George Lucas is a lot like Russell T Davis. I appreciate and respect him for what he has done for popular culture, but I wish he’d leave his creations to be written by someone with a bit more of an eye for a story.
Kerry and I have just got back from seeing Indiana Jones. It was good, but it wasn’t great. Which is about what I was expecting. The CGI was a bit overused but I expected that. The plot was a little tired and the twists a little overused but I expected that too. The car chases were cool, as expected. And there were a few rather amusing quips, which was, yes you guessed it, pretty much expected too.
Yep, there weren’t many surprises here good or bad. The film stayed true to the Indiana Jones character, which was the most important thing. It was no Iron Man, but it was no Robocop 3 either.
You’ll probably want to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but to be honest you can probably wait until it comes out on DVD.

I know I definitely watched it through the eyes of my son. I kept looking over at him to see this huge grin on his face all the way thought the movie.
If it had been just me, or my wife and me, maybe it would’ve seemed all a bit silly and predictable.
I feel the same way about National Treasure and Night At The Museum. My opinion of both movies is absolutely improved because I watched them with my kids.

I did read the Sunday Times Magazine article where they said CGI wouldn’t feature heavily as they wanted to keep the look and feel of the older movies, I guess they lied?

I’ll tell you what is nice though. Thjat the film was released almost simultainiously worldwide. None of this America getting it a month first rubbish.
Coem to think of it Iron man was like that too.
