Indiana Jones 4

[Buried At Sea]

so i finally caught this on DVD. i tired to put everyone else opinions on the film out of my mind and enjoy it.

Fucking inter-dimensional beings.

The only thing that didn't irritate the shit out of me in this film was John Hurt, because he's awesome.

This film was terrible.

1 just for Hurt.

I have watched this again since the cinematic release and it must have been my rose tinted glasses at the cinema. I remember I said it was like a 4/5 film but it's really not very good is it? Oh dear... in my defence at the time I watched it at the cinema I was hideously drunk! I gotta downgrade this to a 2.5/5.

I still really like bits in it but too much just anoyed me on second viewing. And all films should have some ability of longevity if they want to be good!

Buried I totally agree with you, John Hurt was the one and only saving grace for this film!

The CGI monkeys, the escaping a nuclear blast in a fridge, the crap sword fight on two trucks...
It was just so shockingly bad...

Absolute ****. Comfortably the worst film I've seen from The Beard. I can't even be bothered to mention the fridge.

When I heard they were making a 4th film I thought it was a bad idea , but I had faith, don't know why I did becasue this film was terrible. Completely killed the classic trilogy.

I was never a huge Indiana Jones fan. Never got into the Jones/James Bond style adventures, although Last Crusade is really good fun. So I was neither excited nor disappointed by the fact they made a fourth.

But it wasn't great. It felt like it'd been filmed chronologically and Harrison Ford had taken a few weeks to get into the swing of playing Indiana Jones again. His comic timing was also pretty rusty. I cringed at points.

Shia LeBeouf's watchable (not sure about Spielberg thinking he's the new Tom Hanks) but again, in this he was no more than that. I needn't cite the monkey scene.

How many times did Ray Winstone need to betray/un-betray/re-betray both sides?

Cate Blanchett I like, but not in this. Particularly her Standard Evil Eastern-European Accent. Which may be intentional, but it irritated me a bit.

Treated John Hurt very badly. He had such dignity and grace in The Elephant Man.

Two main problems; The first being the lack of a proper, intruiging MacGuffin, which I guess is what made 1 and 3 successful and 2 less so.

The second is the people who have a problem with the fade at the beginning (the mountain-groundhog reference to Raiders).

This post makes it seem I hate the film. I don't. It was just...forgettable. Which ain't good. Particularly from a Spielberg film. I'm stunned I managed to remember enough to write the above since I saw the film only once. While a little tired. At midnight on the day of release.
