My wife and I watched it the other night and I also came away not caring for it all that much. The de-aging effects and other CGI tomfoolery weren't all that great in some instances, the film was FAR too long, and Ancient Indy only partially worked for me. The best part of the movie were the...

Good one! :) For me, yeah, it was that bad. Swinging with the monkeys, the army ants, the totally unbelievable chase along the cliffs, etc., etc. Not only was much of that stuff completely implausible, the effects were really poorly done, even for the tech at the time, IMO. Anyway, I didn't...

The horrendous CGI was what I disliked most about Crystal Skull. It really jumped the shark for me.

I'll eventually watch it when it hits streaming and/or the 4K disc release, but I'm not going to rush to the theater and get in line. The industry's constant milking of "franchises" and "properties" until there's absolutely no moisture left in them really rubs me the wrong way. IMO Harrison...

Here's how Variety reported it: https://variety.com/2023/film/news/indiana-jones-5-cannes-standing-ovation-harrison-ford-1235615678/

Perhaps it was the experience with Indy when she was so young that pushed her into the life she was leading in Nepal. It's not a huge stretch at all to see that as a possibility.

Are you the Posting Police? ;) Bryan was replying to Tino's comment and I was merely tying Tino back in with my mention.

Nor are The Last Crusade or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Ehh, I'll give you that one, Tino. ;)

I think it sounds like something off of Wheel of Fortune. :laugh:

I thought that title was a prank when I first saw it. That's the best they could do? Really???

Casting Henry Gibson as the Nazi leader was pure genius.

Obviously taken on the set of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Paul McCartney isn't playing Indiana Jones last time I checked. ;)

Good points Travis. If they're going to make him look younger than he really is they're going to have to be very careful about trying to get him to ACT younger than he really is.

Harrison Ford is pushing EIGHTY. They can de-age his face all they want, but there's no way they're going to be able to hide the way his elderly body moves. They can only do so much with doubles. If they go down this road they might as well just make him entirely CGI, and what's the point?

I don't know if "revitalizing" is the right word to use when talking about a film that stars an almost 80-year-old Harrison Ford. :laugh:

No worries, Josh!

I'm just some guy expressing my own opinion about another Indy film, Josh. I really don't see the need for it. Hyperbole? Nope. I simply happen to think that KOTCS pretty much WAS a dumpster fire. It might have been a "critical" success, but a lot of people didn't really care for it all that...

Yes Jake, obviously. That doesn't answer the real question though. I'll just quote another Harrison Ford character here - "I've got a bad feeling about this."

This just illustrates the main issue with making this film in the first place for me, which is... why???

I tend to agree, Tommy. The film stands on its own two feet as far as I'm concerned, and I've always interpreted Marion's "I was a child" comment as meaning she was young, naive, and not emotionally prepared to be "dumped" by Indy.

Fleabag was absolutely brilliant. What a great show!

Man, how I hate social media.

Guaranteed. Disney milks its properties until they're bone-dry, as evidenced by most of the announcements today.

That’s was really great.

I had no problem with the period it was set in or the age-appropriateness, I just didn't care for the story, the execution, or some of the characterizations. Many of the CGI effects were poorly done. I rank Crystal Skull at the very bottom of the four films. You're right, we'll just have to...

Something that Hollywood is full of, unfortunately. Look at KotCS. Most definitely NOT a compelling story IMO. However, your point about Mangold is a good one. Logan was pretty damned good.

Come on man, she's a TOMB RAIDER! ;)
