Saw the new Indiana Jones last night. 2 hours long. Thankfully I had the foresight to go to the restroom beforehand. Review:

Definitely worth price of admission. Like one would expect, it's action-packed with some funny bits and full of excruciatingly brutal deaths. No Nazis, though, this time it's Soviet Russians, and in Soviet Russia, TV watches YOU.

I kid. Anyway, there's a twist, and even some cameo appearances. And, of course, Indy's famous, notorious, and understandable morbid fear of snakes.

Two thumbs up, I say.

I enjoyed this movie a lot and liked how it's set up for closure and also possible continuation as well.

This movie gave me good reason to consider buying the original three in DVDs or some such for my father, who's a big fan of the series and enjoyed this movie as well.

I don't see why people are panning it, except they want to get attention for panning it, I personally found it a better movie than Temple of Doom maybe on the level of Raiders though No Last Crusade.. but really what movie can live up to something with Sean Connery and Harison Ford?

None. No movie whatsoever can beat Connery and Ford in one movie like that. Really.

Unless they were to join forces with Depp. And lo, we would worship them as a Trinity.

No, not that Matrix chick. :O

Saw it myself, loved it. I thought that the plot was awesome, and Mutt was likeable enough. Definitely one I'll see again!

I watched the film last week and I loved it. However I thought raiders of the lost ark was a bit better. This film just seemed a bit too ridiculous

Now see, to me, that is what Indy is. Like Last Crusade, it got a bit over the top in some areas, but that added to the fun!

It wasn't as mediocre as I thought it might be. I thought that there were some flaws, like the pace of events and super linear plot, but it wasn't all that much of a big thing. I just hope they don't decide to make anymore of this series, especially with the kid as the lead. No. Just... no.

I saw this the other day, and I enjoyed it well enough. I'd never seen an Indiana Jones movie before, so I was kinda worried that I may get lost in some of the past references. Luckily my friend, who had seen the previous movies, was sitting next to me and filled me in on the references to the first movie. But, thankfully for me, there wasn't to much that you had to go to the past movies to understand.

The only thing I would really complain about in this movie was how it seemed... slightly Sci Fi-ish near the last quarter of the movie. Now, I haven't watched enough Indy to really know, but to my knowledge they had never used such Sci Fi things before and it seemed kind of out of place. *Shrugs* Still a good movie, no regrets about payin' my money to go see it.
