I give folks who openly admit to liking Crystal Skull a lot of credit.

I openly like Crystal Skull

I openly like Attack of the Clones

And Twilight

[Plain Old Tele]

Y'know, I haven't seen it since it came out, and I thought the third act was problematic, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.

[RichWS]

I know you do, Baum. I know.

[baumer]

I personally thought Shia was really good in it and the story was good and Ford and Blanchett were good.  It did feel off in some places but for the most part, I really enjoyed it as well.  I know George has a fascination with aliens and so does Spielberg, so you can understand why they went with the alien theme.  

 

I think this one will be better.  But we'll see.

[CoolioD1]

crystal skull is real good. i don't even have any problems with shia either he's pretty charismatic in it.

[Chewy]

I wouldn't say I like Crystal Skull but it's not the prequels or the Hobbit

I think at the time I saw it, I enjoyed it about as much as TFA. Which kind of makes sense. Both films have nice setups, meandering middles, and kinda eh final acts, but it's still nice to see Ford step into those shoes again.

You thought the final act in TFA was ehh?  WTF?  The final act is the entire Solo dying and Ray getting the lightsabre.....how is this ehh?

Let's hope JonathanLB doesn't see this post.

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of you know what.  Not for the franchise that hosts one of (if not my #1) all time favorite movie.

 

I liked it better than #2.

 

Regardless, neither is exactly Jaws 4 quality.

[grey ghost]

They made a fourth Indiana Jones movie?

why can't Shia return? He is still acting. If they don't want him they will likely just ignore his character

Not really. After biting the hands that fed him (including Spielberg and Ford) and all of his other antics, he's been pretty much blackballed from the industry like Lindsay Lohan.

 

More likely if they bring the character back, they'll just recast. It'll be 11 years since the previous movie by the time this comes out anyway.

Yeah. To me it was kinda eh. I enjoyed it, but the film as a whole played too much nostalgia-bait to really invest me. By the time the third act happened I was just kinda...

Crystal Skull is real cool.

 

 

That said I almost convinced myself that this was a bad dream that I had had while dozing off in English class...

I just rewatched Crystal Skull recently.  Still liked it.

[kowhite]

Man I'm so conflicted.

 

I SOOO want this to be good.  I think Spielberg and Ford know they have some make up to do.  But...it can't be Ford kicking ass and taking name.  But then...younger actor?  Is it a young Indy?  Is it a new character?  Shit I keep thinking you can't replace Ford.

 

Seriously this announcement is a fucking cocktease...WHO is the other actor?  (Yes, there's another major one, I'm sure).  And what is he playing?  Tell me the concept!  I need to know!  Damn you Disney, this announcement.  I want to know who Pratt is playing!  No, I don't know if Pratt is in this movie.

Indiana Jones 4 was one of the most boring and forgettable films ever made
