I remember the dumb nerds complaining about the nuke in the fridge part as being ergeruous when in reality, the swinging with the monkeys was the step that went too far.
Yep. I didn’t have any issues with the fridge, but that monkey swinging shit was terrible. Nuking the fridge was actually in one of the original drafts from the mid 90s
We’ve been over this, everything up until the jungle kidnapping was classic Indy. He and Mutt has good chemistry. Minus the nuke scene, All the bad stuff happens later on in the 2nd half
>whole film feels like haze dream.
in a good way though, it makes the sci-fi 50s cold war stuff more intense. i started watching a bit of this on acid once
Bollywood is at least outrageous and it knows it. Hollywood being outrageous with a tone as if it weren’t equates to us laughing at them, not with them.
40 year old reddit boomers didn’t like it when it came out because they think everything is tailor custom made for them and only them
me and all the zoomchads that went to see it in the kinoplex as children enjoyed it, ESPECIALLY the monkey scene.
I don't care about the aliens, but we saw here that an Indy film cannot work if Ford doesn't bring his charisma into play. His performance in Crystal Skull was lazy and uninterested. Can't believe they're making another one.
I'll be serious, even though you probably wanted a shitpost. Here's the truth: >The part where Indy puts Mutt's beer back is soulful. >Indy having a greaser son is not a bad idea on it's face >Russian supernatural propaganda is not a bad concept >"im getting old!" jokes were tiresome even though, I can't wait to see the ones they make in the new one >Cate is well casted and is taking the role appropriately tonally
This is from an Indy fan who will try to see the good.
i agree
it's full of great indy moments over all
it's just people hate the alien stuff which so what?
the arc was a weapon
the sankara stones are a shield
the grail is medicine
the crystal skulls are communication devices
religion was probably just humans not being able to understand things anyways
it's just the terrible vine swinging where shia looks completely weightless and floaty instead of real even without the monkeys
i like shia but a lot of people hate greasers but he was fine to good throughout it all
mac was fun and
>Mac is on Indy’s side >now he’s on the Russian side >Mac is on Indy’s side >now he’s on the Russian side
What were they thinking making him go back and forth twice as a double agent?
i think he was just winging it and kept trying to be on whoever was the winning side
and aping donavon's role from crusade
the fridge and nuke are over the top but no more than the raft sliding down the mountain in temple
marion was fun
i don't remember much about the soviets which is a big weak point
nobody really stood out for me neither the chick nor any notable henchmen
and this scene is up there out of all four (so far) movies
>Mac is on Indy’s side >now he’s on the Russian side >Mac is on Indy’s side >now he’s on the Russian side

It would be a lot easier to enjoy without forcing a son into the movie. It was a big distraction, threatening every second with a character they seemed to be attempting to tee up as some replacement.
> tfw you get mogged by a live action Dora the Explorer movie > tfw the live action Dora the Explorer is better than every other adventure movie of the past five years
I had hoped uncharted would fill the indiana jones shaped hole in my heart, but jesus fricking christ the movie was shit. I would give my left nut for Jensen Ackles to play Nathan Drake in a faithful Uncharted adaption.
It was ok, better than nothing, I just miss the adventure-comedies so I can't be choosy. Still didn't like the lost city though. The mummy and the first 3 indiana jones movies haven't been reached yet, let alone topped. Angelina Jolies Tomb Raider hits the same notes for me though. Still not quite as good though.
don't have a playstation. I waited for years to play Halo 2 and 3 on the PC because I never bought an xbox either, so I figure I can wait a while to play uncharted on pc as well.
The should have deconstructed the character by having him no longer be able to hold in his liqour and having constant joint and back problems and high blood pressure from old age and that the grail won't stop him from physically deteriorating like in Young Indy.
I know Cinemaphile hates them but RLM really made the final point about crystal skull, which is that Indy is an "I want to be him" character and you can't have a 70 year old "I want to be him" character unless you are also 70 like Lucas and Spielberg were. And now they're going to do it with an 80 year old when they're also 80.
I reevaluated: its even worse than I remember.
kys
Same.
At the moment it’s shit, but it’s on track to be certified kino come next July
I remember the dumb nerds complaining about the nuke in the fridge part as being ergeruous when in reality, the swinging with the monkeys was the step that went too far.
it's how it always goes with this shit, everyone fixates on one scapegoat criticism like Jar jar that stands in for all the dissatisfaction in general
Yep. I didn’t have any issues with the fridge, but that monkey swinging shit was terrible. Nuking the fridge was actually in one of the original drafts from the mid 90s
Exactly. The fridge and jar jar are easy to complain about but would probably be forgiven if the movies were good
We’ve been over this, everything up until the jungle kidnapping was classic Indy. He and Mutt has good chemistry. Minus the nuke scene, All the bad stuff happens later on in the 2nd half
i hate lighting in this movie. saturation, blur and everything. whole film feels like haze dream.
>whole film feels like haze dream.
in a good way though, it makes the sci-fi 50s cold war stuff more intense. i started watching a bit of this on acid once
it has always been better than temple of doom
I had to google if it really existed because I thought it was a meme picture.
I want to get pegged by Cate's character in this.
It was never even that bad.
At least Indy feels like Indy in this one, I wonder how much they will frick him up in the next movie
The nuke was Bollywood kino. I'm sorry you all got filtered.
Bollywood is at least outrageous and it knows it. Hollywood being outrageous with a tone as if it weren’t equates to us laughing at them, not with them.

Watch Cinemaphile contrarians pretend this movie is some hidden masterpiece that filtered people when Indy 5 comes out

correct
was it really that bad?
probably not
then again anyone who reads into Indy like Star Wars is a moron
>The main draw of the series is seeing old-school movie magic and death-defying stunts performed for real.
>Let's just do it all in CG this time!
>old school
shut the frick up zoomer they weren’t looking 40 years into the future when they made them
I was 8 years old when I saw this in theaters and it's when I realized that things I liked could actually be bad
More importantly, did you learn that things could be bad but you could still like them?
Imagine Lucas and Spielberg not being NPC enough to be wishy-washy about the cold war
its a genuinely awful flick
this is how you know prequels gays are full of shit
you can defend crystal skull in the same way and no one would notice
Villian was kinda hot, but that's all it has going for it. It was bad, but the one Disney is working on right now will be worse.
It would have been good if Ford wasn't a geriatric. You could smell his adult diaper in every single scene he was in.
>You could smell his adult diaper in every single scene he was in.
I like imagining the smell.
Ok, here I go. It's shit
It would be a lot easier to enjoy without forcing a son into the movie. It was a big distraction, threatening every second with a character they seemed to be attempting to tee up as some replacement.
It's more entertaining than The Batman.

What’chu think of jungle cruise?
It was ok, better than nothing, I just miss the adventure-comedies so I can't be choosy. Still didn't like the lost city though.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold is more on the comedy side than adventure, but I’d recommend it still. Surprisingly fun “kids” movie, even for adults.
The Uncharted games are better Indiana Jones-style movies than any other recent movie. Just play those instead
don't have a playstation. I waited for years to play Halo 2 and 3 on the PC because I never bought an xbox either, so I figure I can wait a while to play uncharted on pc as well.

Nah, it sucks.

And now they're going to do it with an 80 year old when they're also 80.
I hope that this becomes the new movie which prequeltards ironically defend on this board.
>people can't change their minds because...
>well they just can't, okay???
This is the exact scene where the movie falls beyond redemption. Everything including and succeeding this one is trash.
Never hated it. It's a decent 6/10, while the other three are 7/10. That's right, they were never masterpieces in the first place.
