote it. Really sorry, I’m not trying to spam or anything. Thumbs up to people who watched and commented about it here. But now you got a link to watch it again! ^^

I still refuse to acknowledge this as an Indy film.

Hello! Last Crusade? You know as in last, done, over, finnished and finally NO MORE! You don’t name something the last and then make more.

I’m afraid you are correct Spoony. There is a 5th film coming. You know what’s worse? They kill off Harrison Ford and make Shia LeBUTTFUCK the Icon of the franchise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that is what the whole 2012 business is about!!!!!

Actually I liked this movie. NOTHING wrong with it. :{

Phew…for a moment there I thought you might not mention the two worst scenes: The fridge and the monkeys…
This was a shit movie. Temple was SO much better….I’ll take Shortround over Shia ANYDAY!!

Need to ask, oh Spoony One… were you drunk when you recorded this?

Need to ask, oh Spoony One… were you drunk when you recorded this?

That really was a horrible movie – I can’t believe it even at this day. Aliens and Indy? Cheez… at the second watching time I thought, “hey, maybe I change my mind and I start to think maybe this movie is not THAT bad after all”. Bullfuck! The experience was even worse! I continuously seek those bad things from it and oh how much fucking hate it. And now they are making indy 5 – my god… whatta hell? Let’s hope everybody that ufoshit is past, Indy is not DEAD and Mutt Williams is not the main hero… and it’s more old schooler. Fucking animated anal ants…

My fucking god… I just checked George Lucas’ plans for Indy 5 from some interview… I was horribly RIGHT, but Indy is not dead! Lucas sees that Mutt is the main character in the fifth movie while Indy is sidecharacter like Sean Connery in Indy 3. It’s not anymore “Indiana Jones” movie – IT’S “MUTT JONES”. My god, fuck, shit, assrape!

Ohhhh Spoony. My god, you are so right. There is nothing in my childhood that Lucas has NOT royally fucked up. It just makes me so sad. Oh why?!

I thought it was good, an enjoyable watch that contained alot of what we enjoyed about previous Indy films. It wasn’t as good as the originals, with the exception of the Temple of Doom perhaps, but it was a good movie; the only part that made me half-cringe was the part with Indy Jr. swinging on vines in the jungle – that WAS a step too far.

Erm, and just a point: “LAST” in ‘The Last Crusade’ is not a reference to Indiana Jones as much as it is to the story of the movie. The Crusades were all about occupying Jerusalem and, supposedly, the search for the Holy Grail; since the movie’s plot was about searching for the Holy Grail it was a Crusade, and since the Holy Grail is lost at the end of the movie it’s therefore the LAST Crusade.

kingdom of the crystal skull????, whats that?, as far as i know there are only 3 indiana jones movies.
you must be seeing things, the trilogy is just that a trilogy……

Any attempt to convince me otherwise will be answered via blunt object to the head REPEATEDLY

After getting home from watching this movie, for no apparent reason, I passed out right in my driveway, hitting my head and getting a minor concussion, resulting in short term memory loss and my forgetting pretty much everything I saw.

Seriously, I’m not making this up; this movie sucks so bad God went out of his way to make me forget it. Probably ‘cuz Spielberg didn’t let him appear in this one like with Raiders and Last Crusade, which would explain Temple of Doom, now that I think about it…

Yes… yes… The movie sucks, but please! Finish youre meal before you edit the review.

I presume you meant John Hurt?
Still, you’re very right. Although the movie is watchable, it’s definintely not the Indy we all grew up with. I have to say, I feel kinda sorry for Shia LeBeouf. People keep casting him in roles where he’s going to get enormous hate from people.

Ok not even joking when i say this. But I could write a significantly better Indiana Jones script in one day. Not a word of a lie, it would be easy. Im not even good at writing but i could make something better then this piece of dog crap that they call a movie. Someone needs to dress up in a Jar Jar Binks costume and beat George Lucas senseless, then tie him up and make him watch this disaster piece non stop until he manages to train his laughing gophers to tear his eyes out.

