Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I try to give my opinion of Indiana Jones 4 without spoiling any of it.
I recently saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I, like many other kids, was raised on the original trilogy. I think I’ve seen The Last Crusade about 38 times, so I was pretty excited to see something new. (I was also sitting right up in the front row, which meant I had to turn my head a lot to see who was talking and what was going on.)
I’ve read other reviews saying things like,
“it was so cheesy/campy”
“there were plot holes”
“that stunt couldn’t have been possible in real life!!”
“that’s not historically/culturally accurate”
Now wait, folks. Have you ever SEEN the original movies? Remember them jumping out of the plane on an inflatable raft, and then floating safely down through the air? Stereotypes running wild? Heck, I think this movie fits in just perfectly with the other three. You can sit and criticize the disregard for physics or human sustainability (how exactly do you live in a wall?), or you can enjoy the ride. Indy’s less of a cocky firecracker here and more of a trash-kickin’ old man, and that’s fun to see. Cate Blanchett also rocks the house. I’m an Aztec/Mayan nerd, so seeing that setting was extra fun. I left the theater pretty sure I would watch the first three movies at some point this week – especially Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In short: See it with your friends, it’ll be fun.

Me and my sister used to watch Even Stevens. Truly it was the best show on the channel.

I think this movie will do well at the box office.
I’ve never seen it, but Shia LeBeouf is a sure-fire way to make a movie popular. I don’t understand either… do you know how often he says “NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!” in a movie?

Answer: A lot. I trust that he said it frequently in Indiana Jones, too.
I like him, though. Have you SEEN Even Stevens? It’s the greatest Disney show–ever!
