Indiana Jones IV - Page 5

*Spitfire* · 05-27-2008, 02:00 PM

Wasn't very impressed with it. It entertained me but I forgot most of it pretty quickly. It lacked that epic feel I got from the other films and Indy figuring out the mysteries so fast made the movie less interesting to me. I also thought most of the action sequences were pretty bland.

All that jazz aside I was entertained so it succeeded on that and I was glad i had seen it.

What I forgot to say about this film is that it convinced me that Harrison Ford can still act. Whenever I see him on talk shows he always appears to be half stoned or not completely right in the head. So I was worried that he wouldn't be Indy in this film. But at no point during the movie did it cross my mind that Harrison had lost his touch.

You got that right. I saw him on Leno a couple of weeks ago and it seemed like he could not carry on a regular conversation. I was really wondering what the hell was wrong with him.

They prefer the term Intergalactic Travelers.

Oh come on - Aliens = not of this Earth, and they're not. They're aliens, plain and simple.

But, Rose. This is the Technodrome, land of the split hair.

I enjoyed it but it was pretty bland compared to the rest of the series. Shia LaBeouf was really miscast for the character tho. He always seems to play himself rather than acting a part and it simply didn't work for me in this movie. Speaking of the guy... the vine swinging scene really made me cringe.

*discordiatookie* · 05-29-2008, 02:40 PM

I really really enjoyed it. The whole film. Right up until the monkey swing part. WTF was that all about? Bloody George of the Jungle, right through the place. Then all of a sudden, he's Kinga the bloody monkeys, with them all attacking the Russians? Yeah, right. And the 'interdimensional traveler' at the end was a bit've a let down. I dig the whole alien side of it, but just seeing the alien at the end in all its crappy cgi sucked. For me at least....

But they's my only gripes. Loved the rest of it! And if i'm ever in a nuclear war, i'm grabbing me a fridge!!

Oh yeah, what's with all them gophers at the start?

To be honest I thought they were Prairie Dogs but I guess they were Gophers. As this amusing comic makes fun of:

*discordiatookie* · 05-31-2008, 02:02 PM

When I was writing that post, it went through my mind: "What the hell are they? Wassit beavers? Nope. Badgers? Nope. Gophers? Hmmm, sounds 'bout right."

So they coulda been prairie dogs, but if that funny says theys gophers, I aint arguing!!

A friend asked today if its a good film, to which I replied: "Its a good film. With a coupla sucky scenes. But in whole, its good..."

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-31-2008, 02:14 PM

I don't see the big deal with the gophers. They popped up at the beginning and then after the nuke blast. What's the big deal??? They were just there. Didn't do anything to the plot, ect. It's not like Indy started tunneling in the ground with them and then beating up Soviets with them. Who the f*ck cares???

They popped up, watched Indy as he went down the train track thing, and yes showed up after the Nuke blast.

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. :/

The scene took place in a desert....where some species of gophers live. So what if it was CGI. They were used for what, a grand total of 20 seconds?

Why gripe about that and draw a stupid comic about it.

When I lived in Mtn. Home, ID we called those little critters Whistle Pigs, because they made this whistling noise....*shrugs*

MrPliggins Foot Elite Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 3,051	Spoiler: I kind of suspected aliens after seeing the trailer because they showed them opening the crate that said "Roswell, NM" on it...so I wasn't really surprised by that. (also, they open that crate at the beginning of the movie, too...so you kind of know it's aliens right from the get-go...kind of a spoilerage there..) Aliens weren't really fitting, but didn't bother me. I thought the movie itself was pretty awesome...but I haven't seen the originals in so long I barely remember them. I need to track them down. I think the ending and killing of the bad guy character (Blanchett) could've been done better because I was confused on whether she died or just teleported to their ship.