Holy shit!!! I completely agree with you on every aspect you ranted on about this movie!! I was so abhorred by this bucket of butt waste that I started coming up with my own idea for a fourth Indy film. I’m seriously thinking of shipping the treatment to both Spielberg and Lucas and tell them, this is how it should’ve been done!!! I had three friends of mine, who are HUGE Indy fans, read it, and say that my version is a lot better than this abomination! (My version was titled “Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx” and involved a secret, hidden treasure long buried underneath the Great Sphinx. Marion would be dead and a young man accompanies Indy, who is as you might have guessed, his son. However, the revelation is done in a more subtle manner and bonding between the two is a strong point, much like that between Indy and his dad in LAST CRUSADE. Also, my version may have the KGB wanting to get their hands on the gold. I’ve written a draft with that in it, but am not sure about keeing it in. *All this is copyrighted thus far.*) I get baffled every time I read someone saying something positive about it. I did a double take when I picked up my copy of Leonard Maltin’s 2009 Movie Guide and saw that one of the most prestigious critics IN THE WORLD gave it 3 1/2 STARS!! WTF?!?!?!

I started getting bummed there for a second when you shut it off and it went to the “No Signal bars” or whatever the hell they’re called. I was like, ‘What about the “radiation fridge incident?”‘ Then you came back on and answered that question for me. That is, by far, one of the dumbest moments not only in Indiana Jones history, but in film history! One big reason this film has aliens in it is partly because the script was written by David Koepp, who wrote Spielberg’s version of WAR OF THE WORLDS! Something should seriously happen. Make a better sequel or remake it. Either way, keep Shia LeBeouf out of it!! His character was so damn annoying!!

Another point I should bring up…what’s with all the 1950s references? Elvis’ “Hound Dog” playing as a group of teenagers drag race a military soldier (another moronic scene); Shia’s entrance (taken from Marlon Brando’s THE WILD ONE); and others I can’t think of at the moment. The Cold War references are fine because those are real topics that were encountered in the ’50s, but all the other references felt heavy-handed and kinda thrust into the audiences’ faces. Did you see any of that in the three previous films? No.

This movie is rubbish.

Spoony is 100% right on. Indy 4 is fucking shit.

THEY RAPED HIM RIGHT IN THE ASS good rant though

What is everyone talkin’ bout? There are only 3 Indy films. No matter what anyone says, there are only 3 Indy films, and if George Lucas DID make a 4th film, he better not FUCK it up. Like aliens, wouldn’t it be hilarious if an INDY film had ALIENS? That’d be the worse movie ever.

@ Nova503

Yeah, good thing they won’t make a movie like that. And what if the also made prequels to the star wars movies. With Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. Man, I wouldn’t want to live in a fucked up world like that.

@Nova503 and Hubilub
Yeah, I’m so glad that we live in a world where none of that crap exists and stuff. Now excuse me, I have to go see Jimi Hendrix right after I finish playing Mother 4

I agree with the review. And LOL at 9:25 :D

I can’t wait to see Lego Indy 2 do some awesome self-parodoy of this movie.
Great review Spoony! Its great how you mix legitimate complaints with being absolutely hilarious.

Take away the aliens, make it about a magnetic artifact of the natives, the ones they fight, origin, make the relations in the film more subtle add a better musical score, make the climax more original and the movie COULD have been okay. But no. There are aliens, the skull has nothing to do with the climax, its just a key to open a door. The relations are so obvious its an insult to my intelligence and the climax has been done to the syllable, and done better.

Its fine to like this movie I guess. But I really didn’t.

I… I think I love you, Spoony. I have been telling my friends the same things about Disturbia and Rear Window (seriously? I still can’t believe they even /tried/ to create someone scarier than Lars Thorwald) for YEARS now, and they still insist that the piece of shit “I’m original!” remake is better.

Alas (or not), I haven’t been to see the new Indiana Jones movie. ‘Cause you see, I have this little thing about keeping my childhood intact…

Ive seen worse, but I am very pissed that i dropped like 10 bucks to see it. And I went with a group of like 9 people no less. I feel responsible for movies like this because I wanted to remember how young I was when the older ones came out. I fell for the gimmick also, and I am displeased…sigh

Can I borrow your nostalgia blinders? Mine got scratched. It was an Indiana Jones adventure full of larger than life, crazy shit. Just like the others and just liked I’d hoped for for years, and especially like Temple Of Doom, which you defend. By the way, many of your issues can be fixed by simply watching again and paying attention. It was an adventure story modeled after the 1950′s B movie cinema, and this film buff wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Okay I will admit that this movie was not exactly the best Indy film ever, but it was still a good movie. I really don’t understand why people hate this thing so much

Spoony, glad you hate that kid too! “You made a worse movie then Michael Bay!” lol Couldn’t agree more man!

