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. |
