Can someone delete Tylerdurdens post? I didn't read all of it but it killed some of the movie for me.

You know, I realize some people don't mind having the film spoiled for them, but I on the other hand DO! IMO, him and others that post spoilers without warning should be worthy of getting banned from the site!

Again, just my opinion.

I agree, Falcon. As long as they post a "SPOLIERS" warning, I have no problem with it. It's when they don't it just pisses me off to no end!

this wasn't a stinker, but the primary creative forces were definitely on auto-pilot.

i don't blame the CGI, which simply replaced stuntspeople and matte paintings (which look as fake and terrible as CGI backgrounds).

i blame the script, which was plot- and exposition-heavy without devoting much time to character developments and casual conversations between friends.

the villain was boring--blanchett had no presence and pales in comparison to the bespectacled nazi in "raiders", mola ram in "doom", and dr. elsa schneider in "last crusade".

it took more than 15 years for lucas to come up with this story??? (N)

Again, as I mentioned on the "I saw KOTC..." thread, the movie was good, except for the first 15 or so minutes, when it's just rough and odd...

But the rest, on par with any of the sequels, even better...good thing I hadn't read this thread, or the spoilers would've done it for me

...

Again, four crystal skulls, out of five...
