thanks for that.

No problem.

I think the best part was the refigerator scene. That was awesome.

I already knew about the aliens before I saw the movie, and I don't really mind. Space was a big theme back in the 1950s and I don't mind at all that they decided to go in that direction. I thought this movie was great fun to watch, and I don't understand how such simple entertainment can be so bashed.

If you're going to spoiler-tag that first word, you might want to consider the same treatment for "space".

Yeah I thought about that, but then I realized that most people probably know by now.

I watched the first three again this weekend. I'll probably watch KotCS after school is out if it's still on at the theater and I have time (I'll likely be moving soon).

Well, as long as your school is out early enough, it should still be in theaters. It is a huge box office hit, after all.

Ambulance Y · « **Reply #22 on:** June 02, 2008, 02:58:07 PM »

But that's only because it's a sequel to an already popular movie series.

So you're saying it wouldn't do well on its own merit as an excellently done movie?

Ambulance Y · « **Reply #24 on:** June 02, 2008, 08:37:51 PM »

No. If you haven't read my earlier posts, I enjoyed the movie. I'm just saying that probably a lot of the box office success came from the fact that Indiana Jones is already well-known and loved. It still might've done well on its own, just not as amazingly well.

On the other hand, some Indy fans I know didn't want to see it because they thought Harrison Ford was too old.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #26 on:** June 04, 2008, 04:46:32 PM »

I don't see how that really impacts the quality of the film. I mean, yeah, he's old, but they worked it into the story.

Is is just me, or are movies getting more child-oriented? I counted 1 swear in this movie, and no blood. Now compare this to the old ones. 0 0

Last I checked, swearing and blood don't make things better.
Take, for instance, a poorly-written game like Tales of Symphonia, which features an excessive amount of language seemingly just for the purpose of seeming mature or something, while Final Fantasy XII, a much better-written game, has roughly two instances of "swearing" and it's very mild at that, but deals with its environment and circumstances much better and makes a heck of a lot more sense. Things don't need "mature" content to be good, and lacking language and gore doesn't make something "child-oriented".

Whoo, Chup, chill out.

I was distressed by the lack of traditional gruesome death scenes, though they were still plenty messed up. Getting charred to death by a rocket, having ants crawl into every orifice on your body, and getting atomic-bomb-ed are all pretty nasty ways to die. I was especially surprised to see the first two happen on camera.
