Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

"Despite the shoe-in of a spectacular box office performance, the reviews have spoken loud and clear. This is not a review. This is an analysis."

If you've seen the movie, all of this makes a LOT of sense, this guy really seems like he knows what he's talking about.

I already heard it was a damn piece of shit, but now I'm convinced.

Not that I wanted to watch a silly adventure movie anyways.

I agree with all of the points. I still enjoyed it though :P. It's like a Brian Herbert novel. Good, some nice points, but it could have been BETTER.

I'd say the movie was good, but could've been better.

I agree with most of what the review/analysis had suggested, and the movie's flaws were summarized in that article.

This guy pretty much summed up everything bad about the movie and then fixed it.

If only they could have made it this way....

I kind of enjoyed the movie, it had some classic-feels to it, and it had what Indiana Jones was about.

"An action-packed movie with a slightly complicated story behind it enveloped in fiction."

But I agree with what that guy said in the link, it lost a lot of its soul.

I wouldn't watch the movie again if someone offered to pay for me, it just didn't hold a candle to the previous titles.
