Absolute tosh :/

Remember how disappointing and rubbish Star Wars Ep1 was?

It's like that. There's even the Greaser who is up their with JarJar Binks for annoyingness.

Gash I'm afraid.

Chuckles · 23-05-2008, 01:24

Sorry but comparing Shia LaBeouf to Jar Jar is complete and utter tosh. I just don't understand what isn't to like about the film. I thought Shia played a good character and thank goodness for once Ray decided to keep his natural accent and not go bastardising some other one when he keeps slipping into cockney all the time.

Are their spoiler tags on this forum? I'd happily go into it in a lot more detail, but I wouldn't want to give away part of the plot!

Yes there are spoiler tags on here surprised you've not seen them. Feel free to go into detail.

To be honest there are always going to be people that don't like it, i sat there at the grand finale thinking this is a bit stupid but i really enjoyed everything else which meant for me it was a great film. I laughed, jumped and discussed continuity errors with the people i was with. May i just add that his lessons are the most bizarre even by archaeology lecturer standards, Skara Brae then throws in something COMPLETELY unrelated. Although if my lecturer did that through the library to help students i'd definitely spend more time there

Well first of all, I'll say that I'm an absolutely huge Indiana Jones fan. My favourites are ROTLA and TLC but I do like TOD as well.

Good Bits.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

Regardless of Harisson Ford being old, I thought he was still really good. He plays the character the same way as the previous films and the fact he was older didn't really make a difference.

The bit where they get blown up in the H bomb test is awesome

End Spoiler Alert!

Bad Bits

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

The Greaser kid is rubbish. More annoying that the Chinese kid in TOD

The GCI is really over the top

No Nazis. The commies just aren't the same!

The whole love story thing culminating in the shockingly cringeworthy ending and relationship between the 3 main characters. What made the previous films was the humour between IJ and the girl in it. The affection just doesn't work.

There is so much explanation of the plot going on it gets boring. The plot itself isn't up to much either. I'm normally quite into over the top storylines, but it just doesn't work for me in this instance.

The most important thing of all though is it just isn't funny. Don't think it made me laugh once. There are some brilliant scences in the previous ones. Where he is faced with the guy with the big sword and shoots him, the "No Ticket" line in the Zeppaline, when the girl hides in the wicker basket in the market full of them. There's none of that at all in this one

End Spoiler Alert!

Saw it today, really liked it. It's not going to appeal to everyone I guess, I think some people had quite a lot of pre-conceptions about it anyway. It appealed my my sense of humour, I found it funny and yes it was over the top, but I was expecting it to be. It's Indiana Jones not the Discovery Channel

We're going on Sunday morning, yay!
