Err, from Amazon or Netflix of course.
Me and a lady friend caught an afternoon showing of the latest Indiana flick. It sucked. Never again should anyone allow George Lucas to have any creative input into the development of a movie.
There was no need for CG scenes involving prairie dogs and the tarzan scene was absolutely ridiculous.
Furthermore, the cliche stereotypes of the Russians and Native warriors were ridiculous. Where was the originality? The Russians weren’t even a believable nemesis nor did the dominatrix psychic manage to frustrate me like the Nazi bosses in Last Crusade. Send her to an ESL program and find a bad guy, preferably named Ivan (from a gulag of course) that can really evoke animosity.
And the dialogue they gave his son was retarded (sure I just spoiled it a little for you, but trust me, it’s not a big let down). Somewhere in the middle he turned from being a fake greaser to a wheeney akin to John Connor in Terminator 3. Grow some balls.
And jesus h christ, Speilberg has officially spent wayyyy too much time staring at E.T. posters.
For those of you wanting a comparison, it’s about as cheesy as the National Treasure and Tomb Raider films. Actually, to be fair at least Nicholas Cage has a seemingly witty sidekick. No such assistant character stood out in this heretical canonization.
1 out 5. The only saving grace is the music and the fact that the historical names used in the film actually existed. Plus in the motorcycle chase scene you get a chance to see a bit of Yale which is aesthetically pleasing. Certainly beats looking at unrealistic CG jungle all day (the very ending kind of reminded me of what happens to the jungle temple in The Mummy Returns).
