You know, I decided to ignore this thread for two reasons: haters and spoilers. I just took the whole family to see it (again), and so I decided to just say this.

It's the best of the series, and now also one of my favorite movies ever. Everything from the INSANE beginning (random nuclear bombs FTW) to the John Williams credits fanfare--it all made me smile and go back to a simpler time without tarnishing the memory. It just reminded me why I love Indy so much.

Since nobody answered...

Harrison Ford seems to have a problem with public appearances. He's perfectly fine on camera as a professional, but when you put him in front of a live audience, he chokes up. It's like a phobia or something. He's always been like that. Frankly, the talk show tour for Indy 4, he was probably at the best I've ever seen him on a talk show, but of course, he's never done that many anyway for said reasons. It's weird, but nothing new.

The point is tho...they were there and there was no reason for em. Yes the monkeys had a reason (to beat up the Russians) but there was no need for CGI Gophers/Prairie Dogs.

We care because well cute animals weren't needed for this film!! Gophers and Monkeys...WTF? Those man eating ants...they were usefull a bit....but the Gophers didn't do a darn thing...they shouldn't have even been in the movie. :/
There's way better targets for this movie to complain about besides gophers. The fact the entire film falls apart by the end of act 2 for one. The bad CGI insect/animal swarm scene we've seen a million times, the horribly choreographed fight sequences, and the predictable as all hell plot. Which it's their own fault it's so predictable because they gave us every hint in the first 15 minutes of the movie almost.

Like I said I was entertained but there were somethings I had serious issues with. The first few scenes really stuck in my head though they were great. I was even enjoying the movie when Disney boy jumped aboard which is rare because I can't stand him. After they exit the tomb they get the skull from is when the movie fell apart for me. The entire jungle fight scene and onward.

Well, considering how much lame **** you enjoy, I don't think any of us are taken aback.

I have to agree with Spit. First half of the movie was really good. I felt like I was watching an actual Indy movie. The second half or maybe last third just completely messed up my opinion of the movie.

I thought it was good, 3rd best of the series.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING will be as bad as Temple of Doom.
