Early Review Calls New Indiana Jones Film Dreadful

bowman9991 writes "Hope this one isn't true! An early negative review calls the upcoming "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" movie predictable, lacking in tension, and a fan's worst nightmare. SFFMedia believes this new Indiana Jones movie could create a similar reaction a lot of people experienced after watching the first of the last three Star Wars movies, 'The Phantom Menace': you wait for years and years, the anticipation building, and then it's so awful it taints your view of the original movies. Of course George Lucas was involved with Star Wars too." The SFFMedia piece refers to this review on Ain't it Cool News. The trailer I saw (before Iron Man) actually looked great to me, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt.

    If Lucas had a huge amount to do with the movie, there is no way it won't suck ass. But I'm sure it will chock full of little animals being eaten by progressively bigger animals, and lots of apocryphal nonsense.

    My Answer: you are too young. Too young to actually remember when Hollywood had the ability to crank out thoughtful, meaningful, entertaining, and relevant films. Yeah, Buster Keaton and the Marx Brothers were extremely thoughtful. Not to mention Birth of a Nation, some seriously thought provoking stuff there.
