If some may remmeber I did a post just a few days ago on my. I have something to confess.. it didn’t really go as planned. Starting late was not the problem. Problem with the viewing of each movie was the concentration.

The first movie, Indiana Jones: Raiders of The lost Ark…ok we were watching it and our attention was there. The second movie, attention was still there, but then it started to wane of a bit. So by the time Indy managed to get out of the Temple of Doom, we were just kinda talking to one another. Come the final movie, Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade… there was no concentration whatsoever towards the movie. lol. At best we were trying to catch up here and there, but we needed it mostly so that we could have background music while we talked with one another. But overall it was still a fun night… and no disrespect meant to the people of the movie, but we just weren’t in the mood at that point.  Some great memories came out of the screening though.

Now on to my thoughts on Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

It was a nice laugh. However that’s all, honestly. They had a lot of crazy jokes and sections that were pretty lame in the movie. The script was not entirely fantastic because it was kinda lame too, with cliche words. THe other thing which I just don’t get about some of the latest movies, is how incredibly over the top they are. As in they are completely ‘unbelievable’  – not in the good sense here.

Unbelievable how? Eg. Indy (Harrison Ford) was shot with machine and handguns while he was running through wooden beams that had gaps the length of half a meter give it. And he wasn’t hit even once? The he and a bunch of other people were riding in some submarine boat .. going over three waterfalls… THREE!! Not only for the first two did they survive, but the they were all still in the boat when they went over the waterfall… not possible! It was only till the third waterfall that they all finally got thrown off the boat. Did i mention that the waterfalls had rocks at the bottom?

Shia LaBeouf was hunky, charming and all James Dean like as his character Mutt. Which was pretty cute and what I said before about not liking the lady in the first indy movie. I take it back. I think Karen Allen has aged really gracefully and I liked her in this movie. But I think the couple banters were soooo…. funnily lame.

The movie have been bout Indy and his son, but the person who I think stole most of the show was Cate Blanchett. She played a marvelous character as the Russian military-want-to know-all lady. The accent and her features made it even more believable for her as a Russian.

Overall I give it s 6/10. Sorry…Just my thoughts though.
