Man, poor Karen Allen isn't even an after thought for the "reporters" is she? If I didn't see her in the trailer I'd swear Marion was a figment of my imagination
Terry - Thanks for the link

Good for you. We'll be slogging it out with everybody else on Thursday. Hubby has the day off though, so we'll most likely be able to beat the crowds. Although with all of the 10 + screen theaters these days, crowds aren't what they used to be, are they? I kind of miss those days.

I have school on Thursday and a wedding on Friday. I don't think I'll get to see Indy IV until Saturday or Sunday
I should probably buy my tickets now, just to make sure I get to see it this weekend.

Yeah, this is an Indy movie, all right. Soup to nuts. I don't want to spoil anyone, seeing as how it doesn't really open until today, but I can say that much.

I had an "eh" reaction. I suppose because I was 16 when the last one came out, and I'm now 35. Big perspective difference there. Plus, I missed the middle eastern/Biblical/Nazi aspect. The Mayan/Peruvian thing was nice as a change, but I didn't dig it as much.
Plus, I have to admit, I thought the story was kind of fanficcy in its impetus and resolution. But that's just me. What I did like? All the rocking of the bow ties. Much bow tie love in this movie.

Well, I admit I loved it, but that's probably as much as anything because Harrison Ford just really can do no wrong in the role. One reviewer even pointed out that he's so natural as Indy that his costars often look like they're faking it by comparison.
Plus I loved the geeky professorial bits, which a few people have pointed out as their least favorite parts. The academic exposition may slow down the action a little, but for me that's what makes Indy unique in all the world among action heroes, and the more the better.

I can't wait to see this movie. I really hope it lives up to my expectations. Stupid Friday wedding, ruining my fun.

We just got back from seeing it and we really enjoyed it! Like you've already said Penny, it's an Indy movie, from soup to nuts. What I've always loved about Indy movies was there, and even what I haven't always loved about Indy movies was there.
I won't spoil it for anyone of course, but I know a lot of the fears I had about it were totally unfounded. And I had quite a few. Probably because I was 100% unspoiled for any of it. Other than that one pic of HF in the Indy gear that came out quite a few months back, I avoided the mere mention of the film like the plague and I'm glad I did. |

I loved Indy one and three but despised Temple of Doom. I hated Kate Capshaw, hated the bad guys, hated the gross eyeball soup, etc., etc. How would you say this one compares to ToD in feel? Since I'm just finding out it's not Nazi related, I'm afraid it will be more along the ToD spectrum.

I'm one of the deviates who actually liked ToD and some of the themes it broached, but could've done without some of the gratuitous gross-out stuff. Nothing to worry about in that regard.

I am just hoping my husband can hold out until Sunday to see it. I wouldn't be surprised if he called off his shift tonight and went to a midnight showing. LOL
