By now you've probably seen this or heard it was not good, so hate to be redundant. I saw this the other day, and while it was not terrible, it was also not very good. It was a lot of fun, I'll admit, but it was one thing the other Indiana Jones movies weren't: stupid. Sure, a lot of ridiculous stuff happens in those movies (like this one), but they never felt like just plain dumb summer fun, which this one did. Anyway, one thing I never thought I'd say before this summer's movie season was done is that I liked Speed Racer a lot more than Indiana Jones, but there you have it. Sometimes you get an apple pie and sometimes somebody gives you a brick with your name carved in it, and while a brick with your name carved in it is certainly nice, apple pie is way more delicious. I don't know what I was getting at with that metaphor.RATING: 68%

I thought it was fun and didn't care if it was stupid because, well, I kind of expected it to be stupid. The only thing that annoyed me was the "family is the greatest thing ever and we should all love families" message, but I sort of expected that too since that is the message of every Spielberg movie these days (even Minority Report). I think that annoys me not because I hate families but because it's lame to try and fit the same damn annoyingly simple lesson into EVERY FUCKING MOVIE. You hear me Spielberg, LAME. In conclusion, Shia LaBeouf is hot, even if he does belong to the "group of guys who's name sound like hot girls" (according to my friend Terry).
Don't eat a brick?
This movie was pretty ridiculous--even if it was ridiculous fun. It was pretty cool, though, to see Karen Allen (aka Marion Ravenwood) back on the big screen. What it's been? Twenty years? More? Still, it certainly wasn't Raiders--even with the return of Indiana's old flame. Nice try though, Spielberg/Lucas.
