Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Anyone planning to go and see this film when it opens on Thursday (Thursday?! What sort of day's that to open a film?!)? Will it be up to much anyway - an action film with a leading man of pensionable age? Only one way to find out I suppose!

I think it is likely that I will see this at the weekend rather than on thursday, I hope it is good and that there isnt too much cgi.

I plan to see it at some point in the near future. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, though.

Ugh, the CGI was horrible. What's wrong with good old-fashioned special effects anyway? I did quite enjoy this film for the most part, though. Apart from the ending, obviously, which was rubbish.

Oh, and Harrison Ford nowadays reminds me (especially in the action scenes) of Frank Drebin in the Naked Gun films!

Saw the new film today. Absolutely loved it, but I agree about the below-par special effects. Lucasfilm haven't quite mastered the "car hitting something" smash. They failed in Star Wars: Episode 2 as well.

Good plot though, but it got a bit silly at the end with the space ship taking off.

Great performance by Ray Winstone. What a legend!

4/5 stars for me - and I'm not even an Indiana Jones fan (which might have helped).

Remember to put a prediction in RED!!!