I don’t know anyone with good things to say about this movie. And if you don’t blame George Lucas, blame Shia LaBeof, who’s mastered the ability of being the same person in every movie.

I enjoyed it. Nowhere near as excellent as Raiders of the Lost Ark, but on about the same level as Temple of Doom and Last Crusade which is still a cut above most movies. It’s the same old popcorn munching fun, this time with a 1950′s theme. And frankly, I can live with the 50′s themes such as martians and commies. Not as cool as the Ark and the Nazis, but it still works on its own level.

It was terrible… nothing more can be said. Doesn’t deserve so much as a mention beside the movies that came before it.

I remember actually kinda enjoying this film when I saw it in the cinema, but I couldn’t have been paying attention because I went to this film on a date and when the alien appeared at the end I was surprised this film had anything to do with aliens when I should have known that from the beginning.

No, I think you’re full of shit. I feel like your definitely full of shit.

The Indiana Jones series never had any concern for continuity and was always a kind of side spoof to the 40′s serials. Now, the latest is more of a spoof to their 50′s counterparts, which was of course more centric on scifi.

The only true fault I feel with the film is that it’s now all digital and thus losing its nostalgia factor, which was probably what made the Star Wars prequel and special edition worst, most people probably didn’t get the difference and probably blamed it on something else.

Also, it’s bad to apply physics to an Indiana Jones film, because if you push pass the nostalgia (ie. George Lucas’s Worst Enemy) you’ll discover that all the movies breach logic to an unreasonable amount. It was just the the fact that you were young when you saw it and it didn’t bother you as much because you were young.

I can’t speak for the series I only ever saw Temple of Doom, and the ending of Raiders of the lost Ark, but I will say this, I can’t say I enjoyed it, while it flowed, it was boring , the action felt rote and overly cliched and Shia LeBouff (is that spelt correctly), the only part I enjoyed was the ants eating people because there is hope there, eat the whiny teenager, EAT HIM!!!!

I do agree with your review but not to such an extreme, probably because it isn’t my childhood icon being destroyed, but I can say, I feel for you and the poor bastards who recieve my beatings as I slap the stupid out of them. (look out George Lucas, Uwe Boll, Paris Hilton, Stephanie Myer and Brittany Spears)

PS: I wil eat the people who made a Gears of War sequel, good game but it wasn’t needed, stop making FPS’s and make a bloody platformer like Golden Axe, or Castlevania Bloodlines, they kicked ass

so i guess you didnt like this movie spoony.

so i guess you didnt like this movie spoony.

Yea, I was pretty dissapointed with this film. I felt like Indy was stuck in a film he didn’t want to be in. The worst part is that stephen Spielberg could have prevented the film from being made. He was against the whole idea and plot of the 4th film, but because George Lucas threw such a little bitch fit Stephen gave in. AND now their making a 5th one. GAWD. As you said first George tottally destroys Star Wars and now he’s desided to MURDERIZE (Yes, I realize it’s not a word) Indy. NOT COOL.

Wow… yeah, I guess I do not need to see it. I have been looking into some more videos to watch since I have basically seen about nothing as far as movies.

I admit I was curious, and I am getting more into videos. Even got myself the original three since it put the series on my radar, though I guess luckily the fourth was not to be found at that time, so I only got the original three of the franchise.

Just hearing what you had to say about it, there is no question in my mind, they probably just said “action movie!” and ran on that abstract with no direction. What reason would they have for any of that stuff besides that they think it is cool and awesome that he survives a nuclear blast in a fridge? It is the crazy action hero endurance taken to the Nth unrealistic and stupid as all hell degree.

What worries me more is that this is a running trend with the popular franchises he established. This is probably not the last video that will be released to great popularity, yet will be of the same caliber as his Star Wars and Indiana Jones sequels.

I thought Indy 4 was okay. Was it as good as the first three? No, absolutely not. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t nearly up to par with the original three. I can’t wait for George Lucas to make American Graffiti 2, when he fucks up the last good thing he’s ever made.

lol funny that spoony say along the lines of “they raped indy”. They did a south park episode about that not long after this review.

there is one person who writes a better score than John Williams. Nobuo Uematsu

Come now, It wasn't THAT bad. It was nothing special but not as bad as you put it.

