You associate Doctor Who with Indiana Jones because of the doctor part? Are you retarded?
No really Crystal Skull was awful. The action scenes were completely unbelievable and pointless, and they could have Googled for less than five minutes on some conspiracy theory to find a better plot. The CGI was also atrocious. Bad movie. Concept good, movie bad. Same thing with Temple of Doom really, not a bad concept per say but the action just became stupid and pointless instead of adding to the film. And if I hear one more line of "I have a bad feeling about this" George, then... then.... GEEEOOOORGGGGEEEE!!!!!
The movies were all awesome, ones are betters than others off course, but i liked them all, inclucing the fourth. I heard all that bitching about the film, thought it sucked, but thankfully, i decided to watch it and ignore the haters.
People dont understand action cheese anymore.. No idiot whiners existed in the 80s complaining how funny the action was. Life is dull with indy
Seen all of them, great movies, Harrison Ford is a great actor.
[QUOTE=BmB;22467823]completely unbelievable[/QUOTE] Did you even see any of the other movies like where ghosts melt Nazi's faces, Indiana Jones walks over an invisible bridge to get a cup that can turn normal water into instant healing juice that puts the medkits from Half-Life to shame.
At the same time it all exists within the confines of something magical. There's a good reason in the plot for these unrealistic things to occur. What possible reason is there for Indy surviving say the infamous fridge? That impact should have killed 5 elephants at least. He didn't even look dizzy. And if the blast or the impact didn't kill him the radiation should. Then he steps out to stare for a while at the explosion (which really should be brighter than the sun), which is some of the shittiest CGI I've seen all week. I'm yawning and just about ready to turn this piece of shit off now. Again, I didn't mind the magnetic gold or the other supernatural shit with the skull because it was a magical item. Indy however is a normal man in a normal fridge against a normal nuke. Yet he magically survives. Contrast with something like the opening scene of Raiders where despite it all being conceptually unrealistic, it is well hidden and expertly presented as believable. I found myself cheering vocally for Indy within the first five minutes because I could believe the action.
I liked the new movie. Yes, there are some stupid scenes in it, but it's still very entertaining. Typical Indiana Jones movie, if you ask me. My favourite is the third one though.
To put it otherwise, stop comparing plot relevant magic to shitty movie nonsense, it doesn't make you look smart.

Dear God, Akayz, take your rose tinted glasses off.
[QUOTE=Memobot;22414652]True. It's amazing how graphic a Nazi can be melted in cinema, and yet can still retain a PG certificate.[/QUOTE] Airplane! was rated PG, but there was a giant pair of titties that shook on screen for like 10 seconds. Its also funny that Ronald Lacy (The guy that played Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark AKA face melting nazi) played Heinrich Himmler in The Last Crusade.

The Indiana Jones formula was about taking a common myth and adding a slight change to it. Two parties, Indy and <Enemy of the US> constantly trade hands and butt heads, finally reaching the finish line neck-and-neck, but <Enemy of the US> is killed by the supernatural. Not counting Temple because it was shit. Raiders: The Ark of the Covenant, it actually killing anyone who looks at it. Versus: Nazis. Last Crusade: The Holy Grail, a cheaply made little cup, killing anyone who guesses the wrong one out of a stack of hundreds. Versus: Nazis. Crystal Skull: Roswell, Aliens parked their ship under an Aztec(?) temple, lying dormant until their skull was returned. Versus: Soviets. May I also say that Crystal Skull came out on my birthday a couple years ago, and I secured myself a cute Russian girlfriend by being tough and clingable when she got scared. :smug:
i like how the knight keeps a straight face in last crusade i'd be snickering my ass off whenever someone was about to drink out of the wrong one
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;22326976]Last crusade was fucking awesome Sean Connery is just that badass[/QUOTE] "She talks in her sleep"
Raiders is by far the best in my book.

It's not because outrunning a giant boulder is any more realistic, but the cutting was used in such a way it never really became apparent. The fridge is staring me in my face obviously attracting attention to just how stupid it is.

But I thought it was a great tribute. I'm not implying that you MUST believe it mythology and you MUST be religious to understand how good it is. The second one needed a bit more understanding about the hinduism faith to get a kind of overview of what the fuck was happening. But in all seriousness, the movies were science fiction implemented into an adventure landscape. The facts about beliefs and the history... those things made indy great. It was inevitable that cheese had to land into the mix, thats why the second one is a GREAT movie. The third one is the masterful indiana jones which has the least flaws. Original, on the other hand... is in a reality of its own. Surprised it was even made in the 80s, felt like it was early 70s. Though the overall idea may have been laid out and refined in that period so all is good. :clint:
No the second one, again conceptually with the hindi whatever beliefs and tribal shit it wasn't bad at all. But it just turned into nonsensical mud near the end. Primarily these are action adventure movies. The adventure part may be down, but if the action is stupid it's shit. Crystal Skull however had a bad adventure, as I said they could have gotten a better plot by Googling aliens for five minutes. And the action was retarded beyond measure. (Fridge being merely the most obvious of these.)
[QUOTE=BmB;22485080]as I said they could have gotten a better plot by Googling aliens for five minutes.[/QUOTE] I dunno... its just I would reply with more babble but really I can't be asked :crossarms: Raiders - 10/10 Doom - 7/10 Crusade - 9.5/10 Skull - 6.9/10
I wouldn't put Crystal Skull above average and I would only put Doom as average. I'd put Crusade as above average and Raiders as high, not perfect but certainly high. Crusade is pretty close to Raiders anyway.
[QUOTE=BmB;22485655]not perfect but certainly high.[/QUOTE] whats the point of having 10/10 if it meant perfect?
Adventures of young india jones was a decent series two, i liked the ww1 part.
Numeric scores are made of fail anyway.
The Indiana Jones movies are cheesy because they are basically a tribute to the adventure film genre that was most prominent in the late 40s and the 50s.
Honestly I don't really think it's cheesy at all. Maybe I'm biased, but Indy is the real deal. A true adventurer. He's the kind of character you make tributes to, homages and parodies of. Not the kind of character who is intrinsically cheesy. It sort of transcends the cheese to become something more solid.

Crusade is much better than Raiders in my opinion.
The aliens were a cheap cop-out... I mean, the entire movie was great, building up onto this weird mytho's, and even though i kind've expected it to be about aliens, i didn't expect an alien to COME TO LIFE after morphing with all the other skeletons.. THAT, was just dumb... If it just had the UFO take off and that be it, it would've been much better. [editline]12:46AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Comrade General;22390874]DOCTOR Indiana Jones?
