I am sorry to say...Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull Goofiness

Well. That was...not...quite what I'd hoped. Was somewhat more enjoyable once I decided to view it as an extremely well-funded piece of mediocre fanfiction. Through that lens, it was more fun. But still...not.

ETA: Somebody smack the pen out of George Lucas's hand, okay?

Agreed.

I saw it last Thursday and while it was fun, it just didn't seem to be Indiana Jones to me. At least not the caliber we've come to expect from Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.

Generally I say that iconic movies of the 80s that they try and "update" for audiences of today just don't quite work out. Look at Lethal Weapon 4 (while decent, wasn't up to par with the originals), or Die Hard 4, Star Wars 1 2 3, and now Indiana Jones.

I have a post in the process that kinda says the same thing. LOL