At first when I saw this film I thought it was badass. Now after seeing this review that changed my mind. Though that section when they Communist get's killed by the ants scared me a tiny bit.

For what it's worth, this script was penned by David Koepp, the same dude who wrote forgettable screenplays for “War of the Worlds”, “Zathura: A Space Adventure”, “Panic Room”, “Angels and Demons”, “Mission: Impossible” (which was actually a pretty good, albeit predictable, movie), etc, etc, etc…

He did also write “Spiderman”, but I think the director of that one saved it more than the written word. Original Indiana Jones was written by Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote “Return of the Jedi” and “Empire Strikes Back”.

what about back to the future being a good trilogy? anyway its so stupid how hypocritical fans are by asking for you to review these things and then flaming you for expressing your opinions

after seeing thing peace of shit, it makes me cherish the originals. i don't consider this movie part of the Indiana Jones franchise.

Yep they raped indiana jones.
I can't understand how people can like it.

Trully, i feared that you'll not mention the refrigerator scene. Fuck this scene ! The film will be really much better (well… Better is a big word) if this scene was cutted off.

I can tell my first time with this movie : i was watching the beginning, thinking it was an average movie (don't misunderstand me, i still prefer the three first Indiana Jones' movies), but a little annoying. Then, IT (i call the Nuke scene 'IT') destroyed everything. I was with my family, so i didn't really screamed but i was about to explode ! Bullshit, bullshit ! Totally nonsense, ridiculous and below the deepest pit of the worst movie scene ever made ! So, all the rest of the movies, i was only watching Indiana Jones with the bitter taste of Brain rapping, so OF course this movie can't be good.
You didn't mentioned that the frige wasn't even deformed by the explosion, the door was easy to open, Indie got out of it not even sick after those air rollings in the fridge. You didn't bitch enough about this scene, really…

Anyway, i watched the rest of the movie, still thinking about that non-sense scene and of course the movie IS bad because your mind is still stunned. The movie CAN'T be good with that sequence.
And when you saw it once, you'll never forget it believe me.

Well, since i always try to see the best in the movies i 'enjoyed' some scenes like the ant trying their best to eat everything (still bullshit, but a lot more plausible than 'IT'… Fucking Nuke scene !). Or some of the action fighting in the jungle (well… i admit that two parallel path in the Jungle is awfully bullshit, but the action there is quite good), and that is all i can remember that i thought it was good.

Well, i really agree with your saying about your childhood idol being destroyed, and i'll only say one thing :

'Indiana 4, A Puzzle Of PAIN !'

I agree with most of your arguments, but I never got why people have such a problem with the aliens. This is a “real” legend which ancient people of south america belived in.
Crystal skulls have actually been found and no one knows how they were made, according to physics they are not possible to make. I don't belive in aliens and think the entire legend is ludicrous, but I don't belive in God either and therefore I find the ending of Raiders or Crusade just as ludicrous. I am still a huge fan of the original trilogy (including Temple of Doom) because I am willing to suspend my disbelief. However I didn't like this movie and mostly agree with you, It didn't need to be made. I just think its a bit unfair to say that a legend is stupid because its from another culture than yours.

I recognise and remember one part of the score near the end when they're using rocks to bash at the obelisk thing because it is the exact same score from War of the Worlds when the tripods first start rising…my medal please

Ok, the only bad thing about the 2nd one was Kate Capshaw, IMHO. But the entire movie was such a step above Crystal Skull…

You left out the terrible “triple agent” thing, with Indianas old friend. That was the worst part, by FAR

i know this movie isnt on par with the first 3……but i honestly dont call it bad.

I was wondering if you were going to mention that refrigerator. Who thought that would be at all believable? I just imagine some writer somewhere saying, “Hey, I know!! Let's have Indy survive an atomic blast in a fridge!” Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to just go away and die.

This movie was, indeed, adequate. It was too OK to be good or bad.

Also, Temple of Doom is, like you said, is great. No Last Crusade or Raiders, but great.

Shia Labuttfuck. I'm remembering that. I've seen parts of this and I can't say I was ever the biggest Indy fan and I was indifferent to this one.

Spoony, the new George Lucas produced this and your surprised this looked fake?

I'm reminded of what Butthead once said “Just because something is cool doesn't mean something else doesn't suck!”

