Ok, safe for me to post since you did the spoiler plug...but I agree.
Here's our scenario...
I have not followed any Internet Spoilers...neither has my son.
My 13 year old son has really grown to like Egyptology and Archeology..so naturally, the Indy stuff fits him. He was so excited, he wanted me to take him to the Midnight showing on Wednesday..but I was too tired..told him we'd go see it Thursday at 7pm. Yesterday was my wedding anniversary and I had already promised Sean we'd go to the movies. So I told him it would have to wait until Friday night so the Mrs. and myself could go out to dinner. Well, Sean was disappointed...I told the wife what I did and she didn't mind if dinner went short...so i took Sean to the show.
Yeah, we laughed here and there..thought "this" was cool or "that" was cool...but ya know..it just didn't feel right to me....he looked like he was enjoying, so i let the magic do its thing.
As we walked out...he asked me what I thought...i kept the poker face on...saying it was alright...well...he blindsided me.
A 13 year old boy, who is into this stuff...told his father it wasn't worth the excitement. He was totally upset it centered around Aliens...he was wanting indy to chase down that illusive treasure...he kept sayin "aliens? how could they have done aliens?"
WOW.
Totally was not expecting that, even though that is how I felt.
It was a good summer popcorn movie..but I am completely and utterly tired of Lucas *******izing these shows. I am done with him. getting me to pay for a ticket to see his stuff is over. Having the backbone of Spielburg, Frank Marshall and that gal who produced ET...gave me a sense of security...made me feel it was actually going to be a great Indiana Jones flick....it was not. I could have waited for dvd.
harrison is a great actor, but was too old to play the part...not to be an oxy moron, but he was physically fit...at least portrayed so. it was really nice for me to see the nod to Marcus Brody and Jones Sr. in that one scene.
Now. Stop reading this and go see Iron Man if you haven't already...THAT was a fun, action packed exciting movie.
