Trust Tommy

ndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


I'll try to keep this spoiler free, but will probably fail so...SPOILER WARNING!

We went to see the 10pm showing, me and my two brothers.

Anyways,


Excellent film, up to fifteen minutes before the ending.


Harrison Ford explodes back into the role as if 19 years never happened. Sure, he's got a few grey hairs, but the "Indy smile" (watch this vid from 1:15 to 1:20) and after that, not much else matters when it comes to him.


Karen is another one that 19 years hasn't touched. Still looking as good as ever and the chemistry from the first film returns in shinning color.

Shia...I'm in two minds about this guy. The motor cycle chase is awesome but for the rest of it he's "oh look at me! I'm tough and I quit school! And I comb my hair cos I'm a big girl!"

Mac was just annoying, although I laughed when at the beginning he was like, "you don't know him, you don't know him..." when they were about to ram Indy


Blanchett was overall good. Some scenes annoyed me but overall she was good. Not in line with Rosa Klebb as Irish Radio said in their review, but probably my first or second favourite villain.

I decided last night too that, John Williams is the single greatest composer ever.

GOOD POINTS:
Area 51, motorcycle chase, scene in the back of the van, ensuing chase, the music



BAD POINTS:
Waterfall sequence, ending, Mac, some parts of Mutt, some parts of the plot, the lack of surprises



And for fun, POINTS IN BETWEEN The nod to the ark, the Dean, The fact that the box at the start was magnetic, and it was a gag that people's stuff stuck to it. But why didn't their guns stick?
