CONTEXT
It's the height of the Cold War, and famous archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), returning from his latest adventure, finds out his job at Marshall College is in jeopardy. He meets Mutt (Shia La Beouf), a young man who wants Indy to help him find the legendary Crystal Skull of Akator, and the pair set out for Peru. However, deadly agent Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett) is searching for the powerful artifact, too, because the Soviets believe it can help them conquer the world.
Comments
Binge-watching them now with you, I begin to see a trend. Each one tests the suspension of disbelief a bit more than the previous one. This does not bode well for the new one. I wasn't as critical of this when first seeing it. I figure, if he survives an atomic blast, the rest would be a Sunday picnic in the park. Good to be back onboard, Tim. I missed your devilish charm.

2023-06-06 02:14:22 +0000 UTCNow I was in middle school when this film came out and was so excited to see it. However once I saw it I was disappointed. The main thing being it’s aliens. With the previous films it was a treasure associated with a religion, but still had some sort of grounding in reality to mix with the mysticism that can’t be explained. When you change that to something otherworldly that can have more of an explanation it takes away some of that wonderment. Plus when George Lucas approached Spielberg with the idea he said how he hadn’t wanted to do another because the last ended perfectly a rideoff into the sunset. Also how he didn’t want to do aliens as he had done that too much. I have no plans to see the new film as I don’t want to see one of my screen heroes even older than he already was.
