It was decent. At the beginning Harrison's acting was a little blah though..

If any of you had played Uncharted for PS3, it followed the same adventure style as it in a way. I noticed a few scenes where it was almost the exact same as the game, it was awesome.

Specially the super natural ending twist. Which I really really disliked..

I really loved Indy 4, surely made me remember when I was a kid. The fact that it used very few CG effects and used traditional special effects gave it a lot of points (for me, at least).

LMAO @ the cameos from other movies like the ark near the beginning.

GOD DAMN IT I MISSPELLED IT! As for the alien part, you have to watch the movie to understand.

Edit: If one of the moderators could be so kindly to correct me in the engrish of the title.

I went to the midnight showing thinking I was going to hate it. The first few minutes I didn't like at all. But the movie completely went uphill after Indy started swinging around in the warehouse. I think the reason I disliked the beginning was the fact that every other Indy movie opened in the middle of some Indy adventure unrelated to the main plot of the story, instantly drawing you in with some level of mystery and intrigue.

Aside from that I loved it, especially Cate Blanchett's demise which gave me the same chills that the ending of Raiders first did

Shia wasn't as bad as I thought he would be, Karen Allen annoyed me somewhat (ironically Marion was who I was really excited to see back), Cate Blanchett totally stole the entire movie, John Hurt was comical and Ford is still the fucking man.

I would have liked the movie if it wasn't for the ending. And the lack of character developement for the villains.

What was wrong about the ending? It was a nice one.

Please don't come up with the "lol Indy meets ET" thing. It's Indiana Jones, not freakin' Discovery Channel.

I overall enjoyed it. The ending wasn't that great, it worked but it felt rather out of place.The whole sci-fi, "Look! It's aliens!" just seemed out of place in a sense.
The references to the old movies (like the Ark) were very nice, a subtle yet fitting touch.
And when I watched it one of my friends gave the best explanation for a "peculiar" old man: Alzheimer's.

Nice film to pass the time.

Still felt a bit dragging at the beginning...........though I couldn't imagine his partner (George Mchale) betraying him then siding with him again (saying he's a double agent).

Overall the film went really well (and rottentomatoes.com agrees too)
