thanks for the post :)

Thanks. Going it check this out. The Star Wars reviews where hilarious.

ehehehe

This should put the final hammer smash on anybody who still thinks Skull is the 3rd best indiana jones

"indiana jones and the attack of the giant ants'

I like the point he makes about how the character is supposed to be someone every guy secretly wants to be, & seeing him as a worn out old man with a wife/kid, going on a watered down politically correct adventure, sort of wrecks that when we'd rather just have the idea of Indiana Jones as some eternal ageless 1930s hero, going on insane world tours without consequence.

I haven't watched the movie nor do I plan to but I found it odd that he would leave the fridge scene out of the review.

i know him and mac had a history together of fighting in WW2 or whatever, but after a certain point the double and triple crosses started to make Indiana Jones look like a stupid retard

I liked it even though it wasn't as good as some other reviews.

wait, whats the worst one? Temple of Doom? I loved that one.

Crusade will always be my fave though...fuckin' Marcus Brody...love that guy.

a lot of people HATE Temple of Doom.

what? they're just idiots then.

anyone who thinks crystal skull is better than any of the originals is clearly not worth listening to (unless they're like, not talking about indiana jones or something)

Is one allowed the opinion that both the cristal skull and temple of doom were equally steaming piles of shit?

just askin'

it would be a wrong opinion, so no.

lol, for my money Temple of Doom (im probably parroting this from some blog i read) is closer to the vision Spielberg and Lucas set out to do in taking an old serial and translating it to a modern film. Even though Raiders is my favorite

yeah, temple of doom is a fantastic film. i have no idea what bob dobalina is babbling on about.

I've always thought the Indy films and the Die Hard films follow the same pattern; the first one is iconic, the second is the weakest of the original 3 (while still being very entertaining), the third is probably the most fun, with a good bickering double-act, and number 4 comes many years later, and fails to recapture the spirit of the originals. Although having said that, I think Die Hard 4 probably does a better job of sticking to the formula without just becoming a self-referential wankfest.

Die hard 4 is fucking awesome. He drives a car into a helicopter WHILE THE HELICOPTER IS IN FLIGHT.

For a way late 4th in a trilogy, Die Hard fucking nailed it. Love that movie.

I thought Die Hard 4 had some good action in it, but I hate how it was rated PG-13. He couldn't even say "yippy ki yay mother fucker." There's a gun blast that happens at the same time that basically mutes him.

This thread inspired me to watch Die Hard 3 again.

yeah to be fair, i don't want to be too hard on die hard 4, despite some shortcomings, i enjoy it a lot. It certainly does a better job than Indy 4. CGI gophers can suck my balls.

Perhaps if you're into fugly leading ladies, lil wiener kid sidekicks, and chase scenes through thunder mountain disneyworld, then maybe.
