Something sucketh this way cometh
Monday, May 26th, 2008Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
One of the 10 worst films of all time.
Ridiculous and horrible script. I adore Cate Blanchett and her work, and I’m wondering why she agreed to make this film. Shia LaBeouf is a good actor getting better, but there was nothing for him to play with to get his character rolling. Excluding the blade tricks, but blade tricks do not a movie make. Harrison Ford is still gorgeous, but the sheer stupidity of the script made me not care about his hot factor. And Steven, you could have stepped in, slapped George, David and Jeff about the neck and head a few times and said, “Guys … Lori thinks this script sucks, and so do I.”
Fell asleep 3 times during the film. (My apologies to the lovely lady to my immediate left if I snored quietly during your film-watching experience.)
To the two very young motorcyclists behind me, I forgave you your age and lack of wisdom when you exclaimed with young whipper snapper glee, “That movie was awesome!” Children, children, don’t make me make an example of you in public. This was a terrible film and try as I might, the theater wouldn’t refund my money.
The hype of it all and I was stoked to see Indiana back in action. An incredible waste of my hard-earned dollars, my time, and my mental focus. There is nothing good about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and even the well-worn Indiana Jones theme music can’t save this film.
I am so disappointed. It’s three days later and I’m still lamenting the crappiness of this film.
Note to Santa: Please scratch off this DVD from my personal Christmas list. While you’re at it, if any of my family, friends, colleagues and/or enemies have requested you send this DVD my way later this year, please also scratch off those requests from their lists.
