Quote:Originally posted by chrisisall: I hear Jones kinda sucked, and that Hulk was very good. I rented Iron Man & was suitably impressed, though I felt it's real-world references (terrorism IRL) brought me a little out of what should have been pretty much a fantasy movie, but maybe that's just me. I wanted to see him fight a comic book villain, not a crappy & VERY stupid jihadist clown. But I won't deny the guilty-pleasure factor of seeing the MFer get waxed. The Mandarinisall

Quote:Originally posted by Slowhand: Yeah. The terrorist group is part of an organization called the 10 Rings. So, the villians were from the comic. But I understand what you were saying. There wasn't a villian per say. However, Iron Monger was cool at the end. And they definatly dropped hints with the 10 Rings that The Mandarin will be the villian in part 2. Also, Iron Man may be getting some help from War Machine. There was a little nod to him as well.

Quote:Originally posted by Shinygoodguy: Indy 4 was kinda fun, but not up to par with any of the first three, I still say that Raiders of the Lost Arc, is one of the Top 10 movies of all-time. Nice to see Karen Allen back, but I think they wasted a perfect opportunity to make her appearence a memorable one. Anyone seen Hellboy 2: Golden Army? I heard it was really good.

Quote:Originally posted by singate: I also enjoyed Indy 4. Somnambulist is spot on about so many people nowadays slamming everything because it is the cool thing to do. Not saying it was the best of the 4 but it sure as hell isn't the worst.

Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: Yeah, well, some of us disliked it because we just didn't think it was very good. Being "cool" has nothing to do with it. Raiders is my favorite film ever, but KOTCS just fell flat for me. Too much CGI, too weak of a script. It's the only Indy movie where the ending would have been no different if Indy had just gone home.

Quote:I hate 'serious' action flicks where tons of virtually bloodless squeeky-clean violence ensues. My rule: if the action is FUN, it had better be a superhero movie or something, because violence, real violence, is NOT fun to watch. And that's why I liked Rambo- it was NOT fun to see the blood, but it served it's dramatic purpose IMO. I didn't think Stallone had it in him.

Quote:Originally posted by TheSomnambulist: Well I enoyed Indy 4. Frankly there was little that was going to stop me enjoying this film as it's original was perhaps the single greatest reason why I love cinema, and I was certainly not going to let 21st century 'cool' or cynism as I like to call it, ruin the experience of going to see it at the flicks with my girlfriend.

Quote:Totally disagree. The fridge scene nearly ruins the whole movie for me. Indy's always been in extreme and fantastical situation, but through it all, he's human. He hurts, he bleeds. A single punch can and has sent hem reeling. A tumble like that in the fridge would have broken every bone in his body. It was on par with the equally rediculous raft scene in Temple of Doom.

I forgive it only because it's the only thing in the movie like that (personally, I would have had the fridge door open and had Indy mostly unconscious, just waking to the fireball in the sky...).

Really, let's analyze the differences... The look of the film was somewhat washed out (no Slocombe). Ford was, of course, older looking. The music was not as vibrant as it could have been (I mean the new themes). Russians instead of Nazis. Did I miss anything? Seem like mostly small potatoes to me...Doctor Jones. isall