He so could of be fighting Nazis in Indy 4.  They were in South America

Ah yes, chocolate heals all wounds :)

I agree with you 100% Spoony. Indy was my childhood right along with Ghostbusters 1 and 2 and Back To The Future Trilogy. Also for the record  ALL THOSE PEOPLE BITCHING ABOUT GHOSTBUSTERS 2 AND BACK TO THE FUTURE 3 CAN KISS MY ASS! They are good in there own right not as good as the other films but fuck.. Ghostbusters 2 was pretty good in my book and I love it just as much as the first. As for Back To The Future 3 I rather enjoyed it. Not to mention the entire trilogy go together hand in hand. They are a really good example of how to make a good string of sequels. Anyone who has a problem with that statement can piss off. It’s how I feel and I’m not changing it.

I can handle the aliens. I can handle the nuke. I can NOT stand the dreadful Shia Labeouf.

i
know its 3 years later after this review and you may now be up to date
about this info but i figure it must be said for everyone else if not
for you, yes this movie was bad and im not even a fan of the old Indiana
Jones but im not bashing cause of that this movie was really bad BUT
back in 2006 there was a book that hinted to the Crystal Skulls being
the only thing to save this world in 2012 and in 2007 they had full
documentaries about it and groups who worshiped the skulls in hope that
they would really save us all and shit like that, thusly this was the
result of the movie it was on the boom of this stupid 13 crystal skulls
found all over the world and the mystery behind them so this movie tried
its best in a Hollywood fashion to explain them to the general public
and as you clearly paid to see just in a really bad attempt and i have
to say even though im not a fan of the series this movie killed the
other 3 it was so bad it didnt feel like and Indiana movie and putting
Shylafuck face in the movie cause he was a hit was just a fuckin ploy to
get the kids who liked him from the Transformers movies to hopefully
get a new audience just like most movies these days. so i feel your pain
on this but i hope this info helps you and everyone else here
understand the premise behind this movie and why they went with the
crystal skulls

yes i realize im no good at explaining things that well still hope it helps xD

You skipped the nuke? The NUKE? How can you review this movie and leave out the stupidest bit?

i liked this movie the other indy movie’s focus was on religion because that was the focus of the time periods the movies were set in.this new one is in the 50s when everyone was obsessed with aliens, so it makes sense to have aliens in it. Also how come people accept hearts being taken out, a ghost knight, and the ghosts in the ark, but a frige used as a way to escape a nuke people flip, its called leaving our minds out of the theater during a flipping action movie. it would be one thing if the frige scene was used but no aliens i would have a small problem, but I LOVE ALIENS SO FUCK IT, IT WAS ENJOYABLE AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS WITH A MOVIE. INDIANA JONES IS NOT AN ART MOVIE TO BE NITPICKED TO DEATH! 

I can’t take someone’s view seriously when they do the immature name changing thing like “Shia LaButtfuck”. Playground mentality.

I quite enjoyed Indy 4. Was it amazing? No, but it was a good, fun action romp which is what Indy is about.
For me there is only one great Indy film and that is Raiders. After that they are all “meh”.
I preferred it over Doom. No I do not think Doom is “ass”, I quite liked it. But it was very average.
Yes I agree Marion was underused. Yes Mutt was overused. However, it still had the Indy staples and it “felt” like an Indy adventure.
Bitching about how none of the characters came back (Sallah)…hey, they were not in Doom either. Yes I know Doom is a prequel, but Indy had known Sallah for years anyway.

I think the 4 Indy films fit into 2 camps. You have the more “grounded” and connected Raiders and Crusade. 
Then there are the more OTT, balls to the wall duo of Doom and Skull.
I like all 4, but as I said. Raiders is the only great one. The other 3 are watchable fun though.

I have no problem with the alien idea. I mean, Indy is based on those old B-movie/1940 serials and yes, they did feature aliens.
The only thing I disliked about Indy 4 was actually showing the aliens. It should have been mystery, it should have been left open to interpretation.
Did not like the ending when the alien outright shows up and kills the bad guy. Yeah it was like Raiders I agree. Yet in Raiders God him/itself did not turn up and kill the Nazis.
As I said, the aliens should have been mystery.

Just wanted to point out though Spoony. They didn’t “pass the torch” at all.
Almost, but not quite. Mutt picks up Indy’s hat and almost puts it on…then Indy takes it from him and wears it himself.
